We need more people in government like this Commissioner Tim Sheldon and more reporters & columnists like Pam.

An official government document questioning the legitimate political disagreements and beliefs of citizens is extremely worrisome.

It's BHO practicing Alinsky destructive-politicking against "the main enemy" -- the People of the United States.

“’Right Wing Extremist’ Document is Alarming”

Nah. It’s the same old left-wing attempt to villify the opposition and it’s the same old tactic used by all the countless, totalitarian, psychotic punks who have ever lived.

The only difference is that these are distinctly
American-born punks who legitimize and hide their psychosis behind the obnoxious Democrat party.

IMHO

The DHS was supposedly created to make us safe from the enemies of this country who want us dead. How did this Government Agency become so concerned about ordinary U.S. Citizens and not concerned at all about Islamic Fascists and violence from Illegal Aliens?

DHS is the department that never should have been.

This document is what is known as a “White Paper.”

[Just mythoughts]

Groups like the Ku Klux Klan and skinhead organizations like the Hammerskin Nation are rightly identified in the definition of "rightwing extremism", but so are groups " ... rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority ... and groups and individuals ... dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

Personally I take issue with the notion that there is anything on the right or right with the above named groups. And it seems to me it is a well promoted myth that immigration is opposed. We have an invasion of illegals that is sanctioned by high minded lawless people.

I am against the KKK or this 'Hammerskin Nation' (first I have read/heard of such group) having any association with being 'right'. I find Bama and the majority in both houses of Congress very very 'extreme' and in the process of shredding the very Constitution that has from our inception been the standard that assures freedom in this great nation.

What I find all extreme groups have in common is the usage of 'fear' to extort from a free people power and authority they never were given authority to have. They are like a thief that robs first one and then all those 'rights' our founders were given the wisdom to know and declare .... the unalienable 'rights' endowed by the Creator to US (citizens) life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. NOT bondage and bended knee to some surrogate.

Such as those who believe in the US Constitution's 10th Amendment.

Only in the mind of a liberal is the US Constitution considered right wing extremism.

I have just returned from a tour in Afghanistan only to find that I am now considered a potential ‘terrorist’ by the DHS...

Meanwhile REAL terrorists from the left wing (ELF/ALF/PETA/ANSWER/ACT/ACORN/WWP/Code Pink/et al) and Islam (Jamal al Faqua, AQ, HAMAS, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, etc) are either causing real damage or planning major attacks and they are pointedly IGNORED. Some now receive government funding.

Un-freaking believable... Wait, considering the treason and collusion of the left in the past 8 years, very freaking believable, but still disgusting.

I think it's time for DHS to send out a memo warning that healthcare workers should be watched as potential serial killers /s

I am aware no studies to back it up but my feeling is that no jurisdiction has enough law enforcement officers to protect its citizens. It's been years, decades, since the days when there was a surplus of officers and one would see them sitting in cars at various place just watching and waiting. Here in Tampa there's frequently a delay in dispatching officers to calls that once were considered top priority and would be dispatched in duplicate. Part of my time as a news photographer is spent monitoring the fire department dispatch activity. All too frequently I hear the responding unit being told to “stage”, that is don't go on the scene but wait somewhere until police make sure it's safe. I have heard them having to stage for up to 20 minutes on a gunshot call.

Last year we had a situation where several motorist called to report an obviously impaired driver on a major Tampa street. The city police, county sheriff's office and the Florida Highway Patrol were notified. Calls continued to come in for half-an-hour as the person was reported by motorist after motorist. It ended when the driver had gone two miles or so, the wrong way, on an expressway and collided head-on with another car, killing a mother and her child. In all that time there wasn't sufficient manpower to intercept and stop this driver, even though they knew where he was time and again.

I am not faulting the authorities, there's always more to a story than meets the eye. I cite this event only to underscore the fact that you simply can't depend on them to protect you.
