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.

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

State after state has adopted some version of the “Castle Doctrine.”

Recently, State of Nevada Assemblyman Mortenson introduced AB288, Nevada’s version of the Castle Doctrine. Now, we find that Judiciary Committee Chairman Bernie Anderson is holding up this bill.

Nevada is one of a handful of states that have traditionally been fairly friendly when it comes to gun owners. One wonders why Bernie Anderson would desire to deprive honest, law-abiding people of this important piece of legislation.

I urge you to contact your state legislators, members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee and Barbara Buckley in support of AB288 and ask them to bring this bill up for a full hearing and urge them to pass this bill.

Be polite but be firm.

One almost can’t avoid a news story today about the recent dramatic increase in firearms and ammunition sales.

The reason for this as told by almost every gun store owner interviewed is that people “fear” that O bama and Congress will ban certain firearms.

I don’t agree with that reason. I don’t think people “fear” that the government will ban some firearms. Certainly many people are buying firearms because they believe that the government will ban those guns however, I believe that should be interpreted as “The people have spoken and you should listen.”

One must ask oneself really why are people buying guns that may be banned if not to be prepared for whatever is coming?

The way things are shaping up one of the comments that every anti gun nut uses as a reason why it is stupid to buy guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical government (because OUR government is benign and wouldn’t turn on us) may be coming to pass.

A friend had this to say:

    The nonsense I am used to hearing about using firearms to defend ourselves from the government are usually one of three:

1. We have no need/or right to defend ourselves from the government

  (They forget that the people/subjects of Germany, Cambodia, and Colonial America all felt the same at one time)

2. Personally owned firearms are of no use against a modern military

  (The purpose of the Liberator pistol was to shoot a soldier and take his weapon. History is full of examples of partisans holding off significantly larger, better armed troops)

3. You have no legitimate need for 'Assault Weapons' to defend yourself.

  (In this scenario I could think of nothing, short of maybe an SBR, that I would rather have).

Also, with an economic collapse as a possibility, anarchy could be the result. Doesn’t it seem reasonable to prepare for that eventuality? If that were to happen there will be people who will stop at nothing to take from you what you have, whether it is food, water, gasoline or anything else they can take. They might take from the unprepared.

Some of us are prepared to defend what is ours; the items we will need to survive.

As an aside, while I’m not hoping for the criminal element to run rampant, at least then we may have an opportunity to thin the herd and rid ourselves of the scum who would prey on others.

But, back to the government; I truly hope all the morons ruining, uh, running the country are paying attention.

From Rick Santelli and the rest of us peace loving, law-abiding people, the morons are being told enough is enough. The tea party is about to begin. Just keep pressing the people and we may have to bring back tar and feathers and a rail to run them out of town on.

So, to the morons I say, go ahead, just try to disarm us. Go ahead and just try to impose the so-called “fairness doctrine.” Go ahead and keep raising our taxes but remember that this country was born –at least in part – as the result of an attempt to disarm the people and taxes on tea and the Stamp Act and an oppressive government.

Please see the links below for details of the stamp act, the Boston Tea party and the relatively small amounts of the taxes imposed.

The arrogance and conceit of the fools in the government is stunning. We’ve had enough. The people are saying “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.” It’s about time.
