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.

Ernst Roehm, besides the national commander of the SA / "Brown Shirts", was a sadistic homosexual pederast who used the Hitler Youth as his personal seraglio, as did all the (unanimously perverted) SA staff.

Napolitano would have to go quite a ways to meet that standard of kink, I think.

First there was Fisher shooting people, and then a left wing "hate Bush" wacko flying a plane into a building. The leftists are going nuts!
If she wants to know what the problem is, it's leftism. Vote them all out and stop the madness!

“analyze the factors that make a young person, raised in the U.S., migrate to extremist beliefs and actions.”

Like the ones who would vote in a Radical Marxist as POTUS?

I’ve often wondered that myself.

Bush wasn’t interested in putting criminal politicians in jail.....

Best theory/reason why that I have heard:

Bush reasoned that taking Clinon and other malefactors of great pelf to court would have been turned into a circus by Slick, in order to paralyze and destroy the Bush Administration before it could get underway.

Could be. Probably didn’t want to spend his political capital on prosecuting the clintonistas. The administration after the great zero will probably be too busy fixing all of his f%$kups to worry about locking them up.

Oh I think you're right. I view Janet Incompetentano as just a biggie-sized version of Janet Reno, i.e., + 150 lbs or so.

"WHAT GOOD CAN A HANDGUN DO AGAINST AN ARMY.....?"

I have this debate every single year with my high school Government classes. Sometimes I give them the long version as can be found in the site given here. Sometimes I give them the doctrine I was taught to me by my friends in special forces (I was but a lowly straight leg infantry lieutenant and later a tank officer -- but I had some BAD A$$ED buddies!)

It's called "TRADE UP." If I have a rock or a knife, I can GET a handgun. If I have a handgun I can GET a rifle. If I have a rifle I can GET something BELT FED. Or a TANK or several of each. In such ways are armies equipped. Live off the enemy for food, weapons and other supplies.

Although you would not know it by the excerpt posted at MyWay, Napolitano was talking about domestic islamic extremism and terrorism.

Here is the complete article:

WaPo: Homeland chief: Domestic extremism is top concern

It is scary that she professes to not know what the problem's root cause is, though.

We who are God, guns & guts people are being marginalized all the time by the establishment Republicans (RINOs) even amongst those who disagree but are too cowardly to do anything but go-along, get-along with 'rats and libs & other destroyers of America. The establishment crowd is a big one and since GHW was in office has worked diligently to isolate us from the Republican party. GHWBush & later his son were CINOs and shared the same outlook on "GGG" folk as John McCain: "f*****g conservatives", and "forget Reagan", and "why would I want to be the leader of these "ass&oles."

Know your enemy.

“That’s what I predicted for the clintoon gang.”

I hope that at I don’t follow you down the road to failure.:-)

Just relegating them to the dustbin of history will have to be enough. Apologies to whomever I misquoted.

The Unibomber — flaming leftist.

The IRS kamakazi — flaming leftist.

Alec Baldwin — flaming leftist. [”Stone Henry Hyde’s family.”]

Eric Holder — flaming leftist. [Letting nightstick panthers off the hook.]

Dick Cheney — bad hunter. [Just trying to be fair.]

Gordon Brown — class warfare leftist, terrifies Downing Street.

Bill Clinton — pardoned bomb terrorists, “moderate” leftist.

Obama — friend of bomb terrorist, flaming leftist.

Sheets Byrd — senior democrat, former terrorist recruiter.

Hm ....

OK, we should be willing to put Cheney on the watch list if we also include all democrats and Gordon Brown.

I always had my suspicions about democrats and terrorists, but the Ayers-Obama connection made it official for me: the DNC is the Terrorism Party.

And let us not forget Cynthia McKinney begging money from Saudi prince, Abdullah, after Mayor Giuliani told her to take a hike.

Hmmm .... they should tracer her mail to locate terrorists.

Thanks for the ping. Yes, that’s a good list. I was hoping someone would make a list of leftist violence. I don’t know if I’d call Cheney a bad hunter though. We don’t know that he didn’t get any birds. ;^)
