A recent Department of Justice guide for investigators of criminal and extremist groups lists constitutionalists and survivalists alongside organizations like Al-Qaeda and the Aryan Brotherhood. The 120-page, Law Enforcement Sensitive guide to Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism Terms and Concepts describes itself as a glossary designed primarily as a tool for criminal justice professionals to enhance their understanding of words relating to extremist terminology, phrases, activities, symbols, organizations, and selected names that they may encounter while conducting criminal investigations or prosecutions of members of extremist organizations.
Constitutionalist, defined by Random Houses 2010 Dictionary as an adherent or advocate of constitutionalism or of an existing constitution, is described in the report as a generic term for members of the patriot movement

Guilty on both counts, your majesty...
I would guess soon after the 2012 election.
Democrats - A radical cult of bigots with strong ties to the KKK, racist organizations, segregation and lynchings and has an affinity for totalitarian mass murder movements like Stalinism, Maoism, Nazism and fascism. Should be considered irrational and insane. Approach with butterfly net.
The word has been out on former Service Men/Women for some tine. It also includes people who attend one church meetinf a week, prople who believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God, legitmate gun owners,people who believe in the Second Coming,People who tithe.
From the DOJ document, another reference to Gun Owners of America...
American Pistol and Rifle Association (APRA):
Formerly the most extreme of the various progun organizations in the country, with some chapters essentially constituting militia groups; it has since merged with the Gun Owners of America.
For those who did not, or do not wish to download the document, some of the ‘interesting’ definitions . . .
From the U.S. Department of Justice document entitled “Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism - Terms and Concepts” . . .
“AntiAbortion Movement: A very large movement dedicated to stopping the practice of abortion, which remains one of the foremost political issues in the United States. Extremists have assassinated abortion physicians and their employees in the United States.”
“Christian Patriots: A term used, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, to describe people sympathetic to right-wing ideology.”
“Christian Reconstructionism: A theology common among many in the patriot movement. It essentially argues that biblical law should be the basis for reconstructing earthly societiesin other words, it espouses an essentially theocratic government.”
“Constitutionalists: A generic term for members of the patriot movement. It is now often used to refer to members of the sovereign citizen or common law court movement. Sometimes the word constitutionist is also used.”
“Jack-Booted Thug (JBT): A law enforcement officer (especially federal) draped in combat fatigues or other military or paramilitary uniform, wearing a ski mask or similar headgear guaranteeing anonymity, wielding powerful military weapons, and utilizing other military vehicles and gear.”
“Oath of OffIce: An oath public officials take that patriots claim binds them to the patriots view of duty. Perhaps the most common charge leveled by antigovernment extremists is that their public officials are violating oaths of office if they enforce an unpopular law, rule, or regulation.”
“One-World Government: The concept that there will ultimately be a single governing body that will control the world. Some right-wing extremists fear this occurring, believing that white people will be in the minority, with Jewish people ultimately controlling the world.”
“Patriot Movement: The patriot movement is a general term used by its members to describe the collective movements and individuals on the extreme right wing. In one form or another, this practice dates back many decades; in the 1930s, many on the far right referred to themselves as superpatriots. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was common to refer to the Christian Patriot movement, but this term is less common now than then. Among the types of individuals that can be found within the patriot movement are white supremacists, sovereign
citizens, tax protesters, militia members, and sometimes antiabortion or anti-environmental groups.”
“Preparedness Expos: Essentially, traveling trade fairs designed to appeal to the patriot market.”
“Regional Intelligence Centers: Multijurisdictional centers cooperatively developed within a logical geographical area that coordinate federal, state, and local law enforcement information with other information sources to track and assess criminal and terrorist threats that are operating in or interacting with the region.”
“Restoring the Government/Constitution: One of the prime goals of many members of the patriot movement, who claim they are not trying to overthrow the government but rather want to restore the government to its status before it started ignoring the Constitution. Patriots claim that most actions of the U.S. government are unconstitutional and illegal.”
“Sharia (Shariah, Shari`ah): Islamic law, based on the Koran (Allahs revelation) and on the traditions (hadiths) of the Prophet Mohammed, ijma (consensus decision by the Muslim authorities), and Qiyas (reasoning by analogy); the way or the divine path of duty, both ritual and general behavior for Muslims; informs the community about the nature of the faithfulness that God requires of them.”
