Pentagon Labels Founding Fathers As Extremists
Ibvestoe;s Business Daily ^ | August 28, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Basic Rights: Once more, military training has become an Orwellian re-education camp where a radical transformation of the truth depicts the Founding Fathers as extremists and conservative groups as "hate groups."

Saying "Give me liberty or give me death" qualifies Patrick Henry as an extremist, according to the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute training guide which has been obtained by Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act Request.

And so the rest of those who took up arms against the British Crown and pledged their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor for a shot at liberty and democracy.

Under a section titled "Extremist Ideologies," the document states, "In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples."

We would not lump the two together necessarily, but the Pentagon does. And so, apparently, does a leftist group called the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

In April 2013, following a terrorist shooting at the Family Research Council (FRC) headquarters that occurred in August 2012, Judicial Watch filed multiple FOIA requests to determine what, if any, influence SPLC's branding of hate groups had on government agencies.

Sounds like a good portion of US citizens have turned into a bunch of pussies, maybe we should all just crawl back into the womb of history where we we can’t offend anybody.
NOT!!!

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

#30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

The pentagon should be renamed as pentagram. DC should be renamed as departments of corruption.

Any totalitarian-wannabe government would be very opposed to citizens supporting liberty and limited government.

That tells you who the people are behind this document.

It’s called “Relativism”.

Relativism creeps into our society from indoctrinated bureaucrats that need to find some meaning in their lives.

They make a series of small changes on internal memos and policies that only the politically incorrect would find objectionable.

I had a very liberal GF that actually changed the “official” description of her companies annual tradition, and “Secret Santa” became “Secret Snowman”.

This was a company that did close to a billion dollars a year in revenue.

These changes add up over time and this is the result.

Complete loss of objectivity.

If they were alive today, Paul Revere and Richard Dawes would have long since ridden through the countryside, raising the alarm. I doubt many would have gathered on Lexington Green the next morning, though.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I tuned up one of my neighbors at the kids bus stop this morning after he said their are extremist on both sides. Typical leftist spewing.I told him that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. You should have seen the look on his face. CLUELESS.

Public school scholars obviously wrote that book.

The Confederate states seceded from the North??? Um...no. Eleven Southern states seceded from the Union and then created and formed the Confederate States of America. When they seceded from the Union that meant seceding from the Union that included California and Oregon, and last time I looked at a map those were Western states, not Nothern states.

From that video: "Christians will cut your head off"

There was never a time in history this took place. The FEMA agent needs to make up fantasy in order to make his point.

"It will not be forgotten."

Waco was forgotten. For me, I will never forget how Government agents burned little children alive in a bus that was buried underground.
