I agree. I find it troubling that nothing has been done about this to date, and I would like to understand the reasons for that.

From the CNN article linked above “Radical Islam, whether abroad or homegrown, represents a serious threat to the safety and security of Americans. But right-wing extremism did not disappear after September 11. Its history since the Oklahoma City bombing has consisted of a steady stream of plots, conspiracies, terrorist acts, and hate crimes. It, too, represents a serious threat.

In fact, in recent years, violence from the extreme right has again surged—and at levels reminiscent of the dark days of the 1990s. From 1995 through 2000, according to statistics from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, right-wing extremists were responsible for at least 47 different terrorist acts, conspiracies or plots.

However, during the past six years, from 2009 through 2014, right-wing extremists in the U.S. were involved in at least 42 actual or attempted terrorist acts.

In other words, right-wing violence today is actually at or very close to levels during the days of the Oklahoma City bombing.”
