DHS Labels People of Conscience and Veterans Terrorists

The Department of Homeland Security is in the hotseat, at least I sure hope they are, for this poor excuse for a threat analysis. See Response. Check out the report HERE

This kind of fear mongering reminds me of Hitler and his brownshirts labeling people. Apparently the government doesn't want to deal with a free people. Freedom means being able to express your dissatisfaction.

What angered me even more than the characterization of pro-lifers and people on the conservative right as terrorists, was the characterization of returning veterans as potential terrorists. The poster child they presented was Timothy McVeigh who if I recall correctly was radicalized not by his veteran status but by the government massacre of women and children at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Perhaps before looking among the veterans for terrorists the government should clean up its own act.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center stated, “This is not an intelligence report but a diatribe against those who oppose the policies of the Obama administration. It is a declaration of war against the American people and our constitution. It is a prelude to extreme gun control legislation and hate speech laws targeting Christian churches and others who oppose abortion and same sex marriage. The federal government should be focusing its attention on the 35 radical Muslim compounds in the U.S. training its followers on how to kidnap and kill Americans.”

The Department of Homeland Security is doing us a disservice ... They should focus their attention on real terrorists, you know, the kinds on record as killing people with IEDs or airplanes or just chopping their heads off on TV while yelling "Allah is great!" DHS is obviously not doing its real job. It's much easier to take off after peaceable Americans who don't like creeping socialism and feeding the abortion industry. Here's another LINK.
