State Rep. Sally Kern (R-OK) Says Homosexuality a Bigger Threat to U.S. Than Terrorism

State Rep. Sally Kern (R-OK) is at it again, this time she's backing her 2008 comments about homosexuality being a bigger threat than terrorism. The rhetoric emanating from this woman's mouth shows just how twisted and misguided she and people who think like her are.

In a recent interview with anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera, she said:

The number of people killed in terrorist attacks in the U.S. is negligible compared to the “hundreds of thousands who have died because of having AIDS”. She goes on to say, “(E)very day our young people, adults too, but especially our young people, are bombarded at school, in movies, in music, on TV, in the mall, in magazines, they’re bombarded with ‘homosexuality is normal and natural.’ It’s something they have to deal with every day. Fortunately we don’t have to deal with a terrorist attack every day, and that’s what I mean.”

Federal Agents Cite Racist Chatter for 'Higher State of Alert' in Inauguration

While we worry about Al-Qaida, we should be worrying about the home-grown terrorists in America--the white supremacists who would go to extraordinary lengths to harm Barack Obama just because of the color of his skin. Federal agents are on “a higher state of alert” because of hate talk by white supremacists about Barack Obama’s inauguration.

“That chatter is out there, no doubt about it,” one senior FBI agent in Washington said this afternoon. The Bureau has ordered agents in all 56 field offices to “shake the trees” in advance of the Jan. 20 swearing-in of the 44th President, who will become the first African-American to occupy the Oval Office. “They’re talking to sources to determine if there is any threat information in regard to the Inauguration,” the FBI source said. “Everybody in law enforcement dealing with that particular (white supremacist) ‘clientele’ is on a higher state of alert,” a senior agent at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told The News.

The ATF has expertise infiltrating white supremacist groups. A classified threat assessment for the Inauguration by the FBI and Homeland Security Department citing agitated hate groups was sent to police agencies this week. As you recall, during Obama’s campaign, white racists in Colorado and Tennessee were charged in separate plots against the candidate.

A throng estimated between 1.5 and 3 million is expected in Washington D. C. next Tuesday. The historic ceremonies will be the largest National Special Security Event ever. At least 20,000 cops, federal agents and National Guard troops will be deployed.

Rumsfeld signed secret act in 2004 to attack Al Qaeda ANYWHERE: Be concerned, be very concerned

In case you didn't already know, back in 2004 Rumsfeld basically wrote a blank check for the military to go wherever they want to in order to chase Al Qaeda:

These military raids, typically carried out by Special Operations forces, were authorized by a classified order that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signed in the spring of 2004 with the approval of President Bush, the officials said. The secret order gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States. Source: New York Times

Basically this is saying that we can attack Al Qaeda in any country wherever they are, without the permission of the country whose border we cross. And we have the nerve to wonder why other countries don't like America?

Perhaps such a policy would be acceptable if this country had a track record of both reliable intelligence information and proved that it did not abuse it'd position as a world power for financial gain. The fact that this country has such a policy bothers me greatly.

I'm holding my breath until January 20th when the transfer of power is complete. Until this transfer, learning of this policy gives me no comfort, being well aware that it only takes one military action to propel us further into war. The bottom line is that I have little faith in the current administration to exercise sound judgment on anything pertaining to the future of this nation.

God help us!
