Dealing With Extremists

We have heard a lot about the threat from “domestic extremists” from the current administration.  In order to understand the potential threat, a clear understanding of the word extremist is needed.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, an extremist is:

A person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action.

Such people oppose the core principles of democracy and civil rights.  Political extremists often show disdain for the rights and liberties of others.  However, any attempts to limit their activities result in resentment and violence.   Extremists favor censorship of those of differing viewpoints but use intimidation and manipulation to spread their own assertions and claims. They often use “injustice” as an excuse for acts of violence.

White supremacists like Neo-Nazis and the KKK, along with BLM and Antifa are examples of politically extreme groups.  Who is the bigger threat?

During the last two decades, white supremacists have been responsible for some 50-60 homicides.  Muslim extremists killed 3,000 people on one day. Muslim extremists, also known as jihadists, have continued to murder people around the world since 9/11.  Last summer left wing extremists (BLM and Antifa) were responsible for scores of homicides, some of which were streamed live on the Internet.  In addition, they destroyed sections of many cities causing billions of dollars in damages.  They also destroyed the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.  This is not the first time these organizations have been actively trying to overthrow our government.

Despite this, the current administration wants the public to believe that white supremacy is an existential threat to this country.  They want the public to believe that most of the one million people who protested peacefully in Washington on January 6^th are white supremacists and domestic terrorists who need to be de-programmed and re-educated.

To move this narrative forward, the administration finds itself constrained by the Bill of Rights.  The administration is now enlisting the social media companies to surveil Americans online for “extremist talk.”  This is what totalitarian governments do.

No one has defined just what extremist talk is.  I am sure that it includes discussion about irregularities in election results.  People who are fed up with ridiculous and unscientific CDC mandates would undoubtedly be considered extremists who need to be monitored.  Another example of extremist talk would be opposition to the idea of vaccine passports.  Clearly any belief in free and fair elections needs to be eradicated.

Clearly all of these people are a threat to the power that the Dems think they have over Americans and therefore must be surveilled.  They will smear anyone of prominence who dares to speak out in support of these people.

It is time for us to take back the playing field from these wannabe dictators.  We need to support alternate means of speaking out.  We need to call out any and all efforts to denigrate people who believe in freedom and liberty.  We need to point out true extremists, people and organizations who would end liberty for all if they could.  These include the Marxist BLM as well as the fascist Antifa organizations.

I believe we are approaching an inflection point.  It is time for true Americans to take back our country.
