Christian Terrorists Are Safer Than Muslim Terrorists

There doesn’t seem to be much outcry from conservatives over the release of nine members of Hutaree. (Check out some of these links if you’re not familiar with the group or their plans.) A judge has released them until their trial date. The federal government is appealing that ruling.

If these would-be terrorists were Muslims or had Arabic names, the public would be clamoring to send them to Gitmo. Get them out of the country! Americans are not safe having these monsters inside our border. And torture them while you’re at it.

What’s with the double standard here? From my narrow uninformed perspective, a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. But what do I know?

If somebody has enough weapons to single-handedly invade a small country, and has been conspiring to set off a civil war by killing law enforcement officers and their families — I don’t care if this person’s name is John Smith or Abdullah el-Habiballakhbar. I don’t care if he’s a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, devil worshiper, atheist, or whatever.

And presumably, if one of your loved ones becomes “collateral damage” in a terrorist attack, you’re not gonna be thinking “I bet it was one of those F#$%!# Muslim — oh, it was Jim Bob? Hey, shit happens.”

I think anyone arrested on terrorism charges — whether it’s conspiracy or after-the-fact — should have their Miranda Rights read to them. (I can’t believe conservatives are still hissyfitting over a 45-year-old Supreme Court ruling.) They should be provided with defense lawyers if they can’t afford one. Their trial should take place here in the U. S. of A; not Cuba. Their guilt or innocence should be determined by a jury in a courtroom; not a few officers in a secret military tribunal. And they shouldn’t have confessions “coerced” out of them while in prison. And they should NOT be released to their homes while they wait for trial.

Everything in the above paragraph applies to ANY terrorist suspect, regardless of their name, nationality or religion.

Anti-American Terrorist Group Comprised of — Ahem, Uhh — sssshhhhh….

Saving the country from a domestic terrorist attack is important and all that. But political correctness comes first and foremost. You’ll remember last year when Janet Napolitano set off a firestorm when she warned about the threat of domestic terrorists.

No no, the hysterical reaction wasn’t based on fear of an attack. The Homeland Security chief mentioned that some of these militia members were veterans — and the Rightwing Inbred Machine had themselves a Super-Soundbite.

Veterans! The Obama Administration slanders veterans! Democrats hate the troops!

And now, the domestic terrorist group du jour is made up of — nothing personal here or anything, but — Christians.

Damn, talk about timing! The Right spends months gearing up for the annual War on Christmas. They could have turned this into a War on Easter, if only these terrorists had been caught a month or two ago. But Easter is just six days away. How will they spin this?

Nevertheless, Christians are being persecuted. Kill a bunch of police officers in the name of Jesus, and that damn liberal media will be all over your case.

Hutaree is a Christian militia group based in Michigan. Nine of their members have been charged with conspiring to kill law enforcement officers. Their followup plan was to attack a police funeral procession so they could kill some more police officers. This in turn would be the catalyst for a larger uprising against the government.

The leader of this gang is David Brian Stone, aka “Captain Hutaree.” Stone’s son Joshua, also a member, is being sought by police. Stone’s ex-wife told reporters:

“It started out as a Christian thing. You go to church. You pray. You take care of your family. I think David started to take it a little too far.”

…no comment…

Here’s a link to their website, which is “Temporarily Unavailable.” Hutaree is a “secret” word that means Christian Warrior. A secret word??? Sounds like that Night Gallery episode where this mythology professor starts mutating after he speaks the names of a few ancient gods and demons who aren’t supposed to be named.

The Hutaree — oops, I said it again — view all law enforcement officers as an “enemy brotherhood.” It doesn’t matter whether they’re local, state, federal, United Nations — they’re all The Enemy.

After Hutaree completed Step Two — setting off a bomb at a police funeral — Step Three was for members to retreat to a few “rally points” which were protected by trip-wire explosive devices. And here, the Christian Soldiers would batten down for their long bloody war with the United States government.

Do we still have any of those secret prisons in Uzbekistan where these perverts could be rendered?
