Chairman’s Thoughts

The assessment reads like a sophomore’s bad political science essay in, for example, noting that right-wing extremism “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

“This is an very unfortunately named document,” Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Sara Kudon told me.

No lie.

The not-quite-classified but-also-not-meant-for-public-distribution assessment reads like a rookie mistake penned by political lightweights. But Kudan told me it was written by “career officials,” who had been working on the assessment for more than a year. (Read: DHS started working on this when George W. Bush was in charge.) That career officials would write such tripe should scare you.

Fox News posted a Jan. 26, 2009, assessment entitled, “Left-wing Extremists Likely to Increase Use of Cyber-Attacks Over the Coming Decade.” This would suggest equal-opportunity political targeting. Not so. The “left-wing” assessment named entities - the Earth Liberation Front, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, The Hacktivist, the Internet Liberation Front - and explained the methods used in specific and recent cyber-attacks. It also warned how specific groups - loggers, farmers and named corporations - were or could be targeted. That is, the “left-wing” assessment included information that would be useful to officials investigating crimes.

The “right-wing” document, however, targeted not activities, but political thought - opposition to abortion, immigration amnesty and gun laws. While the “left-wing” assessment reported on known criminal activities, the “right-wing” document started with the acknowledgment that Department of Homeland Security intelligence “has no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence.”Source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2009/04/15/ED5I1727J0.DTL

This, my fellow Americans, means that within the eyes of the Obama Administration you are a possible terrorist if you are pro-life, pro-second amendment (which means pro-constitution), for a secure border, or returning as a veteran from the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.  Are there any facts behind this assessment? No.  It is completely made up.  This is big-brother at best, treason at worst.  This is unacceptable from our government.  This is not change we can beleive in, this is just stupid. What’s next, will church goers be named terrorists because they believe in God?

The new $3.6 trillion budget includes a deficit of $1.2 trillion. One third of the budget is deficit spending, money we don’t have! That is on top of the $12 trillion we already owe. How much is $1 trillion? Consider this: A million seconds is 11.5 days. A billion seconds is 32 years. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years. We must strongly oppose this.This reckless spending is a moral issue. We are passing on to our grandchildren a debt that we created. Every man, woman and child in the country already owes $35,000, and we are piling more debt on them. We are robbing them of their right to enjoy the American Dream.  This plan, in the long run, will causes tax rates to skyrocket, the economy to stagnate, people’s income to drop, current Social Security and Medicare obligations to be impossible to meet.  This economic nightmare will lead to a decline in the U.S.’s ability to lead the world and, who I ask you will then step in our place?  Will they have respect for life, liberty, private property, human life, and God?  We deserve better!
