Recently, a couple of documents surfaced that warned law enforcement of Right Wing Extremists. The first of these documents to be leaked was the MIAC report from Missouri. This document was made public in February of 2009. The second of these documents was Janet Napolitano's DHS document of which an edited version was made public in April of 2009.
Unfortunately, these documents highlight the Federal Government's need to limit free speech. The following is a list of speech or thinking that the government uses to identify Right Wing Extremists:
- Opposes restrictions on firearms
- Opposes lax immigration
- Opposes the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programs
- Opposes continuation of free trade agreements
- Opposes same-sex marriage
- Has paranoia of foreign regimes
- Fear of Communist regimes
- Opposes one world government
- Bemoans the decline of U.S. stature in the world.
- Upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India
The unfortunate message is that those that do not agree with those progressive policies must be vilified and given a title such as "Domestic Terrorist" in an attempt to marginalize the views, polarize society, and create an official "bad guy".
While the list includes items that are not "Politically Correct", there are no anti American sentiments. In fact, most are directed at protecting the country from foreign interests.
In short, this list does little more than identify the agenda and create a political environment where it is acceptable to "hate" those that dare assume that the Federal Government is not bigger than the States or the Constitution of the United States of America.
