Federal agency warns of radicals on right

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.

Maybe this is the 'change' Sean was taking about?

Sean said...

Yes, I would say this is "a change" and not for the better. This report defines as radicals those "that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.". That would make many (but sadly not all) of our state governors radicals, along with me, I suppose.

This definition would also surely include the framers of our constitution, who saw the need to limit the power of federal government and did so through the constitution itself.

Governors like, for example, Rick Perry of Texas.

Rights and powers not specifically enumerated in the federal constitution belong to the states and the people.

What else would you expect the BHO dept of HLS to say? Why don't they focus on the violent southern border and leave peaceful american citizens alone? This is so typical of what righty has been warning about. The feds are setting the stage for the arrest and imprisonment of legal, law abiding American citizens, who disagree with its radical, socialist agenda. Of course the feds will play the race card, for poor oppressed BHO. Of course only the ' white ' war veterans are disgruntled. Does this mean that tens of thousands of black war veterans are perfectly happy with our new president.. because he's black? rac, don't buy into this left-wing propaganda, because when the feds are done locking righty up, you'll be next.

Are we maybe re-living history, maybe like the Revolutionary War? To big of a government? Maybe taxpayers are getting just a short, because taxpayers send in there taxes (money) but the taxpayers have no control over how their taxes are being spent? I don’t know? I’m just a guy on the sidelines watching it all implode.

So basically what you're saying is the Homeland Security report is accurate. I suppose it's only a matter of time before one of these nuts blows up another Federal building... or worse. IMHO the greatest threat this nation faces is not from abroad but rather from within. Especially with idiots like Fox News stirring up the pot.
