This DHS “Right-Wing Extremism” report is not just a travesty against our nation’s combat veterans. The even bigger issue here is the labeling of American citizens who do not agree with the current administration’s agenda for this country as “rightwing extremists” and thus potentially carrying out oppressive activities against these individuals with the apparent goal of silencing the opposition - men and women like you and me who believe in:
Capitalism and free enterprise
Legal immigration with full enforcement of our immigration laws
Protection of our civil liberties under the Bill of Rights: right to freespeech, right to bear arms - both currently under attack.
Curtailment of big government spending and social programs
Work ethic and productivity rather than suffocating taxation paying for government bailouts and handouts that cater to America’s entitlement culture
Marriage defined as the union between one man and one woman.
Is this not an injustice? It seems the Obama administration doesn’t have enough confidence in the merits of its policies and must thus employ these kinds of oppressive tactics to seemingly silence the opposition. There are those who use America for their own gain and then there are those who truly love America and want to protect and sustain her for future generations. They’re going to call those of us who love America and who are trying to preserve America’s individuality and greatness ”rightwing extremists” to give themselves the right to persecute us.

this is a great post and I think that because that memo was pointed enough to mention Veterans, these guys should get off their collective a$$es and take DC by storm, phone, fax,mail and street protests. Veterans are the group of choice to voice dissatisfaction. NOBODY should mess with our VETS. This is a National Travesty.
Right-Wing Extremists????
Thats Me! (or thats what they’d have you believe)
Whatever....I’ll play their games if that’s what they want to do.
Go back to the ‘02 threads when DHS was set up and read the comments of the civil libertarians. Looks like the “tinfoil hat” fears have been validated.
As a capitalism-promoting, right-wing extremist, I should imagine the market is waiting for the first “Proud Right-Wing Extremist” bumper stickers.
The politics of character assassination gone mainstream into Federal agencies.
I AM
The freedom loving, pro-life, God fearing,
Constitution supporting veteran and Patriot
That Homeland Security warned you about!
You're too late. I saw them at a gun show today, and bought a sticker and a t-shirt.

I have no business links to this, but I got to meet the owner at the gun show, and liked what I saw.
