THE FBI conspiring to censor American's free speech... indicates that 
the FBI considers WE THE PEOPLE their enemy...

Why do Democrats hate American citizens so much?



  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeT67BvYzo4



Obama said to Marxist Laraza Latinos who come here from South and

Central America and do NOT support the U.S. Constitution or the

American people... *Punish Our Enemies* (American citizens/voters).



Which begs the question of what do Obama and the Democrats say to their

other Marxist and Jihadist friends when they reward them? What did Obama

say when he gave Iran $150 BILLION DOLLARS? Was Obama again... punishing

his enemies (The American citizens/voters) by rewarding America's

enemies?  Are Obama and Democrats punishing Americans with Democrats

contrived gas shortages and inflation and allowing murderers to cross 
the Southern

Borders unchecked for Criminal past or mental illness?



Obama appears to be a Grand Kleegle who recruits the cult members in the

One World Cult that hates Americans and sees and describes you to his

disciples as the enemy of the One World cult and (the Democrats cult

which is owned by the One World cult and is really all a one world wide,

  cult).



*WAS OBAMA ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS*  ????????
