WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists who are U.S. citizens or live in the country legally and plot against the U.S. are just as big of a concern as international terrorists.
She says that when she started as secretary a year ago, the focus was largely on international terrorists who want to harm U.S. interests. But in the past year, more of the violent extremism that has been seen overseas is showing up in the U.S.
She says officials need to drill down and analyze the factors that make a young person, raised in the U.S., migrate to extremist beliefs and actions.
Napolitano was speaking to governors who are in Washington for their annual conference.

I've got a bad feeling about this... When I read this short news item a tingle went down my spine, and not in a good way. The first thing that went through my mind was this could lead to infringements of freedom of speech, rallies, etc. Am I putting on my tin foil hat prematurely, or does anyone else feel suspicious of this?

If she’s looking for domestic extremists, she could try 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or the Office of Speaker of the House.

So she's clamping down on Harvard PhD's like Amy Bishop, then?

Napolitano needs to STFU. She destroyed Arizona just as her boss is trying to do to America. You want “domestic terrorism”? Napolitano and Obama are both domestic terrorists.

A history of the left shows that once they get into power, one of their first moves is to crush the voice (and sometimes the lives) of the opposition. The problem for the American left is that power is diffused throughout society, we have a long tradition of individual freedom, and lots of people own guns, so they’ll have to tread carefully.
But in answer to your question - a healthy lack of trust when dealing with the left is a good survival skill.

I’ll bet that she has Bishop’s gun in mind. Nevermind about Amy, PMS is sure to be blamed or maybe her brother abused her

“Shes greasing the skids for the obamaites to start arresting conservatives and others who badmouth the govt for being terrorists.”
When you start greasing skids you never know where you may end up.
I predict a Federal Prison for a lot of the O administration. They take the Constitution entirely too lightly.

Why are they so worried about this?? Afraid that the citizens of the United States will take the constitution seriously??? I think I smell something nasty.

BS! She started labeling anyone who defied the socialist agenda as right wing extremists shortly after taking office.

I read the entire article but didn't see the word "Muslim" anyplace.
Did I miss something?
Or did Janet?

Clinton redux. This is all about silencing your political opposition. Neapolitano has already shown her hand.
