Eric Holder is worried about Americans becoming a terrorist threat

December 21, 2010

  Attorney General Eric Holder once called America a nation of cowards, but there is something that Eric Holder fears so much that he loses sleep over it–the American people and the possibility that they will become radicalized and begin terrorist activity against the government.

It is one of the things that keeps me up at night,” Holder said. “You didn’t worry about this even two years ago — about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do. And — that is of — of great concern.””The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens — raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born

 What I find interesting about this statement is that he admitted that we did not have to worry about radicalized Americans two years ago and this just happens to be the point in time when President Bush was protecting the American people. The only thing that has changed since that time is the fact that we have elected a man to protect the people that is weak on national defense and security and because of this the American people are less safe today than they were when George Bush was the president.

  When Eric Holder made that statement he was talking about Americans becoming radicalized and turning to al Qaeda, specifically mentioning that the one thing these potential terrorists have in common is Anwar Al Awlaki. He is quick to point out that Anwar Al Awlaki is an American citizen as well.

  So while the Obama regime turns its focus on domestic terrorism it leaves one to wonder how exactly the regime intends to assure that Americans won’t have access to deadly weapons, and that leads me to think about a post that I wrote yesterday about the ATF asking for emergency powers in order to start tracking American citizens who have purchased more than one high power rifle within a five day period. Could this be part of a larger effort to disarm the American people under the guise of protecting us against our own? We also recently learned that the Obama regime is tracking the credit card usage of Americans without getting warrants to do so. And who can forget about the infamous memo released by Janet Napolitano which warned about homegrown domestic right wing terrorists such as returning veterans?

  Eric Holder is worried about Americans and we can assume that the Obama regime intends to do something about this concern. Naturally this would mean–among other policies–more strict gun control laws and like all gun control laws they only punish law abiding American citizens while the criminals remain unaffected by the new regulations.

  We know that while Eric Holder mentions  Anwar Al Awlaki by name as the person most responsible for  this new threat, the Obama regime is never going to target those that are most likely to become radicalized Muslims who join al Qaeda–they will target ALL Americans because they still are unwilling to admit who the real enemy is, as well as being too concerned about offending Muslims to take every precaution that is necessary to keep the American people safe. As a result ALL Americans–including those that have never gone afoul of the law–will be subjected to these new policies, and all of these policies will naturally infringe on our rights, liberties, and freedoms.

  I am beginning to find this new focus on the potential threat that the American citizens represent to the Obama regime to be more than a little unsettling. I honestly do not believe that there is a larger possibility that Americans will become radicalized than there  was at any other time in the past and yet the Obama regime seems intent on making this a cornerstone of its terrorism policy.

    I get the feeling that Eric Holder and company are just waiting for something to happen. If it does, they will then have the justification to do whatever they deem necessary to control the situation. That troubles me more than just a little.

    It makes you wonder if they aren’t stoking the fire, if you will. If they aren’t trying to create the very scenario they are warning against.

      It certainly seem like that is a possibility, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing just that.

    When I read that, I first thought of the MIAC and DHS reports from last year. I’ve been worried about the government targeting us since the Patriot Act passed. Once I read some of this, I thought, “what will the next Dem POTUS do with this?”

    It still wouldn’t surprise me if more resources are targeting citizens over their political beliefs rather than islamofascists.

      Yes, it does seem like this president is using the Patriot Act to justify all of these encroachments and it is getting more than a little worrysome. I wouldn’t be surprised either if we found out the government was spending more money watching us than the enemy.

    The Patriot Act is coming back to bite us big time. I had no idea how much power the ATF had in controlling guns, and keep in mind ammunition as well. My feeling is that they have been lying in wait for the final two years. They have not been shy in telling us they intend to rule by “Executive Order”. That and his Czars will pretty much shape our destiny if we don’t figure out a workaround. I agree that I am thinking he is waiting for an attack.

      I am afraid that much of Barack Obama’s agenda over the next two years will be implemented through executive order as a way to get around the will of the people. I hope that we are wrong, but I am not sure we are.

    I have been posting on my blog for a long time now, all Obama and Company need is on disaster or attack that affects the nation, then it’s martial law and executive orders…

    It is understandable that people with guilty consciences feel insecure.
    These people are not above instigating a situation that gives them reason to take more control over our lives.

      My thoughts exactly, they are trying to manipulate the situation to provide them with a desirable outcome and they are going to be dangerous over the next two years.

    He just can’t say it, can he? Islam. That is the threat. Homegrown, imported, manufactured-the threat is Islam. Of course, that didn’t stop the TSA from attacking Americans, and it won’t stop Holder.

    Holder is a hack. Out of the domestic terrorist actions that have taken place since Obama was sworn into office all have one thing in common: Muslims not born here! The political games the Obama admin plays with identity politics are disturbing and dangerous. Of course, if something did happen they will be laying themselves wide open to having missed the real threat.

    Note that when Clinton was in power Janet Reno had similar issues but I think some of those like Ruby Ridge and Waco were partially of her own making.

    Look at what these people consider “radical”. Constitutionalists, Christians, pro-lifers, gun owners, people who oppose the federal reserve, people who question the government, people who ask questions about 9-11, people who support Ron Paul and Bob Barr, people who don’t want to be sexually assaulted at the airport by the TSA, people who support closing the southern border … The list goes on and on. Just read the MIAC Report. If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, nothing will. It really gives you an inside look into these people’s heads. If you don’t worship the government, you’re on the list.

    Not once, since 9-11, have I worried about cave men in dirty night shirts killing me. NOT ONCE! The real threat to this country is the fascist takeover of OUR government that we are all witnessing right now. Holder loses sleep over all the armed, private citizens in this country preventing them from implementing their version of the final solution.
