From the Des Moines Register:
Foes of illegal immigration are up in arms over plans for a weekend disaster exercise in western Iowa with a fictitious scenario in which young white supremacists shoot dozens of people amid rising tensions involving racial minorities and illegal immigrants.
The exercise is planned for Saturday at Treynor High School in Pottawattamie County and will involve more than 300 people, confirmed Doug Reed, the lead exercise planner for the county’s emergency management agency. Some 30 to 40 “victims” will be transported to area hospitals. He said a terrorism scenario is required by federal officials for the exercise to be eligible for funding…
Why not have a exercise where Islamists attack? Because to do so would be both relevant and true – and liberalism cannot do that. And for two reasons:
1. Islamist front groups in the United States would have a fit, and a host of lawyers and pressure groups would immediately start demonstrations and file lawsuits, thus spiking the drill and jeopardizing the federal swag.
2. For liberals the threat is always from white, male Christians who own guns. It doesn’t matter what else is going on – we are always on the verge of going on a murderous rampage as our inherent racism and violence bubbles to the surface. To liberals, the Islamists – even if they are really a threat – pale in comparison to what white, male Christians are always just about to do. Gotta be prepared for the day when the TEA Party activists take the mask off and just start killing everyone.
In itself, this drill is just asinine. It should be opposed, of course, and it is to be hoped that the publicity now surrounding it will kill it, or at least make everyone more wary of doing a repeat. But as an illustration of what we’re up against, this is invaluable. This is how we’re viewed – the left hates us with a white-hot passion and simply cannot let it go. This is why their nastiness comes so swiftly to the surface…they have so endlessly talked themselves in to really believing that we’re all racists and fascists that they don’t even live in reality.
Remember this as we go in to political battle with the left – they will not quit and they will never, ever accord us respect. All they do is designed to defeat us, even if part of the plan becomes a tactical retreat. Unless we completely uproot them from power and influence they will eventually completely uproot us.
