DEMS CALL POLITICAL OPPONENTS THREAT TO SECURITY
boblonsberry.com ^ | 04/15/09 | Bob Lonsberry

I am a rightwing extremist.

At least that’s what the new administration would call me.

In a sweeping nine-page document sent to state and local law-enforcement agencies last week, the federal government sounded the alarm against “rightwing extremists,” and called on law enforcement to join it in identifying and investigating people who fit a certain profile.

Like veterans.

And gun owners.

And people who believe in the Tenth Amendment.

In something from the Stalin side of Orwell, the new Democrat regime in Washington has identified those who disagree with it as potential threats to the state.

Put another way: The purge has begun.

Here are the specifics. On April 7, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis sent out an alert to American law enforcement. It identified “rightwing extremists” as a danger.

It then defined “rightwing extremists.”

They were people for whom one issue was very important – like opposing abortion, or opposing illegal immigration. It was also people who felt that the federal government was too powerful and that states’ rights should be respected.

Gun owners also came under fire.

“A correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation,” Homeland Security warned, “and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists.”

So, if you believe that the Democrats in Washington may pass laws limiting the availability of guns or ammunition, and you consequently buy guns or ammunition before they make it illegal to do so, you are a “rightwing extremist.”

Or my neighbor.

Or me.

Because I find that the Democrats’ profile of a potential threat to national security sounds amazingly like a Republican. And this bulletin sounds amazingly like the Democrats using the power of law enforcement to attack and suppress their political opponents.

The same party that complained when Homeland Security tapped the phone calls of foreign Muslim terrorists is now using Homeland Security to defame and investigate conservative American Republicans.

I can’t decide if that is more reminsicent of the Gestapo or the KGB. All I know is that it isn’t American.

Especially since it targets veterans.

Another personality type the brown shirts see as potential “rightwing extremists” – combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

That’s right. The men and women who volunteered to defend our country in a time of war, the ones who you and I welcome with open arms and parades, the thought police are suspicious of them.

I’m not sure what prejudice of the liberal mind it is that makes Democrats mistrust veterans, but it’s about to elevate the best among us to the watch list.

So I’m coming clean.

I want to save the Democrats the trouble of tapping my phone.

I am a veteran who is opposed to abortion and illegal immigration. I drive a four-wheel-drive American-made pick-up truck and it has an NRA sticker in the window. There’s also an American flag and a magnetic Army ribbon and a sticker from a private Christian college.

I’m as rightwing extremist as it gets.

And so are most of the people I know.

And it’s too bad the government has decided that we’re the enemy. It’s too bad the new president and his comrades in the Congress are trying to use the police as their political enforcers.

Speaking of the police, I’m surprised they weren’t included in the profile.

This report paints EVERY ASPECT OF CONSERVATISM as suspect and specific groups as a threat to national security! Specifically mentioned in the Report: homosexuality, abortion, military, gun control, immigration, border security, states rights, Christianity, Constitution.

What? Global warming deniers and limited government advocates not on the list?

When will they be issuing the addendum?

It ain’t just the universities. The “Public” government schools have thoroughly indoctrinated most of your children before they ever get to university.

If you really want to stop these fascist pigs in their tracks, educate your own children. And have LOTS of them! We will have this country back in a generation.

UPDATE: Fox's Judge Andrew Napolitano sounded the alarm----he reported the 12-page document under discussion here is an "excerpt" from a larger, more comprehensive, attack on "right-wingers."

The "excerpt" DHS sent to L/E was NOT supposed to be seen by the media---- and had specific instructions printed on it cautioning L/E NOT to show it to the media.

Judge Nap said any attempts by the government to "chill" the speech of the citiznery is blatantly unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment.

Judge Nap said we should all be very alarmed.

==============================================

Sap-happy Obama's actions are very interesting, as this gambit unfolds.

He's such a good boy----following Rahm's orders to a tee..... putting on the charm offensive----gladhanding and smiling at Georgetown----acting the good father, playing with the new dog ((while his admin is preparing to clamp down on the citizenry).

Watch goofball Gibbs at the next presser---his smile will be even brighter (on Rahm's orders).

JUST WONDERING Will Obama address the issue on his own, without prompting? Will the MSM call him on it?

This report paints EVERY ASPECT OF CONSERVATISM as suspect and specific groups as a threat to national security! Specifically mentioned in the Report: homosexuality, abortion, military, gun control, immigration, border security, states rights, Christianity, Constitution.

The Boy Wonder Rahm Emanuel has been busy. This initiative has the fingerprints of Obama's COS written all over it. .. .. On any list of those who are a threat to national security---Rahm Emanuel is at the very top.

Here's something interesting about that DHS 'Threat Assessment'. When you download the original .pdf copy - as I did - and click 'Files' then 'Properties' after opening. This is what it shows under 'Description'.....

So. The 'Original Version' was made Two Years Ago, when Bush was POTUS. But it was never released, issued, or distributed to local LEOs to warn them of those dangerous 'Right Wing Extremists'. aka: God Believing, Constitution Following, Pro-Life, Pro-Freedom, Conservative Americans. For two years it just sat in someone's 'desk drawer' (computer HD or USB Flash Drive), apparently not that important back in 2007. But, golly gee whiz. As soon as the Kenyan pretender-in-chief is (cough) 'elected', that *someone* at DHS digs this thing out, and revises it for immediate release to all local LEOs as a Top Priority 'Domestic Terrorist' warning.

I read all nine pages and whomever at DHS did this 'modifying', their 'modifications' would have included every EVERY PAGE, including the cover page. And the funny (sick funny) part is, that by all the definitions and warning signs given - the Bush Administration would be labeled and included as 'Right Wing Extremists'. This includes Dubya and Dick Cheney due to their pro life, pro gun stances. It would even include Justices Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito! Now that isn't even 'sick funny'.

So Barry better do something pdq and denounce this trash and fire whomever wrote it. But he should start by firing Janet Napolitano. She HAD to know about this thing's contents.

And I'm sure our buddy Rahm had his slimy fingers in it too. The R's in Congress should demand an investigation and get to the bottom of this and find out 'Who Knew What and When Did They Know It'.

Barry, his puppet master Rahm and all the moonbats are begging for *something* to happen. And the way they're going.... it will.

I had a friend whose wife was always accusing him of cheating - He Wasn't. One day he was so fed up he said if he was going to be accused anyway, he may as well do it, the result would be the same.
(but he never did)
you type waaaaay faster than I do :-)

Interesting research and comments. Thanks for sharing.

I agree that “Barry better do something pdq and denounce this trash and fire whomever wrote it” and distributed it.

Bush-era------means this is a creature of the figging neocons who controlled the Bush presidency. Looks like the worms crawled back to where the power is----with the Dems---their natural allies.

The punkneos worked their a**** off religiously cleansing the Repub party and marginalizing pro-lifers, secure borders types, and Constitution originalists.

The newly-released document rings a bell---since it comes down hard on all the groups neocons abhor.

Man, Obama's sex life must be improving as the pukeneos each take a turn under his desk.

The original had a post script added to it that put pro-lifers in it.

Do you have the date Hillary said this? I’ve been looking for the video online but can’t find it. I know Hannity played it on his show Thurs. or Fri.

I’m making small labels to put on teabags and would like to give credit to Her Thighness. A date would put more “oomph” in the quoate.

Fear is good. The typical leftist should become very afraid when their name appears on a list.

Keeping lists of leftist names should become an activity of all good right wingers
