I'm surprised that it took this long to close an obvious gap in our anti-terror defenses.

The U.S. Justice Department is considering legal changes to combat what it sees as a rising threat from domestic anti- Obama Admin voters

Did you forget your sarcasm tag or are you ignorant of who is truly being targeted here?

This issue runs afoul of free speech, until such time as the designated group actually acts as terrorists.

The idea is, on its face, unconstitutional, and is extremely dangerous. Consider that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will likely be the preferred source for terrorist designation - and they have already designated just about every conservative leaning group in the nation as terrorists, including Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” group (forgive me if my memory of the group name is faulty).

The story makes it fairly clear who is being targeted (domestic seditionists and terrorists).

Demonrat administrations always make war on Americans who just want to be left alone.

Of course it’s sarcasm. Sarcasm tags are for ignorants only.

And who do liberals think are terrorists? Why, conservative activists.

You really need to come up to speed on the antics of Obama's DHS.

Well, Planned Parenthood is an extremely dangerous organization if you are under a certain size.

Is it? I asked a legitimate question to understand the posters motives and/or understanding of what the article really means. Gave the OP the benefit of the doubt until they removed it.

Why don’t you do us all a favor and read the reply to me and decide for yourself who the truly ignorant and naive one is here?

And note that the OP now appears to have gone to ground after some other posters are on to it.

This is what you hear when the Democrats are in charge.

Four people are tying up a government outhouse in nowhere Oregon and the government goes crazy.

People gunned down on an Army Post by a Moslem screaming “Allah akhbar!”, and it’s just an unhappy employee.

Children murdered and people’s legs blown off in Boston are just some youthful antics.

And Occupy Boston and Occupy New York and BLM are reasonable civil rights groups.

Aimed at the elderly, handicapped, white males, small children, Christians, Jews, and the Amish.

Easiest way for men to bypass security is to grow a beard, wear a loose fitting white gown, and some sort of bizarre head cover ... and sport a koran ... For women, just cover up and follow behind the man ... any man.

You can be sure that the day after it’s signed FR will be designated a terrorist group, and anyone who ever donated twenty bucks online will have a SWAT team at the door.

Bill Ayers told an informant back in the day the plan was to send at least 20 million of us to re-education camps, and kill the ones who do not get with the program.
