Subtlety: The quality of being difficult to detect or analyze.
A new
Homeland Security report has surfaced addressing the rise/threat of right-wing extremists. It is all over the news [well, in some news agencies, anyway], so you can go look it up yourself.
But here is my point: it is beginning to look like ANY comment that just might be against the Government policies and programs and/or Barack Hussein Obama may well put you on someone's anti-government list. You may be an extremist!
Are you pro-life?
Are you anti-illegal immigration?
Do you believe in the 1st Amendment and that you have a RIGHT to express your support, or more importantly, your non-support, of overly invasive government policies and programs? Or criticize Barack Hussein Obama?
Do you voice your opinion against government policies or officials?
Do you support the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms?
Do you support the 10th Amendment and believe in a less intrusive federal government [rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority]?
Are you against bigger, stronger federal government?
Do you feel the federal government is slowly squashing individual rights?
Against corrupt politicians? Feel like your elected officials might be less than honorable? [Of course, one must keep in mind WE elected these people! But that isn't the point here.]
Are you religious? [Or, more accurately, are you a Christian?]
Have you lost your home? Your car? Your credit? Your job?
Are you against affirmative action programs, instead thinking a person should advance based on THEIR skills, education, etc., and not some government-mandated quota?
Do you display signs, bumber stickers, etc., like "Don't Tread On Me" or "Molon Labe"?
Are you a veteran?
If any of these describe you, then YOU may well be a right-wing extremist -according to a new Homeland Security report. Your government here to keep you safe.
Now back to my first line: subtlety.
By virtue of the above 'designations', it seems the government has found a way to start suppressing dissent. If you express any sentiment other than the 'approved' government position, then you just might be an extremist. Since most people do not like being labeled as an 'extremist', this type report paints, with very broad strokes, a lot of people IF those people disagree with the government position. Or Barack Hussein Obama.
What appears to be a 'report' on extremists actually sets the groundwork for the government to suppress anyone it feels as a threat. A most subtle way of controlling the populace, in my opinion.
Keep in mind, this report is the UNCLASSIFIED version....imagine what the classified report must contain.
[It should be noted, in an effort to show impartiality, this report follows on the heels of a previous report on left-wing extremists. Oh, and both reports were supposedly initiated under President Bush's administration, so the current administration can continue to NOT be held accountable for anything.]
Note: 48 Days and I still haven't heard back from my Congressional representatives.
Opinionated Fool
Semper Fi
Barack Hussein Obama grades his performance on fixing the economy as 'Incomplete.' Really?
