Obama declares war on "Right-wing terror"

Well, Barack Obama wanted to change the tone from the Bush Administration, and he's certainly done it. We now have a government that will not refer to a "War on Terror" and will not refer to al Qaida as terrorists--now, they're just "extremists." On the other hand, Obama's nitwit head of the Department of Homeland Security--you know, the one who's supposed to keep us safe?--has found a new group of terrorists, right here in America!

It's the people who dare oppose our beloved president. (how typical.)

Even though the lefties loved to bitch and moan about how Bush was destroying the constitution with the DHS and the Patriot Act, nobody in his administration ever discussed "rouge left-wing elements" that might want to do harm to him, the government or the citizenry of this nation, even though we know they exist (Bill Ayers or ANSWER, anyone?). The reasoning was simple--there's no substantive proof that these groups pose a clear and present danger to the security of the United States, jackholes though they may be.

The same applies for right-wing groups now that the Dear Leader is president, but that's not stopping his lemmings from starting what can only be a politically-motivated attempt at isolation, ostracism and destruction.

Of course, the liberals will scream "Timothy McVeigh" at the top of their lungs in response. Touche'; but consider this:

"The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment."

Oh, ok. So you really don't have anything to go on here except your own personal biases. That's pretty pathetic. Further, history shows that left-wing extremists are more likely to erupt into spates of violence during economic downturns, not right-wingers.

But that's not the point here; the point is that the DHS is trying the ultimate scare tactic against those their leaders are politically opposed to. Basically, those who don't like Obama's policies, increased taxation, his plans for government expansion into private industry or his possible attempts at expanding arms control limitations.

Those sound like "extremist" viewpoints to you? Does opposition to gay marriage, illegal immigration or the outsourcing of jobs sound "extremist"? All of these are issues the DHS claims are going to expand the ranks of the "right-wing extremists".

(In other words, the Republican Party.)

The Department of Homeland Security was started to prevent acts of foreign terror against the United States. In three months, the Dear Leader and Nitwit Napolitano have turned it into an internal political police force. This should not only be deemed repugnant by Americans, regardless of their political stripe, but frightening.

Well, liberals, you wanted a change from Bush--you got it. Now your political opponents, not foreign scum, are the targets of the federal government. Happy now?
