Holder: Homegrown Terror Threat Increasing
ABC News ^ | July 29, 2009 | PIERRE THOMAS, JASON RYAN and THERESA COOK

Posted on 07/30/2009 5:30:57 AM PDT by correctthought

Attorney General Eric Holder told ABC News in an exclusive interview today that he is increasingly concerned about Americans becoming radicalized and turning to terrorism.

.....

Holder quotes:

"I mean, that's one of the things that's particularly troubling: This whole notion of radicalization of Americans,"

.....

"Leaving this country and going to different parts of the world and then coming back, all, again, in aim of doing harm to the American people, is a great concern."

We both know why they hate individual gun ownership—and they know also. It’s the last defense against their power-grabbing that prevents them from running their Utopian Dictatorship complete with trains to the gas chambers for all who don’t hold their ideology.

No use debating with your inlaw—her mind is made up and the truth will smack her in the face eventually. Next time she visits just break out your gun collection and re-oil them in front of her for added effect.

No, no debating my “benchmark”. That’s why she IS my benchmark.
It’s funny, though, that she doesn’t have much opinion on guns per se. She asked me one time if I owned an “assault rifle”. I turned around and asked her to define what that meant to her. Her vague definition was that of a “machine gun”. I told her that almost no one owns one of those, and that she was being intentionally led to believe that that was what the debate was about.

She asked why? I said, they’re intentionally lying to you. Ask yourself why.

He’s making it up...there’s no such thing as terrorists or terror.

Setting the stage for Olabba’s private army. Probably going to deputize ACORN.

No, he’s just covertly reiterating the administrations stance behind the homeland report that classifies “disgruntled military vets as potential terrorists.”

When Rahm writes a dead fish interview prep, and it smells like it, then it probably is!

AG Holder should be ashamed of this brazen attempt to link Patriots with Jihadists. It’s obvious that the Soetoro administration will go after white Patriots who exercise their 2a rights than foreign Jihadists.

Target picked, personalized, polarized.

Congratulations, everyone.

You’ve been Alinskyed.

Yeah. You are right.

Or Holder is referring to pro-life Catholics who travel to Italy to visit the Vatican. Or the dangerous Christian grandmothers who take a tour of the Holy Land.

I did not read the detailed comments. So I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

Patriots are more of a “threat” to the power of statists than jihadists are. The latter just seek to tear down America as a whole, especially those with traditional American values (which happen to be the same enemies that the statists have).

Exactly.. it is the statist mentality that if you are not OF the State then you are against it. Sort of like the Star Trek episode about... “Landrew...help us...” an all powerful mind controlling computer that ruled a whole planet. Of course Orwell said it best.... not is the time for “15 minutes of hate”

He is talking about much more... the code word is “home grown terror” about which see Janet Napolitano as to the correct “risk groups” to be on the lookout for... those with the most propensity, etc.

Second observation. Patrick Leaky (aka Leaky Leahy who was removed from the Senate Intel Committee because he could not keep his mouth shut) comparing Holder to Bobby Kennedy.. is just plain revolting. Bobby Kennedy and JFK and the whole pro Nazi Kennedy criminal operation were part of a package. It is arguable that Bobby set in motion JFKs demise—unintentionally of course. And... the whole crew of them are stupid beyond measure.
Gonzales “operated (DOJ) as an arm of the White House”... IT IS and arm of the White House... the Executive Branch- Leahy is and IDIOT!!
“Leahy was highly critical of one of Holder’s predecessors, Alberto Gonzales, who resigned under fire for allowing political ideology infiltrate the Justice Department. Gonzales had long been a friend and ally of George W. Bush, and critics said Gonzales operated the department as an arm of the White House.

Leahy acknowledged Holder’s close ties to President Obama, but said his approach to the department is more in line with that of Robert Kennedy, who served in his brother John F. Kennedy’s Cabinet. Recalling a time when he met Attorney General Kennedy, Leahy said he was struck by his independence from the White House. “

Start now. Always in threes, or better, in twos. You are correct.

“...She asked why?...”

MrB:
Sorry to jump in, but the question in the comment above struck me as typical of “normal” libs - they (meaning clueless libs - the kind that are NOT hardcore marxists, but simply those folks who don’t/can’t sort through the fog and have been brainwashed by daily doses of politically-correct nonsense) can’t understand how other “Americans” could or would want to do anything like take over the country.

I’ve come to realize that, either because of inadequate education (deliberate dumbing down), a lack of basic understanding of human nature, the daily indoctrination of worrying about we “feel” about things instead of “thinking through” things, and the basic trust that we have as Americans, or a combination of all the above, a large proportion of the American population simply cannot conceive of ANYONE from within wanting to do harm to the country. Gee, least of all not a good, pure, wholesome Democrat - after all, “they’re for us, the Little Guy”...not like those “awful Republicans who are only out for the RICH!...”

I’ve heard this so many times I’ve lost count - and from middle aged folks, old folks, 20-somethings, etc.. folks that should know better by now simply from observation. Hell, just the fact that people joke about “political correctness” - a term that Mao used to KILL people whose thinking wasn’t “politically mature” - shows the ignorance of just we’re up against here. Same with “progressive” - the socialists call themselves something different whenever they start getting found out.

Witness the election; in spite of ample warnings out here on the internet and on talk radio of who this clown and his socialist fellow travelers really are, a large chunk of the population ignored it and pulled the lever (leaving aside the obvious well-documented and typical Democrat vote fraud that comes with every single close election). Folks that buy CBS/ABC/NBC/CNN as gospel because they’re too ignorant or lazy to try to get both sides of an issue, or haven’t been taught how to recognize bullsh*t when they smell it.

Basically, people don’t believe that others are capable of betraying the country because THEY THEMSELVES wouldn’t do it. So we out here look like the “conspiracy nuts” (even though, with a few minutes’ research on the internet, you can find AMPLE historical evidence to support the truth of the matter) due to the nature of the short attention span of folks, the complicity of the media, and the fact that the minute anyone objects to what these people are doing, the other side screams “racist!” to shut down the debate. Middle America has been taught to abhor the very thought of being called a racist, even though the real racists are on the other side of the debate.

In this country, most folks like to give others the benefit of the doubt; and a large percentage of the people that voted for this communist clown are now starting to wake up to the fact that what they actually bought was not actually what was on the label of the package when it was being sold to them.

Hopefully it’s not too late. But history is most definitely our guide; when these b*stards get control of a country it’s almost always disastrous, bloody, and ends badly.

I have verified, through study and polling,

that it does indeed stem from a lack of basic understanding of human nature.
The reason that this misunderstanding is held onto so tightly is that if it falls, all the other things they believe in fall as well.
They usually have some things in their past that can’t allow the failure of the worldview that they’ve built up to protect themselves.

That basic misunderstanding is summed up as “I believe all people are basically good”.
This is the source of all ideological error.
The opposing view is biblical, and is therefore often rejected out of hand.

“..“I believe all people are basically good”...”

Spot-on. That is the core of their thought in a nutshell.
