Americans Have Been Made the ENEMY

Homeland Security is trying to scare you away from conservatism and force you left. Will you let them?
President Obama has been showing a pattern of distancing himself from legislation and actions that may be seen as unpopular but he does nothing about opposing such issues. I believe that is because he is fully behind them, as seen by earlier statements and actions throughout his political career and campaigning. This document from Homeland Security is the most shocking federal stance against free speech that I can recall. It seems to be purposefully flaming the fire of those already distrustful of the federal government. We urge our readers to be careful not to promote anarchy. We need to have the courage to stand up for things we believe in, like the right to life issue, and if this labels us as extremists, so be it. Hopefully we will not be pushed by this disgusting label from Homeland Security into becoming truly extremist or dangerous to stability.
It is also shocking that the timing of this report coincides with the governor of Texas backing a resolution affirming state sovereignty. Please email this article to your friends for it is time for everyone to wake up. A line has been crossed that must not go unnoticed.
Federal agency warns of radicals on right
9-page report sent to police
By Audrey Hudson Washington Times
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 White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, “The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned.”
The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff’s departments across the United States on April 7 under the headline, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”
It says the federal government “will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months” to gather information on “rightwing extremist activity in the United States.”
The joint federal-state activities will have “a particular emphasis” on the causes of “rightwing extremist radicalization.”
Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban said the report is one in an ongoing series of assessments by the department to “facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the U.S.”
The report, which was first disclosed to the public by nationally syndicated radio host Roger Hedgecock, makes clear that the Homeland Security Department does not have “specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence.“It warns that fringe organizations are gaining recruits, but it provides no numbers.
The report says extremist groups have used President Obama as a recruiting tool.
I have been trying to read page 2 and 3 of this article but it must be getting so many hits that it will not load. After trying for half an hour, I’ve decided to post what I have now. I may blog more on the rest tomorrow.
