Gut feeling

Submitted by Rick Perlstein on July 12, 2007



Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has a "gut feeling" about an imminent terrorist attack by the end of the summer.

So do I.


He can't point to a "specific threat." I can. Consider the fact pattern this spring and summer.

• April 26: 150 state, federal, and local cops raid four militia compounds in Alabama, one of them trip-wired with grenades, sweeping up a rocket launcher, 2,500 rounds of ammunition, and 130 grenades.

• April 25: nail-bomb found in an Austin abortion clinic parking lot "configured in such a way to cause serious bodily injury or death."

• May 1: Washington DC Minuteman and Freeper in good standing found with stash of semi-automatic weapons and explosives after his arrest at an immigration march.

• May 20: Aryan Nations member Jason Kenneth Hamilton kills wife, police officer, and church sexton at a Moscow, Idaho courthouse, wounding three others, then killed himself.

• May 22: Liberty University students arrested for possession of napalm bombs at Jerry Falwell's funeral.

Now this: Operation Rescue activists disrupt the business of the U.S. Senate, crying, "No Lord but Jesus Christ!" as a Hindu delivers the ceremonial invocation. See the video above - but more, importantly, read statement below, which does not even recognize the act as civil disobedience; the only people who broke a law, it clearly implies, are the senators who refused to step in to join them, thus betraying "our Founding Fathers":

Theology has moved from the church house onto the floor of the United States Senate, and has been arrested.

I also have another gut feeling: no one in the national media will really much care.

I'm not really following you around this morning, just finding lots of stuff you post very interesting. thanks.

I know you're not, and I'm enjoying your company! :P