“Survivalists: The survivalist movement feared a coming collapse of civilization, generally as the result of nuclear war, and tried to prepare themselves to survive it. Survivalists typically stockpiled food, water, and weapons, especially the latter, and instructed themselves on topics ranging from first aid to childbirth to edible plants.”
“Threat Inventory: An information and intelligence-based survey within the region of a law enforcement agency to identify potential individuals or groups that pose criminal or terrorist threats without a judgment of the kind of threat they pose. The inventory is simply to determine their presence.”
“Yahweh/Yeshua: Names referring to God and Jesus, respectively, often used by Christian Identity followers.”
It’s time the states and people end the federal government and charge them with TREASON and put them on trial.Enough is enough.
is it me, or is that description pretty negative and radical vs...
Sharia (Shariah, Shari`ah): Islamic law, based on the Koran (Allahs revelation) and on the traditions (hadiths) of the Prophet Mohammed, ijma (consensus decision by the Muslim authorities), and Qiyas (reasoning by analogy); the way or the divine path of duty, both ritual and general behavior for Muslims; informs the community about the nature of the faithfulness that God requires of them.
warm and cuddly, peaceful community organizers...???
So the United States of America is advocating survivalists in terms of telling everyone to be prepared to live on their own in case of a disaster.
While our laws and republican system of government is very strongly constitutionalists.
IN short everyone in the United States should be both survivalists and constitutionalists. And yet somehow that all of them can be regarded as an extremest?
I’m sorry but you really devalue the word extremist when you apply it to the entire General population.
The Federal Department of justice is suppose to be hunting down terrorist, illegal aliens, and other threats of a Foreign nature. NOT the entire American population who pay their bills.
Yes, you make a very good point!
Also, I see that no one has commented on Reply #20 above about the definition of Gun Owners of America in the DOJ document. Quoting the document . . .
“Gun Owners of America (GOA): An extremely radical gun-owning group with close ties to the militia movement. It reputedly has about 100,000 members (as opposed to the millions of NRA members). GOA is headed by Larry Pratt, a strong militia supporter who also has close ties to the white-supremacist movement.”
It sounds to me like it may be a questionable and biased definition of the group (which I have heard is concerned with gun rights and the Second Amendment, although I am not familiar with the group).
GOA is often mentioned here on threads about the National Rifle Association. I was thinking about posting a thread about this for the ‘banglist’... do you think it merits a separate thread?
I dont know much about larry pratt, but if the fed is tryin to fling some poo, hes prolly over the target...
pingy thingy to 20 and 25 as well...
Excuse me, I have to go check the wire around the compound.
I guess calling for "killing cracker babies" isn't so extreme to the Racists at DOJ.
Kinda tells you what the score is, doesn't it?
Do you remember when this regime scrubbed the term “Islamic terrorist” and insisted they only be referred to as
terrorist.
This shows what I suspected back them— the regime does not want to mollify the muslims. It sought a broader definition of terrorism, one they could assign to anyone they didn’t like.
This is an old time fascist ploy, and they are on schedule.
Thanks for this post...seems to follow the pattern of the other “law enforcement sensitive” documents that were not meant to be seen but have surfaced.
I posted another thread about the reference to Gun Owners of America in the document.

I’m certainly glad that our law-enforcement forces are “leaky” on matters like this.
It shows that at least some of them know the clear difference between the people they are employees to protect and the people they are employed to hunt down.
More importantly it shows they are not willing to be abused by corrupt power hungry Washington politicians.
It’s really too bad we will never be able to give em a Metal rewarding this kind of good judgment, as that would invariably blow their cover marking em for removal by following administrations.
LORD GOT, PLEASE REMOVE ALL SUCH TRAITORS WITH ALL SUCH SENTIMENTS FROM ANY HINT OF PUBLIC LIFE WHATSOEVER.
Outhouse cleaning in Siberia would be acceptable.
Service in the military, especially combat action, is seen as a warning sign of extremism by the DHS.
The Obama DHS guide to groups continued:
“Anarchists”= Friendly, but misguided youth. Never mind the anarchist cookbook and their anti-globalist activities. They are our friends
“Communists”= Friendlies. Especially during antiwar protests. They may protest Obama, but this is because they feel that he is not moving far enough to the left. They are our best allies, however.
Iraq/Afghanistan war Veterans: Consider potential threats.
It is hard to believe, but the Dims and Obama actually believe this.
