Democrats scare America

The Spokesman-Review

Why is there an upsurge in “militia” activity whenever the Democrats are in power (“Militia movement gains momentum,” Aug. 12)? Is it because the Democratic Party is perceived as the party of Big Brother and totalitarianism?

Democrats need to remember that millions of Americans remain strongly opposed to such Democratic Party “values” as abortion, gay marriage, gun control and socialism.

Feeling powerless and afraid, millions turn to Fox News and talk radio for the truth. Others join “militias.”

No doubt, the Democrats will use the “militia” juggernaut as another excuse to disarm law-abiding Americans.

Anti-gun extremists frequently claim the Second Amendment defenders are militia members or terrorists. Such claims are as false as the assertion that Mr. Obama was born in Africa!
