It's actually what they preferred to be called.[/quote]
I think I remember hearing about that in history class. Strange that the right can be something horrific on one hand, but on the other hand for some people it means the bastion of Orthodoxy in another place and context

i take this as a compliment. I'd rather be a right-wing extremist than a pinko commie liberal, left-leaning, homo-loving, baby-killing hippie

well, actually, I dont' think we should call each other names....

I don't think that's lost on the authors of that moronic "report." It deals largely with the alleged threat of neo-Nazis and White Supremacist groups, but lumps pro-lifers, supporters of second amendment rights, etc, in there with them.

To our current "leadership," terrorists, neo-Nazis, and pro-life conservatives are all the same.

In fact, there is no Islamic jihad and there is no war on terror. Those phrases, "war on terror" and "jihad" have been stricken from the venacular in government agencies. Bush did away with "jihad" and Obama just did away with "war on terror". Seems that where the government is concerned the real terrorists are Christians, Jews, pro-lifers of all stripes, conservatives and gun-rights advocates.

Exactly.

God forbid the government let reality interfere with political correctness!

Rather than deal with people who are actually known to be responsible for terrorist acts, let's focus on conservatives, pro-lifers and others with no known ties to terrorism. [url="http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/041609_extremism.pdf"]The "report"[/url] begins by admitting: "The DHF/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence . . ." but let's keep tabs on those awful right-wingers just in case!

A footnote defines "rightwing extremists" thus:[quote]Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting government authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. [b]It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.[/b][/quote] (emphasis added)

There is indeed a serious fascist threat in the US, but it's not from "rightwing extremists" - it's from our Left-wing government.

It was amazing how fast people could be slapped on the terrorist watch list for saying anything against the Bush Administration's will; like that reporter that did a story on the No Fly/Terror Watch List, and after it aired he found himself on it where he hadn't been before.

I also notice this is yet another political thread in Open Mic, like many threads in Open Mic anymore. I remember when this site was about Catholicism, or at least this board of it dealt with the Fullness of Truth. [/quote]
Are the pukie faces in response to the "report" or to people criticizing it on Phatmass?

I mean, God forbid anyone criticize Dear Leader's administration in Open Mic!

And do you really think the fact that our government is linking pro-lifers to terrorists should not make Catholics at least a little bit uneasy?

(Btw - I think this should be moved back to Open Mic)

I'm a pinko commie liberal, anti-gay marriage, pro-life hippie. My husband's schizophrenia may be contagious. These are certainly confusing times we live in.

Commie? What?

i wish there was this much uproar over the six bailouts during 2008...

That's just what I get called when I say I'm against the death penalty, and I'm for taking care of the vulnerable and disenfranchised.

Talk like that will get you ree-educated.
