Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis has put out a report, titled
"Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling
Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
This report specifies that certain people or groups who,
for example, are single issue voters, who believe that the nation’s borders
should be secure, that individuals who believe that the Second Amendment to the
Constitution protects an inherent right and believe that the federal government
has grown to oppressive proportions are a threat to the country and are
domestic terrorists.
All of this with no evidence to support any of these
assertions.
What, then, is the purpose and intent of such a report? All
of the possible reasons for issuing a report of this nature are too numerous to
list and would be mere speculation on my part.
The result, while also being a matter of speculation is
probably predictable. This report may be a case of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When one looks for enemies one is bound to find them.
In my opinion, this report was written and released not as
a warning about domestic terrorists, but to incite a negative response from the
type of individuals and/or groups listed in the report.
Will the report have their desired response? I hope that
it does not. I do however hope that it generates a response from the outraged
people targeted in the report.
I urge people who believe that it was pointless to write
or call the elected representatives of this country to express their concern or
even outrage at being singled out as a potential terrorist.
Further, I urge freedom-loving people to join and/or
contribute their time and money to the National Rifle Association (NRA), Gun
Owners of America (GOA), the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and/or the
Citizen’s Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CKRKBA) even if you
aren’t a gun owner but especially if you are.
What about the real threat to the country?
I find it hard to believe that the liberal socialists on
the left (and even some on the right) consider a little water in the face to be
torture.
I’ve read about how people have been tortured and
waterboarding doesn’t live up to the definition of torture. Apparently, our own
military personnel are routinely subjected to this technique to prepare them if
they are captured and tortured.
Even if the people who would destroy us were in fact
tortured, I don’t care. If we can stop further attacks on us, I don’t care what
method is used to extract information that can be used to prevent those
attacks.
I wonder how the pampered liberals will feel when we are
attacked again, or when we’re running out of fuel and food?
Higgins: Oil now. In 10 or 15 years . . . food, plutonium, and maybe even sooner.
What do you think the people are going to want us to do then?
Turner: Ask them.
Higgins: Not now. Then. Ask them when they're running out.
Ask them when there's no heat and they're cold. Ask them when their engines stop.
Ask them when people who have never known hunger start going hungry.
Want to know something? They won't want us to ask them.
They'll just want us to get it for them. - Three Days of the Condor
