Do We Need to Protect Ourselves?

I am of the firm opinion that the US Government is already well aware of the concerns raised in the Freedom House report. I also believe that this information, which is neither isolated nor unique in character, presents a prima facie case that the presence of Islam in the US poses a real and immediate threat to the lives, safety, and security of the American people. Surely, if I can figure this out, so can the Administration and our elected representatives.

Which leads to this question, which really is not rhetorical in nature...Are those who govern our country purposefully allowing this to continue with some protracted goal in view of which only they are aware?

It seems to me that there is an amazing parallel between allowing the continued immigration of Muslims to the US, the proliferation of Islamic centers, mosques, Muslim businesses, and terror networks, and the Administration's refusal to secure our borders and identify and if appropriate, deport (considering the need for compassion and their loyalty to America, if any) illegal aliens.

It is almost as if the Administration hopes to foment chaos, and it seems that the ONLY time that the effects of these policies and practices are discussed is when they are raised by non-government sources. Even then, government response is often non-existent or worse, deceitful, as when we were promised 2,000 new Border Patrol agents but then the funding for those agents was nixed....

This does not make me feel warm and fuzzy....
