According to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas fits the Department's profile of potential domestic terrorism described in their newly released report titled, " Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment".
Islamic extremists' acts of domestic terrorism were recently given the dignity, by Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and President Obama, of being classified as man-made disasters, and abroad, the "war on terror" has been reclassified as an "overseas contingency plan". But an entire non-Islamic class, or perhaps by extension entire states, according to the report, are not afforded such considerate and cordial titles if they are anti-abortion, tend to harbor returning soldiers stationed in the Middle East, aid and abet the reintegration of military personnel into civilian life within their borders, are anti-illegal immigration, are anti-gun control, possess Christian views, are against high taxes, and are opposed to the overreaching power of the federal government. They fit the assessment of "extremists" that was
"provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks"
It is the opposition of the "overreaching power of the federal government" that may have sealed Texas's fate as a terror state.

And we'll kick their a$$ again!
If Texas causes Obama any more trouble, he’s liable to raise the stakes and call them “right wing contingency planners.” Watch out!
I love banana pudding!!
Don’t forget the people that cling to guns and religion. We’re ready. Are they in Texas?
(U) 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.
So, if I reject Federal authority in favor of state authority and oppose abortion, then by DHS definition I must be a right wing extremist. Later in the document the authors make the distinction between “right wing extremists” and “law abiding citizens”. The distinction seems intent on presupposing that right wing extremist - those who believe states have primacy over the feds and those who oppose abortion - are not law-abiding. I suppose the opposite of being law abiding is to be law breaking, thus a criminal.
A smarmy opinion piece bereft of documented sources, other than a vague reference to a 2007 study in Germany. It also refers to an unnamed “civil rights” organization that is concerned.
A shoddy opinion piece that merits a C- in a 100-level college writing course.
Your tax dollars at work.
You'll need them thar boots. We got cactus, fahr aintz, field mice bigger'n buffalo, cow patties ev'rwhere, an did ah' mention the fahr aintz? ;-)
Oh Geez....
1) We shouldn't secure our borders or make sure that only legal citizens get jobs, instead we should go after businesses that "exploit" illegals (oh, I mean "undocumented workers").
2) "Show me a 50 foot fence, and I'll show you a 51 foot ladder." (Right, I recommend landmines myself.)
3) Guns are bad..that is unless my agents are the ones who have them.
4) Islamic terrorists aren't a problem, it's those "right wing radicals".
5) The Constitution is a "living document" (meaning that it can be brushed aside when convenient).
Napolitano in particular, and this administration in general, are national embarrassments that should be removed as soon as possible.
GOP 2010!
I’m all for Texas seceding. We just need to make more noise to our leaders and get it done. I know it will be hard but I am a Texan first and want freedom!
Why thank you very much. Proud to be a Texan.
LOL
funny
I’ll take my chances with the “fahr aintz”-they can’t bite any worse than the liberals in Madison, WI>
5th Generation Texan here .... I'll stand with my tribe ... HiTek RedNek ;)
Enemies of 0bama = Enemies of the state
Including Veterans and those that want The Constitution upheld.
Perhaps they all belong to the same “club”.
Keep this up and I might have to reconsider not voting for Perry next time.
Who doesn't?!?
I live in Wisconsin, too, and was thinking the same thing. My husband was driving across the state today and was pondering the number of jobs that have left since Doyle took office, another three hundred today. My kids all live in different states. All of them were in the very top of their high school classes....and did go to college and graduate schools out of state.... they are examples of the real brain drain in this state. One of them lived here briefly, but moved for a better job.
Get ready fellow Texans, because they'll start here.
Send one of them thar libr'uls down hyar. We'll sit him on a fahr aint hill an' see who bites who worstest;-)
