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.
One of mine simply says: DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC
I'm not asking them, I'm telling them! Lord knows I heard it enough the last 8 years.
Same here. I served my country, I protect my family, and I believe that the framers of these United States did a damn good job. Yeah, i guess i am in trouble, too.
When our country was attacked on 9/11, the conclusion was that our enemies were at war with us - they actually told us so - and we weren’t at war with them.
Parallels, anyone? Has the left declared physical, not just political, war on conservatives?
This is typical of leftists/collectivists historically - they KILL any opposition. Watch for them to start “stepping it up”.
..or the crime of all crimes. Defending Life.
I call dems threat to America’s freedoms and constitutional republic and the worst sort of fools that walk the face of the earth.
Ignorant,proud,arrogant,stupid communists,liars,thieves and perverts.
I certainly wish that the Turner Diaries wasn’t so [actually] racist and anti-semitic,
because it is PRESCIENT when describing the actions of the American government going tyrannical.
I recommend reading it, and have a good “brain filter” on for the blatant nasty racism in it.

So we are in day 8 of the Republican purge and not one Republican politician has come forth and asked for Nepolitano’s head.
This is sedition by leftwing elements in our country. They should be arrested and brought up on charges of treason.
add quotes + Hillary Clinton
Don't worry. If history is to be our guide, armbands and tattoos will be mandated shortly.
This government needs a certain number of tax slaves in order to stay in power. Without the slaves, they lose the ability to buy their votes here and around the globe.
Right now, the slaves are finally noticing they're being used as slaves. Things are changing for the better. The control freaks in Washington are losing control. They know they have but little time and they're desperately trying to maintain their power.
The answer is not a violent rebellion. That's what they want. Martial law would be the crises they need to for total totalitarianism. Instead, back off and refuse to feed this beast. Let it squirm. Let it starve.
People can live without the government, but the government cannot live without the people.
"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds."
"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."
Napolitano didn’t form this policy in a vacuum.
This has 0bama’s imprimatur.
Wow! We’ve never done that to Democrats have we? Well the government DHS didn’t. Of course it hasn’t been in existence that long.
yellow stars sewn on our clothing?
I called my Congressman yesterday to inform him that, according to Homeland Security, he’s a Rightwing Extremist. His senior staffer pulled up the 9-page report on her PC and she wasn’t impressed nor happy about it.
Who is John Galt?
Exactly. Social unrest is what they want. They'll feed off it.
The object is to stop sending money - any money at all - to the politicians as much as legally possible.
We can live without them , but without their tax slaves, they have no power.
Don't sell them short. I'm guessing RFID chips sewn under our skin.
