A Dangerous Man

"There is a danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with the power to endanger the public liberty."

John Adams

A new report from the Department of Homeland Security is titled:

"Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."

From Michelle Malkin's blog the incredible facts unfold.

For all the Bush-bashers out there who thought they had lost their freedom when the DHS actually did its job smoking out terrorists...er, the bad guys...sorry, I don't know the current Orwellian newsspeak for terrorists.

CAIR Bears, perhaps?

(HT: Ldotter)

Does that mean this blog is in the DHS file?

According to the report:

"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 federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

So, let me see...

If I'm a Christian speaking out against gay marriage and terrorism--I'm a hate-oriented extremist.

If I support the Constitution and its premise of a government run by the people; and I'm opposed to federal power-grabs and taxation without representation--I'm an anti-government extremist.

If I speak out against abortion or illegal immigration--I'm a rightwing extremist

According to this report: I'm extreme.

Funny, I've been all those things since 1994.

They weren't extreme then.

But, in the Spring of 2009, I am considered a threat to America.

Who is more dangerous:

The man who wants to keep his freedom, or the man who wants to keep freedom silent?
