Quote:BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP A police and emergency drill last month at Burlington Township High School has garnered national attention from conservatives angry about a scenario that involved fictional members of an armed right-wing fundamentalist group.''

Although police and township officials said the scenario was generic and did not specify any religion, many inferred it described the school invaders as conservative Christians.

Everyone understands the need for readiness exercises, but to come up with a scenario like this it's very troubling. It shows a clear hostility toward religion, said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, a Washington D.C.-based law firm specializing in religious issues and Constitutional law.

Sekulow, who also hosts a national call-in radio show, said the center has received literally thousands of phone calls from people upset about the exercise.

Opinion columnists and Internet bloggers also learned of the drill and leveled criticism at the police department and school district.

In a syndicated column published yesterday, Fox News Channel contributor Michelle Malkin decried the drill scenario as jihad whitewashing because it did not specify a threat from Islamic extremists.

The drill scenario was created by the Burlington Township Police Department and was written in an information packet describing the objectives of the drill. It specified that two armed men invade the high school through the front entrance, shoot several students in the hallways, then barricade themselves in the media center with 10 student hostages.

The written scenario used by police during the drill described the intruders as members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the "New Crusaders' who do not believe in the separation of church and state. They also have a strong commitment in their right to bear arms.

The scenario also indicated the mock gunmen went to the school seeking justice because the daughter of one of the men was given detention and eventually expelled for praying before the beginning of class.

During the drill, the detectives portraying the hostage takers did not mention God or any religious figure, police officials said.

A joint statement issued yesterday by Burlington Township municipal government and the school district said officials regret any insensitivity that might have been inferred by the scenario.

The scenario chosen was intended to be generic in nature and never intended to offend any group, affiliation or religious belief, the statement said.

Public Safety Director Walter Corter said the scenario was created to represent anybody who was an extremist and not dealing with reality, and never specified Christian terrorists or other religious or ethnic groups.

Never once was religion mentioned. That was never our intent, Corter said yesterday. The whole point of the exercise was to further enhance our ability to protect the students, faculty and staff.

Corter said the publication of the drill scenario initially generated concern from members of the Fountain of Life Center, an Assembly of God congregation in Florence, but most of the recent criticism has come from outside Burlington County.

The Rev. David Boudwin, a pastor at Fountain of Life Center, said he felt the scenario description insinuated that Christians would commit violent, illegal acts if mistreated.

It was just a bash on Christians, and I told (police) so, Boudwin said. It was a very, very poor decision on their part. A lot of people in the county are up in arms about this.

The school district has also received numerous e-mail messages, according to a spokeswoman for the school district.

Corter said the controversy surrounding the drill scenario has overshadowed the real purpose of testing emergency procedures and police tactics during a school hostage crisis.

Overall, it was a success in preparing our police, fire, EMS and school staff in case we're ever faced with a serious incident in the schools, he said.

Looks like everything is being setup for the communist whore Hillary Clinton.

Lol, and I'm sure if it was militant jihadist group, no one would have a problem.

Even if you believe the jihadist threat is real(which is not)you believe right-wing christians who are for the 2nd amendment are a threat to American kids?

It has nothing to do w/ right wing christians, it's right wing fundamentalist extremists. It doesn't matter what the religion is, there can be extremists of that religion.

I can't believe what I'm reading. I would expect a mindless liberal or a blood thirsty neo-con to give me that response but from someone here? Don't you know that the globalists always end up funding these so called extremists? Your telling me you believe in this islamo-fascist threat that our government is pushing? Then you should be pro-war.

Ok, so we know they like to stereotype extremist Arabs, then there are all those different pidgeonholes TPTB use as tactics to stereotype extremist Christians (think abortion clinic bombings) -- even got some tie-in with Zionism now with the revealing of certain details of the Trenchcoat Mafia, and the hammer of God weilding ex-med student who was taking his hammer a bit too literally,

(And I really loved my black trench too. Wished they picked another choice in attire.)

But they never depict the other extremists, so those must be the ones you need to worry about: How about black hooded robed figures, naw, wouldn't work, without the hood up they would look too much like judges.
Men in black...too generic. Armour laden Wack-from-the-Hut-types....whoa now. Or how about, extremist fascist pigs in business suits...:scream: (Apron optional??)

Just to be fair to everybody they should include an equal opportunity selection in their groups, one of each possible faction. (Like they all believed the same thing in each of their respective groups, so a lot of them were moles but they covertly met and formed this All Encompasing-Ethnic-Racial-Religion-and Monetary Class Solidarity group where Jesuit ninjas could fight on the same side as black hoodies, and unforms of every type and color. A truly globalized expression. Rich man and poor man.)

They need to be more creative with their drills....and egalitarian.

Think it will happen?:rolleyes:

Sorry bro, you may have misunderstood me. What I was saying is that people are getting all up in arms over the terrorist group being right wing fundamentalists, whereas i said, "I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem w/ it if it was a jihadist group".
What I meant by that is...(isn't it obvious)...they're offended because they associate right wing fundamentalism w/ themselves, and if it was jihad extremism, they'd be cool w/ it.

Anyways my point is that I don't see a problem w/ the drill, because I believe there can be radical terrorists of any political, religious, etc. group or stance.

I hope I cleared things up.

You don't see a problem with the drill? There is a huge problem with the drill besides just what kind of group the men barging into the school pointing guns said they were obviously. The fact that the said they were "Christian Conservatives" just goes along with what they were doing, it's what they were doing that's the story. Did you know that like infowarrior said the government who conducts these drills employs & funds the extremist groups? And gets them to carry out attacks so there can be more bizarre intimidating drills in public schools & the police state can clamp down harder? Or that the only "right wing fundamentalist extremists" that ever engaged in an act of real terrorism in American history (OKC) were employed by the government? In order to create that bad rep. for patriots?

The extremists are the guys barging into schools pointing guns at kids. Those are the only extremists you really need to be concerned about.

bando · 04-09-2007, 05:18 AM

Hmmm, I guess I really didn't look at it that way. I was just seeing how people were angry because the mock terrorist group was right wing fundamentalists.

MC David · 04-09-2007, 05:21 AM

Yeah that's how they fool people they build the argument up on the insignificant debate about what type of group the guys barging into school pointing guns at kids said they were rather than just if what they were doing is acceptable or not. That's how they get us to be complacent & progress their agenda (the new world order.)

NoSlave · 04-09-2007, 05:30 AM

The whole thing sounds sick in so many ways, it feels very deep to me. It's obviously a phy-op hatched from the nwo. People are being conditioned to fear religion so that they won't mind them taking it away from us. It has to be taken away to complete their agenda, if people believe that their rights come from God instead of the state they don't make very good slaves. Also if people find comfort in religion they don't have to go to brainwashed pill pushing doctors. The Nazis took away religion as did the comunists of Russia.

Also it seams like another attack on guns, which have to go to make it easying for them to rape us when ever they want to.

It also seems to perpetuate this supposive seperation between church and state. No where in The Contitution of the United States is there a mention of such a thing. What it says is:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibititing the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This is so deeply sick I need to do more research on this case.

I just watch an add for Gatoraid AM. Which after reading this post made me think they are advertising their morning wood.

opps this post wasn't suppose to go here... I should pay more attention

Spork · 04-10-2007, 02:50 AM

I don't get why they're having drills for a fictional threat. I don't recall there being a Christian terrorist problem in the US. Why don't we have Bigfoot Drills? Or Extremist Janitor Drills?

This is what Robert Anton Wilson would have called a semantic spook. The government seems to be creating a threat just by saying it's a threat, when there's objectively no threat at all.
