VIDEO: Glenn Beck returned to the airwaves on Thursday after a short absence to have an emergency appendectomy. At the top of Glenn's list was the political correctness run amok in the Left's hellbent, politically correct urge to describe the Fort Hood terrorist as anything but "extremist". It's pathetic how the Left, including the president, can "jump to conclusions" about every imaginary, far-fetched possible motive, except the most obvious: He was an extremist, Muslim terrorist!

Neo-Nazis took to the streets in Arizona and Minnesota this weekend, a new boldness that officials say echoes the homegrown terrorism of the 1990s. James Verini talks to the extremists leading the charge. A year after President Obama's election, hate groups are feeling bolder than they have in over a decade, and their usually insular anger is beginning to spill into the public realm. This weekend, the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization, held rallies in Arizona and Minnesota. Those demonstrations came on the heels of similar actions in Southern California, where epithet-spewing white supremacists were forced to disband by...

Divisive Debate by Dr. Joe Douglas As a physician I have talked with people about how they want to be treated at the end of their lives. If they knew they were dying, how much would they want done? Would they want to be at home or at a hospital or in a nursing or hospice facility? How much chemotherapy, resuscitation, diagnostic tests, feeding tubes, etc., would they want? At some point would they just want to be kept from suffering?I also want to be able to have this sort of conversation for myself. I want eventually to be allowed...

DoD Training Manual: Protests are "Low-Level Terrorism"JUNE 14, 2009 7:35PM The Department of Defense is training all of its personnel in its current Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course that political protest is "low-level terrorism." The Training introduction reads as follows: "Anti-terrorism (AT) and Force Protection (FP) are two facets of the Department of Defense (DoD) Mission Assurance Program. It is DoD policy, as found in DoDI 2000.16, that the DoD Components and the DoD elements and personnel shall be protected from terrorist acts through a high pirority, comprehensive, AT program. The DoD's AT program shall be all...

Taking the pulse of extremist groupsIs domestic terrorism on the rise? Is there a trend in the recent violence? Experts on the subject disagree. By Bob Drogin June 12, 2009 Reporting from Silver Spring, Md. -- A day after an anti-Semite allegedly shot and killed a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, experts disagreed about whether it was an isolated event or the latest sign of a growing threat by domestic hate groups. The danger appeared to come from two directions: far-right fanatics who feed on domestic conspiracy theories and Muslim extremists who oppose U.S. policies...

“All I know is my gut says maybe.” - The President of the Neutral Planet from Futurama One of the most common misconceptions about Moderates is that they are neutral, appeasing, weak, indifferent, apathetic, or a host of other soft-sounding adjectives. Perhaps when one thinks of a Moderate, they immediately imagine someone who doesn’t take a stand on any issue. Perhaps they think of one more concerned about being liked than about doing what is right. Perhaps they think of one who is easily swayed by the changing winds of public opinion. If you found yourself agreeing with any of...

I just can’t help being fascinated by government and politics. Despite the many flaws inherent to any political system, I love observing how people choose their leaders, and how those leaders in turn design and promote policies and programs which, in theory, exist to promote the general welfare. It is also intriguing to watch how people react to these policies. We are all aware that public reaction to political issues is seldom pretty. No matter the policy, there is some group which takes offense. Every issue has an extreme application, and to adapt the words of Sir Isaac Newton: “for...

JERUSALEM – A top U.S. radio talk show host has become the subject of an Islamist Internet death threat, WND has learned. Rusty Humphries, whose show is broadcast on over 250 stations through Talk Radio Network, was the target of the tirade, posted on a blog powered by Google entitled, "The Jew Report." Humphries is an outspoken critic of Islamic terrorism and a strong supporter of the U.S.-led war on terror. The author of the online threat apparently confused Humphries for Rusty Shackleford, the pseudonym used by the proprietor of the popular My Pet JAWA Report website, which focuses on...

Barack Obama made an unwise commitment during his campaign. Actually he made quite a number of them, but this column will have to settle for dealing with just one: Candidate Obama promised to deliver a major speech to the Muslim world from a Muslim capital. On June 4, President Obama will make good on that promise in Cairo. What could go wrong with this heartwarming outreach? Begin with this question: Does the president regard Salman Rushdie and Ayaan Hirsi Ali as belonging to the Muslim world, yes or no? If yes – if “the Muslim world” includes everyone who happens...

