Enemies Of The State

Courtesy of MWO, I find that Bill O’Reilly has issued the following warning:

“Once the war against Saddam Hussein begins, we expect every American to support our military, and if you can’t do that, just shut up.

Americans, and indeed our foreign allies who actively work against our military once the war is underway, will be considered enemies of the state by me.

Just fair warning to you, Barbra Streisand and others who see the world as you do. I don’t want to demonize anyone, but anyone who hurts this country in a time like this, well. Let’s just say you will be spotlighted.

Talking points invites all points of view and believes vigorous debate strengthens the country, but once decisions have been made and lives are on the line, patriotism must be factored in.”

The phrase “Enemy of the State” is not usually used by Americans, now is it? But, it certainly has a familiar ring to it. Where have we heard it before??

The Kulaks Are the Enemy of the State

— Joseph Stalin

The Indian shopkeepers are the Enemy of the State

–Idi Amin

The white farmers are the Enemy of the State

— Robert Mugabe

The Jewish shopkeepers are the Enemy of the State

— Adolph Hitler

Great minds do think alike.
