Federal authorities today urged law enforcement across the country to be alert for possible attacks inside the United States in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic group ISIS.

In a joint bulletin issued to local, state and federal law enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security and FBI said that while they are “unaware of any specific, credible threats against the Homeland” and find direct threats from ISIS “not credible,” they cannot rule out attacks in the United States from sympathizers radicalized by the group’s online propaganda.

“[B]ecause of the individualized nature of the radicalization process – it is difficult to predict triggers that will contribute to [homegrown violent extremists] attempting acts of violence,” the bulletin states. Moreover, such lone offenders “present law enforcement with limited opportunities to detect and disrupt plots, which frequently involve simple plotting against targets of opportunity,” according to the bulletin.

Here’s an idea

Fond up all Muslims and deport then, and outlaw Islam in the USA

The only way the central government can truly save us from this imminent threat is to confiscate all firearms in the hands of middle aged married Christian men.

Just wait... Homeland Security will tell us the reason IsIS is in the US is because of Conservatives and guns.

So, as a constitution loving conservative Army vet with a Bible and black guns, do I need to worry?

This afternoon:
Homeland Warns of ISIS Retaliation in US by Sympathizers

This morning;
Pentagon: No evidence of ISIS at border

Yesterday:
State Department - ISIS doesn't represent any religion

----

To recap, ISIS doesn't represent Islam and they aren't here, but their sympathizers may attack us anyway.

Our government has become dangerously stupid.

My take is that the threat is getting so dangerous that even the wussies that zippy has in place are starting to get nervous. This gubmet, this military (what’s left of it), this pentagon, the state department is so full of muxxies, the borders have been wide open welcoming them and the M-13 gangs, PLUS we’re reading now that the M-13 gangs are joining forces with muxxies. All of these horrid circumstances zippy and valjar, huma weinie, et al have put in place IMHO are EXACTLY what they want. All part of their plan to totally ruin the USA. What say you?

I thought “homeland security” was supposed to protect us from this crap. Oh, I forgot...they are too busy focusing on Veterans, TEA Party members and other Patriots. I guess they really mean “You’re on your own”. These homeland security bums are just that...incompetent govt “worker” bums.

A reasonable conclusion, which is fairly close to my own:

Between Ebola and ISIS our government wants to terrify the wussified populace to the point they will actually scream for martial law.
