Homeland Security Issues a Report Warning of Right Wing Radicals
Is this how people who oppose this administration are going to be characterized? This is truly scary. The department of Homeland Security has issued a report in which people on the right are being stereotyped as violent, gun-toting racists and law enforcement is being told to be on the lookout.
The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff’s departments across the United States on April 7 under the headline, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”
The following is also in the report:
It says the federal government “will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months” to gather information on “rightwing extremist activity in the United States.”
The joint federal-state activities will have “a particular emphasis” on the causes of “rightwing extremist radicalization.”
But this report goes deeper than just stereotyping the people on the right on the issues of guns and race, it also warns of people who want illegal immigration stopped and warns of people who are anti-abortion, and it warns of people who feel the federal government is growing too big.
Basically if you are on the opposite side of an issue with this president the Department of Homeland Security believes that you are a threat to radicalize. This is a frightening, there was a time when dissent was patriotic (remember Hillary?) but now dissent because it is on the right wing is dangerous and must be closely watched.
The president has distanced himself from this report but the fact is that he appointed Janet Napolitano so he owns this report. He had to have known her stance on issues such as this and he must have agreed with it or he would not have appointed her.
The left has found it’s enemy and it is not alQaeda and it is not North Korea, Iran, or Cuba, it is half of the American people.

Very interesting view point… Violence is OK when done by “Politically Correct” people?
So, what happen in Oklahoma City is bad, but self-professed Marxist Bill Ayers and his Underground Weathermen blowing up several building and killing people is NOT bad. In fact, not only is he unrepentant, he is NOT serving life in prison for murder and treason. Instead, he is rewarded with a professorship teaching our children to HATE our Republic, receives plenty of “grant” money from Left-Wing foundations, and helps our President launch his national political career. That, apparently is OK. I guess that means that other Communist groups should be rewarded for doing what Ayers did — the Symbionese Lliberation Army, the Animal Liberation Front, the Environmental Liberation Front …. notice how they all say they are an “army of liberation” but all they do is kill and destroy in their efforts to force Marxism down our throats.

We are not ANTI government, and shouldn’t be anti-taxes. We want a smaller government that uses our money for our good, in the ways we want it used.
We need to look at history,
Just before the “Great Depression” the US was absolutely THRIVING. The president during that time PHYSICALLY made the government smaller (like selling Gov land and old buildings even).
Guess what happened when the new administration came in and instantly started making government bigger – we started an economic decline and (among other things) led to the great depression.
We need to look at the current world around us.

Talk about an overabundance of knee-jerk reactions.
First off, the term “right-wing extremists” referring to domestic terrorists such as McVeigh predates the Obama administration by at least 10 years. These are the people on which this report concentrates; not your run of the mill card holding republican/libertarian. Let me remind you that there were a number of incidents of people shouting “kill him” at Palin rallies. On talk radio, I’ve heard a number of people make veiled suggestions for armed uprising; especially on Beck’s program. People with this mindset should be watched.
Secondly, if memory serves me correctly, one of the biggest criticisms of Obama was that he will not do his job when it comes to dealing with terrorism. This is a report by the DHS and by extension the Obama administration for attempting to identify domestic terrorists. In other words, he’s being criticized for doing his job.
Finally, there have been similar reports made about left wing extremists. This is not a case of picking on the right. This is a standard assessment of possible terrorist activity.
“FOX News has obtained a copy of the assessment, dated Jan. 26 and titled “Left-wing Extremists Likely to Increase Use of Cyberattacks Over the Coming Decade.” It concentrates largely on the technical savvy of left-wing extremists and not bloodshed.
“The perception that cyberattacks are non-violent aligns well with ideological beliefs, strategic objectives and tactics of many left-wing extremists,” the earlier report reads. “The increasing reliance of commercial business and other enterprises on cyber technologies, including interconnected networks and remote access, creates new and expanding vulnerabilities that technically savvy left-wing extremists will exploit.””

