.- According to a Homeland Security Report distributed to law enforcement organizations, abortion opponents are as great a threat to national security in the immediate future as white supremacists.
The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff's departments across the country on April 7 under the headline, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." The report is unclassified, but is accompanied by a warning that says it “contains information that may be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act.”
The report was prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch of the Department of Homeland Security and claims it was “coordinated with the FBI.”
“Rightwing extremists,” the document says, “have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.”
Nevertheless, according to the report, the combination of a prolonged economic downturn, the election of the first African American President and the return of many veterans with "combat skills" could create an environment similar to the early 90's, which lead to the Oklahoma City bombing.
The report describes "Rightwing extremism" broadly as “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.”
Under the title “Revisiting the 1990s,” the report claims that “paralleling the current national climate, rightwing extremists during the 1990s exploited a variety of social issues and political themes to increase group visibility and recruit new members.”
“Prominent among these themes were the militia movement’s opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as well as white supremacists’ longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage.”
The report “is provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States.”
yep, the rosary is our stealth weapon.......just ask the USSR!
Now that is very funny! How many of Obama's candidates have not paid taxes - especially his choice to head up the IRS!!!
Stay calm, Boonie. Place your trust in God, not the federal government.
When I was in 4th or 5th grade the priest stopped the prayers after Mass to scold those leaving early. He questioned the depth of their Faith as the prayers were for the conversion of Russia and would they be willing to be public Catholics if the communists were victorious. The problem now is that he meant Russian communists not American. We are now in very perilous times and my question is will all those federal agents with degrees from Fordham, BC,St. Joes etc remember their Faith and their loyalty to the Constitution?
Only if you're pro-life ;-)
nah, if you are a CINO, like JoeyB...tis all right...its the Papists they’re after....you know, the ones who actually BELIEVE in their faith...pro-abortion catholics need not worry.
So we are white supremacist racists for not wanting black babies to be killed.
Is there anyone involved with this administration who is NOT a complete imbecile?
Homeland Security is now considering returning Iraqi vets a threat. Since I am a returned Iraqi vet, a pro-life advocate, a believer in the Constitution and have a stong faith in God, then that would make me a very serious threat zero’s regime. God Help the USA!!
How about Raila Odinga?
Klonsky?
ACORN?
Boy and girls, the Left wants to kill us (not an alarmist) all...Conservatives of all stripes are the enemy.
Be ready.

More simply put, you are a domestic terrorist, a right wing extremist,
because you oppose the socialist agenda of those in power.
“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.”
There is no longer any doubt in my mind that we now have an evil tyrannical government.
Good.... use it and use it often!
I can understand how opposing abortion is part of Christian ideology, but how are opposing federal taxes and illegal immigration based on Christian ideology? I don’t get it! Aren’t those, oh, I don’t know...more of a political thing?... Isn’t it wanting what’s actually better for the country?...
So does this mean the bishops who have spoken out against Obama being honored at Notre Dame are now considered “extremists”?
God bless you for your service.... and thank you!!!
Doesn’t matter to them. Liberals do not live in reality.
This may just be an excuse to do what they’ve wanted to do all along - use the force of government against Christians.
The people who wrote “Ms” magazine are now running our country.
I’m pretty sure that I died and went to hell.
So many lies... so little time...