SPLiCing the Facts by: Bethany Stotts, May 08, 2009 The mainstream media should reevaluate where it gets its source material on hate crimes, and soon. In my article, “Right-Wing Extremism Explored,” I wrote that the oft-criticized Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report was “influenced by the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).” David E. Smith, Executive Director of the Illinois Family Institute (IFI), asked this correspondent what role the SPLC played in such profiling, since his own organization was listed as a “hate group” by the SPLC for being “anti-gay.” While the SPLC may be embraced by mainstream media outlets...

A Louisiana driver has been stopped and detained for having a "Don't Tread on Me" bumper sticker on his vehicle and warned by a police officer about the "subversive" message it sent, according to the driver's relative. The situation developed in the small town of Ball, La., where a receptionist at the police department told WND she knew nothing about the traffic stop, during which the "suspect" was investigated for "extremist" activities, the relative said. It followed by only a few weeks the release of a Department of Homeland Security "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in...

This product provides definitions for key terms and phrases that often appear in DHS analysis that addresses the nature and scope of the threat that domestic, non-Islamic extremism poses to the United States.

SNIPPET: "White schoolboys from less well-off backgrounds in Birmingham are in danger of being recruited by far right groups as they grow increasingly disaffected, it has been claimed." SNIPPET: "The head teacher of Colmers School in Rednal, Peter Jones, called on Birmingham to take a lead in tackling the issue during a meeting of Birmingham City Council’s education scrutiny committee. And Nigel Baker, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers in Birmingham, warned: “Areas like yours are also breeding grounds for extremism for right wing parties.” Council officers at the meeting acknowledged that “extremist attitudes” existed in areas...

The head of the Homeland Security agency responsible for a controversial report that suggested veterans were being recruited to commit terrorist acts in the U.S. is being replaced by a former FBI and CIA official. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced in a statement late Thursday afternoon that the White House intends to nominate Phillip Mudd as undersecretary for Intelligence and Analysis. Mr. Mudd is a 24-year career FBI official, who currently serves as the associate executive assistant director of the Bureau's national security branch. He replaces Roger Mackin, who was appointed to the post in September by then-Secretary Michael...

looking for a sticker I saw online somewhere "extremist inside" (with the Intel symbol) ...about 3" X 3" anyone know where to find it or create one? I must have one for my VW. thanks, Wobbly Bob

While the rest of us may be worried about violent Mexican drug gangs on our border, or about terrorists who are going to be released from Guantanimo, the Director of Homeland Security is worried about "right-wing extremists." Just who are these right-wing extremists? According to an official document of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, right-wing extremists include "groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration." It also includes those "rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority." If you fit into any of these categories, you may not...

I confess; I am a domestic right-wing extremist. As I read the Law Enforcement Sensitive Information (LES) from the Department of Homeland Security, I realized that the innocuous white van parked across the street isn’t the milkman. Superficially, my family fits the DHS domestic terrorist profile--not the sleeper-cell Islamic extremists, but the target-shooting, Bible-toting, baby-loving, troop-cheering, tax-paying, God and country types. A quick scan of the document makes us likely surveillance candidates. DHS provides law enforcement with a handy checklist.

Greetings fellow South Florida riders, South Floridians, and Americans, here we are for another monthly installment of our Wheels on the Road political assessment. Just have to tell you, I am freaking mad as hell and implore you all to not take this anymore. If this means I shall be castigated as a “right wing extremist” so be it. Today I received an email containing a story on the US Department of Homeland Security unclassified report, dated 7 April, titled, “Right-wing extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”. Now most of the mainstream media is...

A secret police intelligence unit has been set up to spy on Left-wing and Right-wing political groups. The Confidential Intelligence Unit (CIU) has the power to operate across the UK and will mount surveillance and run informers on ‘domestic extremists’. Its job is to build up a detailed picture of radical campaigners. Targets will include environmental groups involved in direct action such as Plane Stupid, whose supporters invaded the runway at Stansted Airport in December. The unit also aims to identify the ring-leaders behind violent demonstrations such as the recent anti-Israel protests in London, and to infiltrate neo-Nazi groups, animal...

