The #1 threat to America? No, it's not bears. Try Libraries.

“Are libraries necessary, or a waste of tax money?” The headline for Anna Davlante’s post on Fox Chicago News is phrased as a question, but it seems like she’s got a particular answer in mind. “Keeping libraries running costs big money,” Davlante points out. “In Chicago, the city pumps $120 million a year into them. In fact, a full 2.5 percent of our yearly property taxes go to fund them. That’s money that could go elsewhere—like for schools, the CTA, police or pensions”…. That leads her to count library visitors on a camera. “In an hour, we counted about 300 visitors. Most of them were using the free internet. The bookshelves? Not so much.” She does admit, though, that libraries raise some money as well—through fines

Unbeknownst to most good, God-fearing Americans, a virulent threat lies dormant in plain sight. Yes, America, I’m talking about public libraries, those bastions of Leftist conspiracies and incubators of those who would destroy this country we love. You might think that homeless people using public computers pose a threat. You might think people quietly doing research (no doubt on how to attack America) pose a threat. You might even think that people checking out books pose a clear and present danger to our safety and security. Yes, you might think all those things…but you’d be wrong. The REAL threat posed by libraries is the encouragement they present to Americans to think for themselves. Remember, when you think, the terrorists win. Is that REALLY what you want?

If Americans begin thinking for themselves, how will those in this country’s security apparatus (and those on the Right) be able to convince us who (and how virulently) to hate and fear? If Americans begin thinking for themselves, they might just begin to figure out that there are those in this country with a vested interest in keeping us scared stupid. If Americans begin to think (admittedly an unlikely prospect, but work with me here), they might just realize that fear is how Republicans intend to gain and consolidate power. If libraries are allowed to enjoy continued public support, and Americans learn to think for themselves, who knows what sort of vile retribution might be visited upon us??

Thank GOD for the fine work of Fox News Channel’s local Chicago affiliate in bravely exposing the threat posed to the Homeland by public libraries. Yes, only when public libraries are defunded and turned into Conservative re-education camps will good, God-fearing, White Christians be safe from the depravity of Muslims and godless Liberals.

Remember, when you patronize public libraries, you support those who hate America and await instructions from their Liberal, America-hating, Muslim overlords to destroy the Fatherland Homeland. When you think, you’re conspiring with those who would attack and destroy us.

WE ARE AT WAR WITH ISLAM. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH ISLAM. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN??
