Are You a Right Wing Extremist?

I thought I would share a few thoughts on the DHS report on right wing extremism. I've extracted portions of that report (in black text) that are of particular concern to me. My comments are in blue text.

* (U) Right wing 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 anti government, 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.

The above statement essentially carries the nefarious threat that if you join groups that support these issues, then you are a potential extremist. Its certainly obvious that the Government worries about the potential for these groups to radicalize and attack particular religious, racial, or ethnic groups. Somehow, maybe I’m just a little cynical, that they have little concern about Muslim organizations attacking Christians here.

— (U//FOUO) Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are
attractive to right wing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that right wing
extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to
boost their violent capabilities.

Yes, America has much more to fear from returning combat veterans than Islamic terrorists pouring across the Mexican border. Doesn’t this sound like a line out of the Code Pink handbook, that those who risk life and limb to defend America are its greatest risk? God help us if we have people in ‘our’ Government who actually ‘think’ like this.

(U//FOUO) Weapons rights and gun-control legislation are likely to be hotly contested subjects of political debate in light of the 2008 Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller in which the Court reaffirmed an individual’s right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but left open to debate the precise contours of that right. Because debates over constitutional rights are intense, and parties on all sides have deeply held, sincere, but vastly divergent beliefs, violent extremists may attempt to co-opt the debate and use the controversy as a radicalization
tool.

I liked the language discussing the 2nd Amendment, that the "precise contours of that right" are debatable. Unbelievable. Taking away Americans Constitutional right to bear arms will always be hotly contested. Federal infringement on the 10th Amendment (States Rights) was hotly contested in 1861, and will be in 2012. The liberal judiciary seems to believe they can simply change the Constitution’s meaning by legal opinion, rather than going to the bother of ratifying changes or new amendments. Yes, tyranny will always be hotly contested in the United States of America. The day it isn’t, then it isn’t America anymore.

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in right wing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive right wing extremist radicalization.

I think my fellow Americans, we need to start working with our own grassroots organizations to ascertain the rise of leftwing extremism in DHS, and develop strategies to mitigate these internal threats to American liberty and economic freedom.

(U) DHS encourages recipients of this document to report information concerning suspicious or criminal activity to DHS and the FBI. The DHS National Operations Center (NOC) can be reached by telephone at 202-282-9685 or by e-mail at NOC.Fusion@dhs.gov.

You might want to give DHS a few suggestions. Read the entire report here.

Is it Time to Join a Militia?

Although I never felt insecure enough to join a militia, I am beginning to see a definite need. Yes, I am fearful. Call it paranoia, call it nativism, call it bigotry, call it xenophobia, oh hell...just call it plain unAmerican. I'm joining up.

I need a brotherhood (including sisters) who I can turn to when things start falling apart. The average numbnut doesn't appreciate that our civilization... our very existence hangs on threads. You take an island like Hawaii. If ships and planes stop coming with food, fuel, and medical supplies, how long would the population on that island survive? How long would it take for the wheels to start coming off the cart...24, 48, 72, or 120 hours? It won't take long, my friends (my John McCain impression..just kidding, of course). I was talking with a truck driving friend of mine who said most grocery store shelves would empty in just 48 hours without restocking deliveries. Supply chain management folks. Nothing is warehoused in any great quantity anymore. I tell you again, our very survival hangs by the hour...should anything interrupt the routine delivery of life sustaining supplies. Think about it.

I was in Fayetteville NC when hurricane Bonnie blew through. Staying in a hotel, the local news station recommended everyone get batteries, get water, get canned goods, get enough stuff to tide you over for two to three days... if things went South. That very night, I went to the store. Guess what. No water, no milk, no bread, no batteries, no flashlights, no nothing...absolutely nothing could be bought potentially useful for survival (less than 2 hours from that report). In a real emergency, I'm convinced we'd kill each other for a jar of olives.

What is equally perilous is that I don't recognize my country anymore. I look around, and don't see fellow countrymen, but foreigners speaking every language you can imagine...except English. You see, they don't see you as a fellow American either, but just another competitor. These people wouldn't give you a second glance... certainly couldn't count on them to lend a hand if you needed help. Forget it. You're a gringo, a infidel, a honky, a redneck, certainly not one of them. I now know how the Israelis feel, surrounded by people who are indifferent a best, or would cut your throat at worst.

Therefore, join a militia. You can't count on the system, whether its local , State, or Federal. Your not going to find me standing on a rooftop like a Katrina moron with a help sign. The next emergency may be very different. You can't count on the invaders who now live among us in America. What you can count on is a loaded AK with full magazines....and a few equally equipped like minded friends watching your back.
