I Am A “Domestic Terrorist'

Editorial Cartoon (2011) by Marshall Ramsey

by An American Veteran: I am a ‘Domestic Terrorist”. No, not like real domestic terrorists of the Occupy Wall Street movement, who tried to blow up the Cuyahoga River Valley Bridge in Ohio, ran amok in New York and Seattle, raping women, breaking windows, setting fires, urinating on police cars, and attacking military port facilities in Oakland. All with the endorsement and high praise (barking and clapping) by Obama’s trained seals, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and members of the print and electronic media.

But, I am a “Domestic Terrorist” in the mold of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, George Washington, John Adams, John Paul Jones, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry who said “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death” and pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the face of unrelenting persecution by a tyrannical government and king some 240 years ago, boldly declaring:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”. And,

“In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” Sound familiar?

I am a “Domestic Terrorist” according to Harry Reid and an “anarchist” according to Nancy Pelosi, because this 70 year old Veteran, Father of an Iraq War veteran currently on deployment, refuses to bend a knee before a “wannabe king and dick-tator” who believe the American people are servants of the government, instead of our government serving the people.

I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe “God, Country, and Family” are not just idle words, but a way of life. My life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe life begins at conception; and if life is not safe in a mother’s womb, it’s not safe on the streets of America, as evidenced by the weekly killings on the streets of Chicago. I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe ALL Americans, should work for living, and not depend on government handouts to merely “exist”. I worked for the past 63 years, first as a newspaper delivery boy at age ten, now as President of my own company. I believe in the American dream, and that you don’t help the poor by government “redistributing” money from those of us WHO WORK. That is called “communism”.

I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe the government or its’ leaders, should not encourage its citizens to “smoke pot’ or “gamble”, just to get more tax revenues to subsidize those who do.

I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe the ATF, Bureau of Land Management and ICE should enforce our immigration laws and pursue illegal aliens and Mexican drug cartel members with the same ferocity and “storm trooper tactics” they use to pursue and harass American ranchers and citizens.

I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe in that man was created in the “image and likeness of God”. The God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. And, I am thankful for His creation and His only begotten Son dying for my sins; for my very life, my parents; wife of 40 years, three children; four grandchildren; and all that I have. And, I believe it takes three to make a marriage: God, man, and woman. Period.

Finally, I am a “Domestic Terrorist” because I believe there is NO expiration date on the Oath I swore some 56 years ago when I enlisted in the United Sates Navy: “That I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to same…..so Help Me, God!”

And I believe now, more than ever, in the words of Samuel Adams, another “Domestic Terrorist” of 1776: “The liberties of our country, the Freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending against all hazards and it is OUR DUTY to defend them against all attacks”.

On November 4, 2014, I, along with my family and many, many other “Domestic Terrorists", will exercise ‘our right” to vote again to restore our government to one that will be once more: “Of the People, By the People, and For the People!”