The report goes beyond domestic terrorists though.
” A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning says.”
They can define anti-abortion groups or groups that want to end illegal immigration as hate groups.
LikeLike
They have always been able to define anti-abortion groups and anti-immigration groups as terrorists using the definition in the Patriot act. There have been past incidents of violence by those two groups that by today’s standards would be called terrorism. It would be irresponsible to not include them in an assessment.
It is important to note that the context of the document is an assessment to assist in identifying and preventing domestic terrorism. A lot of it concentrates on the types of people that are likely to join these groups and the types of people that these groups will target for recruitment.
To be honest, I expect that there is a similar document that concentrates on left wing extremism. I know of a report that lists left wing extremist groups that was written for the Department of Energy (pdf).

Wasn’t it Obama that said he wanted to do away with profiling, claiming all the way he was a sucess story when it came to civil right?

I am a Veteran, a 100% Service Connected disabled Veteran, I stood watch when the FALN (terror group) tried to direct attacks at my unit.

as a non college degree holding disabled veteran, I’m not sure if I come anywhere close to holding your incredible insight and perspective on all matters worldly, however, somewhere during my lack of higher educational travels (I believe it was around 3rd grade), I learned there were only 3 branches of government and I don’t recall the JUSTICE “DEPARTMENT” being among them. Perhaps you can look in one of your textbooks (that square thing with all the graffiti inside) where it might say something like “there is a JUDICIARY branch of government”, look further and it may tell you that “the JUSTICE department is a CABINET position (you know.. right there next to the kitchen sink).

Well excuse me for wanting to use facts and logic rather than emotion to make my arguments. The point that I was addressing was the claim that only the Obama voters were a bunch of uneducated idiots. The facts do not support the argument. Now, I will say that Obama did a better job of mobilizing his “3L” supporters than McCain did in mobilizing his “3L” supporters.
Let me point out something: Obama won Indiana. Indiana is a republican/conservative stronghold. Just the fact that it was even a battleground surprised me but for him to actually win it should say something. In my microcosm (sorry, that’s a big word), I am seeing it was a lack of support for what the republicans were offering. This is a point that seems to be escaping the republican leadership.
Dude, you are assuming way too much to think that I was saying the justice department is a branch of government. The president does more than just sends troops to war and signs/vetoes legislation. The president’s job is to enforce federal laws which is where the justice department, DHS, CIA, FBI, NSA, and so on come into play.

If I may make a suggestion…The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be required reading for anyone and everyone. These are not difficult documents to understand. At least put forth a little effort to comprehend why our country exists. If you voted for Obama, congratulations. If you voted for McCain, you pretty much got him, anyway. My problem (and I vote in elections at all levels) is that these 2 gentlemen were deemed the best choice by politicians, not the people. We fight each other as mortal enemies, each taking potshots at the other’s supposed lack of intelligence. What are we doing? We chose between 2 candidates presented. We didn’t hold either to account for their records in “public service,” we allowed the media do our jobs poorly, or not at all, and we allowed the 2 parties to present their choices for our diversion. Stop yelling at each other, please. Take a look in the mirror, challenge yourself to do better, do more, read more, act more responsibly now, in the future, at the voting booth, in your community. Read the constitution. Believe me, you will know more than your (our) “leaders.” Stop being cannon fodder for the two parties. In my humble estimation, we are dangerously close to fascism. We yell at each other, point fingers, defend the indefensible on behalf of leaders who don’t care if we exist in the first place, only need us for what we can give, or they can take, and whose sole purpose has been to gain more power. Save a few notable exceptions, they think we exist for them. The constitution tells you what leadership is, who it serves, and why. Any action taken by any leader, no matter the political affiliation du jour, outside those parameters, is FACIST. President Obama has just joined the ranks of those who have paved the way for him to continue the policies of diversion, division, and the end of a sovereign nation. Stop making this personal to him. He’s just marching to the same tune we have long since tuned out, because we are too busy to devote any time to intellectual honesty. No one commenting here has ANY power over our lives.
