Holder: 'Homegrown Violent Extremists … Keep Me Up at Night' (Video at link)
The Weekly Standard ^ | Daniel Halper

Posted on 07/13/2014 9:32:08 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Attorney General Eric Holder has a "lot of sleepless nights," reported ABC News this morning. Chief among his concerns? The threat of "homegrown violent extremists."

Asked the ABC News reporter, "Is that threat," like the Boston Marathon bombing last year, "any less serious?"

"These lone wolves. These homegrown violent extremists are people who keep me up at night, as well," said Holder. "Trying to monitor them, trying to anticipate what it is they are going to do. And the experience that we had in Boston is instructive. It only takes only one or two people to really do something horrific."

The ABC anchor says the reporter and Holder talked about "homegrown terrorists who are motivated more by domestic concerns." .

"Yes," the reporter says citing a couple recent examples. "He said that is coming back, as well. There may be a resurgence. He said there are a lot of sleepless nights these days."

Is Eric Holder talking about all of those Uniformed Government extremist who have been armed to the teeth and equipped with armour and Billions of Rounds of Ammunition at our expense?

In other words we are totally looking away from the actual muzzie terrorism to play the boogie man card.

Oh, they'll find a boogie-man, don't you worry about that.

They'll find one even if they have to create him themselves, which they have done in the past.

Thanks for the clarification. Silly me thought the Amish had Holder’s direct dial number to alert him to another amusing round of knockout.

BS Holder, you are worried about something else. It’s something personal and that effect you directly that is keeping you awake at night. It is your criminal actions and support that one day may catch up to you is what keeps you awake.

We know it isn’t his conscience that’s keeping him up.

It’s too bad that one of obamas sons just doesn’t take him out. Then, he would sleep forever.

Holder SHOULD be concerned. No doubt the Obammunists are scared of pushing their fascism so far that the population actually revolts.

On the other hand, I think they have nothing to fear for quite a while. Our clueless citizenry will continue to vote for leftists (be it GOP leftists or Democrat communists) until our country implodes, most likely occuring when unchecked money-printing finally renders our currency worthless.

Until then, the merry-go-round will continue to spin, and our fat, ignorant, and stoned citizens will guzzle, gobble, tweet, twitter, facebook, instant-message, and surf the web for the latest cat videos until the day the ATM machines no longer work. And at that point, no amount of fascist control by the government can touch the chaos.

"Civil unrest" is exactly what they want and have been planning for.

UN Agenda 21 calls for reducing world population to 500,000,000.

There is only one way to get there.

Muslim extremists setting off bombs is not a concern of Eric Holder. Nor are terrorsts walking into the country under the current open borders policy.

Heck, to him those things are "job security."

Never mind that the Russians were screaming at us to look at the Chechens. Who cares? No skin off Holder's nose.

However, to Holder, the NSA, and everyone else who relies on a government check - THESE are real threat:

People demanding lower taxes.

Now those people threaten the "liberal way of life"!
