What was the “War on Terror” is now called “Countering Violent Extremism,” and includes such dangerous potential “violent extremists” as our own military personnel who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Jihadists or our own veterans, they’re all classified as “persons who have sworn an oath to ‘support and defend,’ with weapons if necessary, an ideology.” Of course in the case of our veterans, the “ideology” they swore to “support and defend” was our own Constitution, “from all enemies, foreign and domestic.” But to Barack Obama and his fellow travelers, the Constitution is “extreme,” and the willingness to take up arms to defend it makes one “violent.”

There are a number of examples of their current focus that have slipped out these past 7 years. DHS, FBI, NSA, even the CIA. This ‘homegrown’ violent extremist focus by them is real, and it is their PRIORITY over all else IMO.
