Homeland Security-Funded Study Lists People ‘Reverent of Individual Liberty’ as Terrorists

[Errant]

Are you “reverent of individual liberty?“ Are you ”suspicious of centralized federal authority?“ Do you think there is a ”grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty?”

Well, then you fall into the category of “extreme right-wing” terrorist, according to a new study out of the University of Maryland, which was funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security.

Words fail me.

Sign me up, just make sure you spell my name right.

Are you American?

“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.” has never been so true.

[Pontiac]

the study lumps religious terrorist groups into one category and describes them as “groups that seen to smite the purported enemies of God and other evildoers, impose strict religious tenants or laws on society (fundamentalists), forcibly insert religion into the political sphere.”

Where have these “scholars” been going to school? Maybe a squirrel cage? Have they never had a world history course? An ancient history course maybe? Ever studied the great ancient civilizations? Ever heard of the Holy Roman Empire?

Religion has been part of the Political Sphere since the BEFORE the beginning of history.

Considering resent history and the ascendance of Radical Islam I don’t see that line of history ending any time soon.

these effers better pray to God that we don’t take the senate away from them this year.

The DHS is becoming the monster its opponents thought it would become. It is the America version of the KGB. It needs to be disbanded.

There were plenty of FReepers who predicted exactly what is happening now, back when Bush and the liberal Republicans in Congress began pushing for the DHS and the PATRIOT Act. Plenty of them were saying you can't trust Bush with this and you damn sure can't trust a liberal, and here we are. Bush expanded it a lot then helped turn it over to a liberal.

AND further more, before any of Big Sis's Jack-Booted-Thugs, think about paying me a visit simply because I am a Veteran, Patriot, Conservative who loves his country; reveres our Constitution; supports our right to keep and bear arms; and the oath I took almost 50 years ago when I enlisted ("I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.....So help me God.") was for as long as I lived and defending it I will....

...to include any person or organization (such as our FASCIST, Neo-Commie, Islamist-supporting, Dear Leader or his lackeys in the Dept of Homeland [IN]Security....

....you will find a sign like this on my abode:

Mohammed Hasan (nom de guerre not yet known)
is head of the DHS Division enforcing this.

[Hardraade]

The idjits have been doing this for many years, even before DHS was set up. Being fed vy the left, who of course never give up. Like these guys:

Nasty, nasty pieces of work pushing what federal buttons they can.

I argue with teachers nearly every day. What I tell them is the simple truth about government throughout history. They call me controversial.

It’s only controversial because the education establishment is a Leftwing echo chamber. They only have their own facts and view the world through that lens. Someone who loves America in their eyes, loves a country that is racist, bigoted, imperious, murderous and callous.

That’s what they know. It is what they teach and it is what our young people are learning.

[1010RD]

Correct. Every law is based on some moral precept or the absence of one. Nazi law was based on their moral outlook.

[BenLurkin]

“Right-wing” means Nazi -— how could someone who cherishes individual rights be a “Right-wing”?

[mo]

Wait a minute....I thought “ dissent was patriotic”?

[justa-hairyape]

But occupying a town square or city park, refusing to leave, disrupting business, creating mountains of trash and damaging the facilities, makes you a proper citizen ?

What if the next terrorists disguise themselves as occupiers ? Who will stop them ?

[Wurlitzer]

Based upon another distortion of our language by left wing wordsmiths I am a terrorist.

Yes if you believe in killing babies, I am a terrorist.

If you believe the founders belief in limited government is wrong then I am a terrorist to your beliefs.

If you believe the founders were wrong yet somehow created the most powerful, productive, creative, country on earth (until the leftist scum gained control), then you better believe I am a terrorist to your insane beliefs.

Come and get me! You democrats, progressive, communists are nothing but leftist scum of the earth led by a Marxist POS who if he did not have dark skin would be laughed out of the White Hut. I hope to live long enough to read everyone of your obituaries (result of natural causes).

Newsflash, according to Obama now celebrating Independence Day will be an act of sedition.

If you display any act of making noises, displaying patriotic flags, attend parades or even taking a day off from the workers paradise will get you a chek mark in the super computers as a terrorist.

Am I inventing drivel to infuriate people?

Depends on your definition of liberty.

Perfect question you pose.

The answer is: Public schools infested with union communist scum teachers.

They have been following the communist manifesto to the letter, deconstructing everything the founders created and even destroying the founders themselves.

Once the public school commies dismantled our foundation it was a slam dunk to distort what is right or wrong about this country.

Even when current history shows a 100% failure rate of big government, central planning, dependent citizens, the public schools, followed my all too many communist professors have been able to convince our youth government is the source of all good and the private sector is to be avoided or destroyed at all costs.

Outside of secession, the only solution to bring this country back to greatness will be a long road starting with elimination of the current public school system and at bare minimum, vouchers for private competitive schools. It will take generations before we can flush this communist mentality out of the collective mindset.

And we're going to sit around and complain about it. When the DHS was formed under Bush and we're ready to nominate another more liftist republican than Bush by nominating Romney and yet we'll all sit around and play the game and just “go with the flow.”

We had a chance to nominate a moral person to the office.

But we, here on FreeRepublic, decided to back an immoral person instead...knowing all too well he would never receive the nomination...but boy he sure did sound smart up there huh?!
