ok, so we have folks smuggling nukular material throught US banks; we have places like Islamberg being ignored; we’ve gotten rid of the terms “enemy combatant” and “terrorist attack” when referring to Islamist groups; we’re on the verge of opening up gitmo and giving them welfare; but for a year+ (according to many) this group has been working on the threat of “right wing violence” due to the slumping economy and the election of Obama (which, incidently, only occurred a few months ago, and the economy really began its slump more recently than that)?

The FBI even has (rather, had) a reachout program to CAIR and other Islamist apologists, but now we worry that the fear is right wing extremism? Any cook can pull a Virginia Tech or Oklahoma City. I’m not sure what any agency can do to stop such events where one person goes off the deep end.

Left wing groups have been blowing things up for years, and some eventually get pardoned, but now we have to worry about people because they are unhappy they lost their job, unhappy about immigration policies, or unhappy about potential firearms bans? That encompasses a lot of folks who aren’t necessarily “extremists.”

They should be pissed off.

This report, as vague as it is, may has well included unruly martians as potential threats. No specifics, just some vague descriptions of extremists, that include “groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.” Really?

There is no actual data on anything in the report. Not a single iota of evidence that anything they say is true, other than the stockpiling of ammunition in certain areas, which is measurable and defendable, I suppose.

another blog tears the report apart pretty well, undermining its central premise. It states: “…the “outsourcing of jobs” outrage didn’t get stoked by the Right. That outrage got fed by the Democrats in the last two elections, and it’s a feature of the same anti-globalization loons of the hard Left that continually disrupt G-20 summits as they violently did in London. “

This whole DHS report is a liberal wet dream.

Marginalize anyone who doesn’t believe in big federal government, marginalize anyone who supports the right to bear arms, marginalize anyone who dissents with the current administration on a multitude of issues, marginalize those with strong opinions on abortion, and marginalize those with strong feelings about immigration.

Ofcourse we didn’t need to worry about left wingers holding sings of Bush up with the Hitler mustache. No need to do anything about the left wing loons trying to stop trains carrying war material by pouring concrete on rail road tracks (Olympia, WA). No need to worry about left wing groups attacking military recruiter offices. No, those are all just fine.

Instead we need to worry about those that support federalism, the 2nd Ammendment, and the right to life.

If this is any sort of focus by DHS (after, removing any references to Islamic terrorism in any documents, of course) we are in big trouble.
