The Police State Is Coming For “Religious Extremists”, “Evangelical Christians”, “Pro-Life” Activists And “Libertarians”
- The Police State Is Coming For “Religious Extremists”, “Evangelical Christians”, “Pro-Life” Activists And “Libertarians”
by If you cherish faith, family and freedom, you might want to keep a low profile for a while. The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021 has been unveiled in Congress, and it has bipartisan support. It is essentially “the Patriot Act on steroids”, and we are being told that it is almost certain that some version of the legislation will make it to Biden’s desk for him to sign. Personally, I am very much against all forms of domestic terrorism, and a law which could help to prevent terror attacks from happening is going to sound like a good thing to a lot of people. Unfortunately, it appears that this bill is meant to specifically target certain groups, and as you read this article you may discover that you are a member of one or more of those groups.

Those that drafted this new law say that it will help authorities go after “extremists”, and very few of us would consider ourselves to be one of those. But the definition of an extremist has changed. Tulsi Gabbard is one of the most prominent Democrats in the House of Representatives, and last year she ran for president. But even though she is a Democrat, she is warning that this new law appears to be “a targeting of almost half of the country”…:
–
“What characteristics are we looking for as we are building this profile of a potential extremist, what are we talking about? Religious extremists, are we talking about Christians, evangelical Christians, what is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who is pro-life? Where do you take this?” Gabbard said.

She said the proposed legislation could create “a very dangerous undermining of our civil liberties, our freedoms in our Constitution, and a targeting of almost half of the country.”

- Pastor Robert Jeffress Warns Lou Dobbs ‘The Left’ Will ‘Bring Out the Guillotines’ If Trump Loses Reelection
by Jun 12th, 2020, 7:14 pm, https://www.mediaite.com/
Pastor Robert Jeffress, who once claimed Hillary Clinton supporters are going to hell, offered a different warning to Lou Dobbs for the upcoming election, claiming that if “the Left” will “bring out the guillotines” if President Donald Trump loses re-election.
–
Speaking with the Fox Business host, Jeffress praised the president’s handling of race and blasted the “Defund the Police” rallying cry some protestors have adopted in the wake of the alleged murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Jeffress, a Baptist minister who is a staunch defender of Trump, has a history of unapologetically bellicose comments about abortion, homosexuality, as well as other religions, having claimed Mormonism and Islam are cults and “heresy from the pit of hell.”
–
“Yes, we need to extinguish the problem of racism. President Trump doesn’t have a scintilla of racism about him at all,” Jeffress claimed, despite Trump’s own track record of “textbook” racist comments about a Mexican-American judge and singling out African nations as “shithole countries.” “But the president was right yesterday and the last several weeks and also talking about the problem of a lawlessness in the Bible. And look, Lou — or in the country.”
–
Jeffress then turned to the growing demands for defunding of the police, to shift resources away from armed law enforcement. “This whole idea of dismantling the police is an absurd idea that leads to hurt not just in the white communities, but in African-American communities and throughout America,” Jeffress claimed. “You know, in Romans 13, the apostle Paul said government authorities are established by God. They’re ministers of God to execute punishment against those who do what is evil. And when Paul wrote those words, Rome was in control. They had executed Christ 30 years earlier. They would behead Paul, ultimately. Paul knew above all people that law enforcement doesn’t always get it right, but that is no excuse for eliminating law enforcement.”
–
Dobbs then railed against the Seattle CHAZ protestors as well as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others who have called for the removal of statues of Confederate officials from public display in the US Capitol. “This is a moment in which we are watching irrationality, we’re watching great passions, and we are watching some of the most foolish language I’ve ever heard in this country,” the Fox Business host claimed.
–
“That’s the whole point,” Jeffress answered, before culminating his rant with a prediction that liberals or Democrats would undertake a campaign for mass executions if Trump is not re-elected in 2020. “I mean, once the left, if they succeed, they don’t only want to dismantle our current police, they want to replace our current police with the thought police who go around patrolling every thought that they find objectionable. And if the left ever gains control of this country again, I predict it’s going to be like the French Revolution. It’s going to be ‘bring out the guillotines’ and execute every thought they object to and every person who holds every thought that they object to. That is why what happens in November is so crucial. The future of our nation is at stake here.”

“It is, indeed,” Dobbs said in response to Jeffress’ incendiary claim.
