AN OPEN LETTER TO JANET NAPOLITANO

 
   Dear Madam Secretary:
 
   In your agency's recent bulletin to law enforcement you have singled out Americans
 
who oppose abortion, decry outrageous taxes, despise big government encroachment,
 
champion states' rights, resent gun control or may be returning military veterans as
 
persons who may be radicalized right-wing extremists. If those are the criteria for
 
dangerous extremists, then on most counts you may consider me one of them. The
 
bad news is that we are millions strong, and in four years you and your socialist boss
 
are going to be joining the ranks of the unemployed. You see, we "extremists" are
 
even now mustering an army -- AN ARMY OF DISGUSTED VOTERS. And no
 
memorandum you issue, no policy you pursue, no conspiracy you hatch can do
 
anything to stop us.
 
   Your problem is that we aren't doing anything illegal. Our Tea Party tax and spending
 
protests are protected free speech. The Supreme Court has already spoken loud and clear
 
on our second amendment right to keep and bear arms. Freedom of opinion and speech
 
are constitutionally guaranteed, and our belief that abortion is nothing but legalized
 
infanticide is just as viable as yours that it isn't. What's next?  Are you going to arrest
 
the whole Catholic Church? None of us disputes the government's authority to impose
 
reasonable taxes. But the final arbiter of whether those taxes are reasonable and
 
whether the government is using them responsibility is the voter -- the American
 
citizen -- not the government itself. Of the 23,000 veterans who have returned
 
from our various wars, how many can be shown to have radicalized? The answer
 
is 203. That's eight-tenths of one per cent. Your callous attempt to besmirch the
 
reputations of the fine men who have risked their lives in the service of our nation
 
is a DISGRACE not to them but to you.
 
   So while you point decent enforcement personnel in the direction of little old
 
ladies carrying right to life signs, the Islamic extremists with active cells in
 
this country are free to pursue their nefarious schemes. Illegal aliens who have
 
infiltrated our borders and continue to do so daily run scot free (as your
 
ridiculously lax enforcement allows them to do) in hopes that craven Democrats,
 
desperate to preserve their newfound power will bail them out with a general
 
amnesty. Why don't you do your real job, Madam Secretary, instead of acting
 
like an ACORN thug and singling out conservatives for persecution?
 
   A key player in Hitler's Third Reich was Heinrich Goebbels. Through the
 
information ministry he sought to discredit by innuendo all those who opposed
 
National Socialism and the Fuehrer. At the same time, the Gestapo was ferreting
 
out those who they believed might actually pose a threat. It's essentially the
 
same thing Chavez is doing in Venezuela right now. The reason socialism can
 
only succeed by stifling dissent is because it is indefensible in the marketplace
 
of ideas where respect cannot be ceded, but must be earned. But this is America,
 
 Madam Secretary, and we will not go quietly to Auschwitz, Dachau or obscurity.
 
We will rally those who believe in a free America and WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT!
 
   Your memorandum is a national disgrace! Sieg Heil Napolitano! Sieg Heil Obama!
