House Republicans pilloried Obama's National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis for his handling of national park and land closures during the government shutdown, raising questions about whether the agencys reputation has been sullied by images of landmarks being barricaded to keep the American people off their own land. A tense joint hearing of the House oversight and natural-resource committees took place Wednesday following allegations that the NPS and its rangers had allowed themselves to become a political arm of the Obama administration, erecting the barriers to score political points and remind Americans of the primacy of government stewardship.

The National Park Service failed to say that America-hating Obama, and criminal WH crew, consider military-trained vets as potential terrorists. Obama, and his criminal WH crew, considered military-trained vets as potential terrorists.
Then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano revealed Obama's intentions---classifying the military as domestic terror threats. Unbelievably, Obama hatched a plan to search the homes of military when terror threats surfaced.

Judicial Watch obtained the DOD documents in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) filed on April 8, 2013. The FOIA requested Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.
Included in the 133 pages of lesson plans and PowerPoint slides provided by the Air Force is a January 2013 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute student guide entitled Extremism. The document says that it is for training purposes only and do not use on the job. Highlights include:
The document defines extremists as a person who advocates the use of force or violence; advocates supremacist causes based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or national origin; or otherwise engages to illegally deprive individuals or groups of their civil rights.
A statement that Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states rights, and how to make the world a better place.
[W]hile not all extremist groups are hate groups, all hate groups are extremist groups.
Under a section labeled Extremist Ideologies the document states, In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.
In this same section, the document lists the 9/11 attack under a category of Historical events.
[A]ctive participation with regard to extremist organizations is incompatible with military service and, is therefore prohibited. [Emphasis in original]
The document details the seven stages of hate and sixteen extremists traits.
The SPLC is listed as a resource for information on hate groups and referenced several times throughout the guide.
Of the five organizations besides the SPLC listed as resources, one is an SPLC project (Teaching Tolerance) and one considers any politically or socially conservative movement to be a potential hate group (Political Research Associates).
Other than a mention of 9/11 and the Sudan, there is no discussion of Islamic extremism.
Some how the link doesn’t work.
Anyone have the correct link?
Democrats are evil.
Tha is the correct link but it’s dated-——the CSM probably took it down.
Probably posted elsewhere——try a search.

Behold what "Smart Power" hath wrought: Obama's careening and incomprehensible handling of the Syrian crisis.....doing a Costa Concordia with US ntl security and foreign policy. Obama outed himself as naive, isolated....and outlandishly stupid.
Not to forget then-Secy of State Hillary's part in the "Smart Power" debacle.
Democrats' 'Smart Power' Lies in Ruins; Suddenly
Realizing What They Miscalculated About the World:
Everything
National Review | Sept 3, 2013 | Jim Geraghty / FR Posted by kristinn
....... Democrats are suddenly realizing that their foreign policy brain-trust completely misjudged the world. Being nicer to countries like Russia will not make them nicer to you. The United Nations is not an effective tool for resolving crises. Some foreign leaders are beyond persuasion and diplomacy. There is no international community ready to work together to solve problems, and there probably never will be.
You can pin this on Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Susan Rice, but most of all, the buck stops with the Halfrican. Those of us who scoffed a bit at a state senator ascending to the presidency within four years on a wave of media hype and adoration are not quite so shocked by this current mess.
We never bought into this notion that getting greater cooperation from our allies, and less hostility from our enemies, was just a matter of giving this crew the wheel and letting them practice, as Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared it, smart power (and fronted Time magazine cover).
(These people cant even label a foreign policy approach without reminding us of how highly they think of themselves.)
They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didnt see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs.
No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough. (Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...

SMART POWER IN ACTION (/SNIX) Why did Hillary and Obama use US personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya? Had they ever made that a main point of their foreign policy? Its about the money. Thats why they are fighting so hard to keep this covered up. What are all the soccer Moms and college kids going to say when they find out the Democrat leaders kill for money?
“The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule”
Isn’t that unbelievable?
The modern military equates the Founding Fathers and Revolutionaries with “extremism”.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS SHUTDOWN OF NATIONAL PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND PUBLIC LANDS
Yup——that move by the America-hater got a lot of unfavorable attention.
This kind of sick thinking occupied our WH for eight long years.
Bkmrk.

Easier to say definition of extremist is anyone who doesn’t love Big Brother

Interesting stuff. But I wouldn’t equate the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute to be representative of the military. This reads like some suck-up, fat-ass Air Force colonel writing leftist garbage in hope that the racist Obuma would give him a general’s star.
Comments from Judicial Watch would help shed light on this.
What did Gen Kelly know and why did he put up with it?
WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) The museums that draw millions of visitors to the National Mall closed their doors Tuesday, memorials were barricaded and trash will go uncollected in the nations most-visited national park due to the first government shutdown in 17 years.
Visitors found locked doors, black metal barricades and yellow caution tape blocking entrances to popular tourist attractions just hours after the shutdown. Fountains at the World War II Memorial were shut off.
Why the heck does this have to be closed? said Deb Cavender, 44, of Ames, Iowa, as she and her husband were making their way toward the memorial.
