Homeland Security Warns Right Wing Extremists Are An Equal Or Greater Threat Than ISIS
Politicsusa ^

Posted on 02/20/2015 6:00:32 PM PST by Red in Blue PA

A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.

Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.”

Anyone who is comfortable with the word “homeland” is a greater threat to America than any of these boogeymen.

Homeland Security should read the Communist Manifesto and Rules for Radicals...

The leaders of Homeland Security are quite familiar with the Communist Manifesto and Rules for Radicals. They are the Progressives (aka Communists) whose ultimate desire is to overthrow our government an our way of life.

Questions: What is their definition of a right-wing extremist? Is it someone who tells the truth that islam is a deadly violent criminal theocratic ideology? Is it someone who says they will not submit to mohammedan domination?

Funny the article states that that it came from a Southern Poverty Law Center report that states that its sources are as follows:

“The study, which included violence from both the radical right and homegrown jihadists, also found that a domestic terrorist attack or foiled attack occurred, on average, every 34 days. It covered a period between April 1, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2015, and was based on records maintained by Indiana State University and the University of Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database, along with the SPLC’s own roster of apparent domestic terror incidents.”

The findings are flawed. Why? For one, the data from the University of Maryland The Global Terrorism Database only goes to 2013, not 2015...: )

Reminds me of the leftist knee-jerk response for every instance of domestic terrorism: Tim McVeigh! (As if he represented any serious, legitimate conservative organization.)

No idea here. I still can't find one example of this Right Wing Extremism accusation.
Maybe the MSM would ask them to clarify a factual example without lying.

Anyone that claims they love America have to ask what would the country look like if the bad guys, cryptically took over?

Who would they call “the bad guys”?

It seems to me they are targeting traditional Americans or the patriots? Those that love the United State, who love freedom, the military, the veterans, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Founding Fathers, mom, baseball and apple pie.

This is even though on record, FBI Crime reports, as a community have the lowest percentage in a demographic crime record, statistically speaking, of criminals.

Keep in mind too overall violent crime in the United states, according to the FBI crime report, is at 20 year low.

Yet some how, some way this group of people, that disagree with this Administration, are being in a communist fashion labeled the number 1 threat and not radical Islam that terrorize the public on a daily basis?

So again it begs the question what would the country look like if the bad guys, cryptically took over?

Just saying.....

BTW, one of the hallmarks of a strong and a Free Republic is vigorous debate. Only in an Authoritarian control freak worlds do they attempt to suppress free speech. This is because ideas are bullet proof. You cannot get rid of an idea once it has been spoken, and if you can’t win the debate in the arcana of ideas, then your only hope is to suppress debate by calling it political correctness and hate.

In odd way these this may be a good thing overall for the United States, because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Humanity only grows through adversity and a relationship with our Lord our Savior Jesus Christ. Just saying....

When’s Obama going to tell us that American patriots have legitimate grievances? I say never because Obama is a crypto-muslin d-bag.

I am beginning to think instead of calling the media the msm they should be called the extremist media.

Jeh Johnson has been nothing more than a useful idiot for 0bama (illegal amnesty). Now, once again, he’s serving his master by issuing a report that focuses on an imaginary domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists to deflect attention away from the very real radical islamist threat.

Sure we are. Conservatives demand the government operate within its Constitutional restraints while the Dems and RINOs don’t.

Solution: Congress defunds the DHS until their attitude improves. Better, disestablish the DHS and replace it with NOTHING. Put the useful departments into other agencies.

I haven’t beheaded or set anyone on fire. Just being RWC qualifies me though.

This just validates what everyone says about Obama.

Obama who started his political career with a terrorist name Bill Ayers, who attended a church on the Sunday rught after September 11th where over 3000 people died that said G.D. America. This coming from a man that said that he promised he was going to transform America. Does that sound like love to you?

Now he is politicizing DHS against the patriots, those that love the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independenc and the Founding Fathers.

This even though on the record, FBI crime stats, are the lowest to commit any type of crime statistically as a group and when the country is at a 30 year low in crime.

DHS is being told to ignore the real threat of radical Islam and instead go after the Administration political enemies. B

My bet is many people who joined DHS did it because they were patriots and wanted to help defend our country after 911. Now it seems like the Administration is siding with radical Islam and politicizing and using DHS to attack people that politically disagree with him.

Nothing could be more unAmerican than attacking someone for their freedom of speech. It is what we see in North Korea, Communist Cuba, Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. ONLY these type of people would be for this.
