Or as my blogging buddy Redoubt said, “Your Government on Steroids”.   

In a democracy, the opposition is not only tolerated as constitutional, but must be maintained because it is indispensable. – Walter Lippmann

Evidently the Obama administration is worried about conservative thinking people in this country who are not too happy with the government.  They fear because of this worry, they may gather together and become extreme. 

The Washington Times filed a story about a 9-page document distributed to law enforcement about these radical, extremist groups, specifically tagged as “right wing”.  Conservatives have been called right-wing since Hillary’s conspiracy theories when Bill was fighting against charges of lying and doing Monica.

The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” saying the economic recession, the election of America’s first black president* and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

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.

“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning says.

*The election of the country’s first half-black/half-white president doesn’t have a damn thing to do with why us “right-wing extremists” are pissed off at our government spending the next three generations’ paychecks.  That is typical liberal racism screaming when they want to justify their hate toward those that disagree with them.

When I first heard about this report, my blood started to slowly simmer.  Then when I read more on it, the simmer turned to a rolling boil.

Via Michelle Malkin:

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

Michelle said her bullshit detector was going off all day while she tracked this story down. I know the feeling. People she talked to said it has been in the works for a year, but like Michelle, I am calling Bullshit on this one. Obama’s puppet masters have had a lot of the shit he’s been rolling out planned. There is no way in hell this bastard could come up with half the crap that he’s been spouting since his election.

You can download the document in .pdf format from Michelle’s site.  I’ve already put it to my harddrive and am going to read through it more thoroughly. 

Big Dog sums up a lot of how I’m feeling too.

Remember:

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
~ Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) 

I confess to be a Rightwing Extremist.
