WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report - states the possibility of violence by right-wing extremists upset about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and jobs also singles out returning war veterans as particular threats in the United States.
The report, titled Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment - dated April 7 2009 states that threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical.
The report goes on to suggest the worsening 2008-2009 economic recession with the lost of jobs could swell the ranks of the job-less and growth of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines - right wing 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 WILL BE AN AMERICA where a majority of citizens receive lavish government handouts and benefits but pay no federal income taxes, meanwhile voting themselves still more benefits from the shrinking minority who do pay taxes -- at ever more "progressive" rates
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA where "universal health care" means waiting months, even years, for urgently needed treatment -- unless you happen to be politically powerful or connected -- and where all your private medical information is on a government database (don't worry: they promise never to use it against you!)
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA where "green" ideologues and other nanny-staters dictate what we drive, what we eat, home energy usage, the size of our houses, and even how many children we can have
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA where our major industries, crippled by government mandates, taxes, and regulations, end up becoming taxpayer-supported dinosaurs that can no longer compete in the global marketplace
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA where all employers will be forced to hire and promote not according to ability but according to race, gender, and ethnicity -- all in the name of "diversity"
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA where our once-great centers of finance, industry, culture, and innovation -- from New York to Silicon Valley -- will have gone to seed, while only Washington, D.C., and its environs prosper
IT WILL BE AN AMERICA, in short, where only politicians, government bureaucrats, and their favored constituencies are able to thrive -- and where the only "liberty" that remains is the government's unlimited freedom to control every aspect of your life
How about: "you are a left-wing extremist if you are a Democrat on the New Britain City Council?"

You are a left wing extremist if you associate with the likes of Phony Phil!
