Hopefully, I did this right. Went looking for the original document, but all I could find on the DHS.gov website was this.

"Let me be very clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don’t have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence.

We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not – nor will we ever – monitor ideology or political beliefs.

Well, if that were really the case, Mz. Napolitano, there would have been another pamphlet sent out with the one attacking "right wing" extremists, and it would have given equal concern and insult, to the left wing extremist groups (who really are violent, BTW). You know, Earth First, ACORN, ANSWER, Code Pink, WCW, RCP, New Black Panther Party, SDS, etc...

But since you didn't file a threat report on those groups, you are most certainly "monitoring idology and political beliefs". Busted.

my staff has already contacted him to set up a meeting next week once I return from travel. I will tell him face-to-face that we honor veterans at DHS and employ thousands across the department, up to and including the Deputy Secretary

Reminds me of a time in 1979, one of the fellow fighter pilots from Langley AFB wrote a letter to the editor complaining about the treatment of the fighter community. Two days later a Colonel from the Pentagon was there with a stack of overheads to give all the pilots an hour long briefing on how good we had it. Obviously we were mistaken.

I've been against this DHS from the get go. Now folks are getting wise to why I've held that point of view.

"Terrorist" was ambiguously defined on purpose to potentially include anyone. Same thing with the patriot act.

Anyone who opposes this administration is an extremist. Welcome to the USSA.

For 8 years all we heard from these s***-birds was: “Dissent is patriotic!”
But now, anyone voicing objection to infanticide or supporting the Bill of Rights is a potential terrorist?
BLOAT!

That document says that they are planning to ban guns, pass “Hate Speech” legislation, give amnesty and citizenship to the illegals, appease our enemies, downsize our military, and raise our taxes to the hilt.

Federalism = Extremism

“rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority”

"...we do not – nor will we ever – monitor ideology or political beliefs."

Why am I not getting the warm and fuzzies after reading that?

Of all the days for DHS to confirm their declaration that conservatives and veterans are to be presumed enemies of the country, they pick this one.

What a coincidence.

Has the report on “terrorist of the left” come out yet? I assume that will be out next week, right?
