In The Government’s Crosshairs

 

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. -
