Imagine, if you will, what the Left would say if we took this entire document and replaced all references to “military veterans” with “Muslims”, and all references to “abortion” with “universal health care”, and then predated this DHS report to 2008, during the Bush administration. They’d be screaming about being smeared as traitors for their political beliefs, and they’d be right to do so. That’s exactly what the Obama administration and Janet Napolitano has done here.

Double Standard – Transterrestrial Musings.

Where I found the link to the DHS Report:

Link to the DHS Report, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Environment Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”:

One of the offending portions:

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.  It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

What most are all a-flutter over:

rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority

Which is basically the 10th Amendment of the Constitution of The united States of America.

Constitution bad. Obama GOOOOOOD. Give me bailout now.

The Homeland Security directive is designed “to help police spot the tell-tale signs indicating potentially dangerous right wing extremism,” Mr. Delingpole points out. “They include: Being unimpressed by America’s first ‘African-American’ president; Objecting to tax hikes; Disliking big government; Talking concernedly about the state of the economy and job loss, especially in the manufacturing and construction sectors,” (and) “Opposition to abortion, gay marriage and gun control.

“No really, I’m not making this up. Here’s a representative paragraph:

“Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. …

One more time, FUCK YOU, OBAMA!

I wonder if Billy Townsend over at Lakeland Local thinks I should be designated a terrorist for believing in such right-wing extremist issues as the right to keep and bear arms, or not liking all the taxes being raised to fund the Wall Street bailouts and social programs that keep people suckling at the government teat? Maybe he thinks I deserve the extra scrutiny because I may be a threat to a Socialist way of life.  I like to think he’s smarter than that, but I can’t look into his mind and be sure.

Just to be clear, let’s go down the list:

1) Unimpressed with America’s first “African-American” President – I am not impressed that Obama is part black; I don’t agree with any hyphenated American designation, you’re either American or not American. The only acceptable use would be with dual-citizenship. And so what if Obama is part black? All these people who think they’re above race point out he’s black all the time; idiots, it’s not about race, it’s about his actions, and I think he sucks big-time. (Preemptive strike: Bush sucked, too; Politics is not an either-or scenario. Just because I don’t like Obama doesn’t mean I liked Bush, morons.)

2) Objecting to tax hikes – Hell yes I object to tax hikes. If you want to give our government(s) more of your money, go ahead, but don’t force me to do it, too.

3) Disliking big government – Hell yes I dislike big government. Big government stifles freedom, always has, always will.

4) Talking concernedly about the state of the economy and job loss, especially in the manufacturing and construction sectors – We should maintain our manufacturing base, it’s necessary for the stability of our economy, and there are many laws that prevent our manufacturing base from expanding, or even maintaining, its presence on American soil. Environmental laws often being the most galling, but wage laws contribute, and permitting laws can be onerous.

5) Opposition to abortion – While I’m personally against it, I don’t think anyone should be punished for killing their fetus.

6) Opposition to gay marriage – Nope, homo love is just as valid as hetero love. I object to special tax exemptions for married people, though. Making single people pay more in taxes is inherently unfair.

7) Opposition to gun control – Hell yes I oppose gun control. Every “reasonable” regulation snowballs into more and more regulation against lawful citizens in the hopes of curtailing some crazy nutbag in the future. I hear guns were sold in hardware stores back in the 60s (and earlier), no license was necessary to buy them, but no mass killings were going on, so obviously it’s not the easy availability of guns that causes crimes.

So I’m on Obama’s Department of Homeland Security list of evil terrorists for believing in rights that founded this country.  Fuck Obama for this bullshit, fuck Bush for making the DHS, and fuck anyone who doesn’t think for themselves.
