I want to report myself as being a suspicious person because I’m suspicious of communists, liberals, the Obama administration and the state-run media.

In 2010, according to Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano, DHS now considers a 72-point list of triggers for “domestic terror suspects”.

I myself had 47 hits on the list.

Where do YOU rank?

[Psalm 144]

Don’t know. Got a link, Sarge?

Time for Guy Fawkes masks.

If Hussein decrees that the watch list will be used to deny gun ownership to people then we will find ourselves on watchlists and probably not allowed to fly. The watchlists will then be used as the rationale to selectively SWAT some of our homes for guns. If they keep up a small scale but constant drumbeat of these seizures and arrests it won’t be enough to resist effectively but will be enough to cause some people to dump their weapons, some to hide them off-site, and many more to acquire weapons privately. The scale of the confiscations will be gradually increased until people start shÆ¡ting back and they will find that people are modifying their weapons for more effective crowd and SWAT control.

I got it buried someplace, I’ll pong you when I find it...

[Psalm 144]

Thanks! I’m kind of curious, and expect to weigh in nicely.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Could you pong us all when you find it, Sarge? Thanks.

Was Tashfeen Malik on the terror watch list? No.

I couldn't find the strip of Mole deciding to put himself on his list for suspecting himself, so have this related strip instead:

[gnarledmaw]

62, did I pass?

[Hot Tabasco]

How does it feel to have a niece who is a major crime figure?

Well the good news is that she stopped smoking cigars........

[Old Sarge]

Flying colors - so long as those colors are the Gadsden flag...

[equaviator]

It’s the use of the word “suspicious”. Report any suspicious person or activity...

I’m a person with my suspicions. Does that also make me a “suspicious person”?

[1_Rain_Drop]

#70. Yikes! Not only do I have a flag, but I have also painted the Gadsden flag on my garage.

Only thing missing on that list is
Anyone who does not like brussel sprouts.

Doesn’t that list affect 99% of the American population?

[Gasshog]

We need our OWN lists. They who would take our freedoms are mere flesh and blood, they have homes and families.

The elite will not emerge unscathed if they disturb the hornet’s nest
