Just Call Me Lone Wolf

Well, I guess I am an official "right-wing extremist" now!

A report from the Department of Homeland Security defines right-wing extremists as the following:
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
Columnist Michelle Malkin described the report as one of the most embarrassingly shoddy pieces of propaganda I’d ever read out of DHS. I couldn’t believe it was real.

According to this document, if you are concerned about the economic downturn, economic hardship, illegal immigration, threats from other countries, or restrictions on the Second Amendment, you might be a right-wing extremist!

If you are a Christian -- or worse -- a returning military veteran, you might be a right-wing extremist!

Why, the report cites 10 people who have been arrested over the past 10 to 15 years for plotting in the name of right-wing extremism. Save for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the report cites not one actual incident.

Unlike the left-wing extremist groups in this country who for decades have been actively involved in domestic terror, violence and being a general pain in the ass. Such as the Animal Liberation Front; the Earth Liberation Front (sorry about the color); PETA; among others.

Many
of us warned long ago that the Obama Administration and it's allies on the left and in the news media would paint any opposition to Obama and his policies and racist and hate-mongering.

But now, it appears, we are threats to national security!

Huzzah for me!

Weird that one would read a Homeland Security report on fringe, far-right extremists contemplating violence or Oklahoma-style domestic terrorism and think, "They're talking about me!" Just sayin'.

Anyway, I've said before that I'd vouch for you, and I meant it.

It is rather like in the 70s when all the Liberal-types took pride in being on Nixon's Enemies List.
