It's not al-Qaida that has the Department of Homeland Security on edge.
It's not Hezbollah that has the Barack Obama administration on guard.
It's not Hamas that has the Feds working overtime on intelligence and security.
Once again, it's the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Here we go, again.
Yes, we've been here before.
President Clinton's White House and FBI were out looking for right-wing extremists plotting evil deeds for eight years. There was no Department of Homeland Security back then, because the Islamic terrorists had not yet destroyed the World Trade Center, only attempted once. And, of course, the Clinton administration never saw that coming because, well, they were too busy looking under beds for right-wing extremists.
Now that the Democrats have control of the White House and the executive branch of government, they are determined to put the Department of Homeland Security to use hunting down right-wing extremists.
They are especially concerned about those dreaded military men returning from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are specifically mentioned in the report for profiling.
They are also concerned about annoying people who protest abortion, support gun rights and who think the federal government isn't doing enough to prevent illegal immigration.
They are also concerned about those weird Christians who believe we're living in the "end times." You know how dangerous those people are.
And if you're one of those fringe characters who thinks the federal government is grabbing too much power away from individuals and the states, you, too, are on the enemies list.
This is how quickly the Obama administration has begun using the most powerful and well-funded agencies of the federal government against the people, squelching dissent and moving us closer to a fascist police state.
Do I overstate the case?
Please read the report for yourself.
See for yourself if I exaggerate.
I mentioned how history is repeating itself. We've been through this before. During the Clinton years, the FBI was instructed to be on the lookout for right-wing Christians interested in biblical end times prophecy. The FBI put out its own silly report called "Project Megiddo."
Mind you, this all happened after Islamic terrorists tried to destroy the World Trade Center, after they destroyed the Khobar Towers and just before they attacked the USS Cole, toppled the World Trade Centers in a follow-up attack and crashed a plane into the Pentagon.
Let's see: Death toll from Islamic terrorists – more than 3,000. Death toll from right-wing extremists – zero. Boy, their plan worked pretty well, didn't it? They successfully prevented right-wing Christian extremists from killing anyone.
Too bad they were looking in all the wrong places for the bad guys.
The psychology behind this is fascinating. These folks are always saying they are against "profiling." They don't think it's right to look at suspicious groups of people because it is "unfair" and "discriminatory" – even when the safety and security are at stake.
But they sure don't mind profiling you.
Isn't that something?
This is why government power is so dangerous.
Threats to freedom always come from one place – government that is too big for its britches.
With the federal government growing by leaps and bounds in the Obama era, our liberty could slip away in the blink of an eye.
If you doubt me, just read the report.
And ask yourself if this perceived threat by right-wing extremists is not just a little bit of self-serving paranoia by power-hungry elitists completely out of touch with the values and opinions of most Americans.