WASHINGTON – The economic crisis that will dominate Barack Obama's first 100 days as president, and beyond, will give him a rare chance to enact big portions of his agenda that otherwise might have languished for months or years. Not since Franklin D. Roosevelt has a new president been poised to pack so many ambitious, costly — and, under more normal circumstances, highly contentious — projects into one fast-moving bill. As in 1933, a frightening economic collapse makes the quick political work possible, choking off longer debates and possible opposition that many of the initiatives would have faced in better...

How low will they go?? As low as laser blinding Greek Police: "A riot policeman is aimed at with a laser light pointer during riots outside the Athens Polytechnic. Small bands of Greek rioters hurling firebombs attacked an environment ministry building, shops and banks in Athens on Saturday during an eighth day of protests following the killing of a teenager by police." And that's not all: "A warning from Serb intelligence about the mobilization of an extremist Islamic organization in Greece has put the Greek authorities on high alert. Several days ago, Serb intelligence briefed a Serb parliamentary Committee that...

Three weeks ago, I blogged here about the darkly hilarious conspiracy theories bouncing around the blogosphere about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born Citizen" eligible to serve as president. Speaking to an unsubstantiated "what if he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii?" I said that it seemed the relevant statutes governing foreign-born offspring of one citizen and one alien parent were on Obama's side. I based that quickly drawn conclusion on the reading of the statutes provided to the Chicago Tribune by UCLA law prof Eugene Volokh. He has now offered a correction, saying he misread the law...

Today is the publication date of the new edition of his book Fugitive Days, and now that the election is over, Ayers has chosen to speak out in his own defense in the pages of a democratic socialist newsweekly, In These Times. By choosing this vehicle, Ayers is skillfully engaging in his own sanitized rewriting of history. His effort is to paint himself as just another honest dissenter, a man whose valiant socialist principles have caused the media to unfairly demonize him as a terrorist. All he did in his memoir, he writes, is to go back to those “exhilarating...

Rahm Emanuel: The House Rahm Built FROM THE ARCHIVES: Rahm Emanuel was seething. He was hurtling down an asphalt road in upstate New York on the 47th trip of his ferocious campaign to win back the House. A lecture, even from his friend James Carville, was the last thing he needed. Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg telling him he had to make each of his handpicked candidates shift from attack mode and strike a conciliatory note in their final campaign ads. "James. No James, YOU LISTEN," Emanuel barked into a cell phone, about to release a string of profane invectives...

“About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze”; ”by mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed”; “more than 500,000 were displaced”. Supporters of Raila Odinga led the violence.

Barack Obama's campaign is flatly denying a story told by former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, who cast an ex-Black Panther turned Muslim businessman and lecturer as a key Obama mentor but whose story seems off in at least one key detail. Sutton's story, told in what NY1 said was a March 25 interview, has been lighting up the conservative blogs for the last week. Sutton, now in his late 80s and mostly off the public stage, told NY1's Dominic Carter that he was asked to write a letter of recommendation to Harvard Law School on Obama's behalf by a...

This story is almost certain to get some attention, or at least it should. Some are calling it a thinly veiled ‘anti-Christian’ attack, provoking sentiments that demonize Christians and Evangelicals. A recent episode of the series Bonekickers displayed what many are calling graphic images of a moderate Muslim being beheaded by a supposed “extremist Christian”. It’s being reported that BBC1 has received seveeral telephone complaints from it’s viewers over the episode and earlier this week the corporation stated they ‘regret’ viewers had found the scene ‘inappropriate’, but defended their decision to show it. Viewers were apparently shocked when actor Paul...

I wanted to share a couple of observations about the Wright / Obama train wreck that I'm not sure have been addressed by the media. Mort Knodrake (Fox News), among others, recently commented that there are only two explanations for the fact that Obama spent the last twenty years filling a pew in Wright's Church and putting large checks in the collection plate: 1. Obama is hoplessly naive and in spite of a twenty + year close personal relationship with Wright, Obama was nevertheless clueless about the nature of the man, or 2. Obama knew from the beginning what Wright...

A feminist author is to rewrite her autobiography after she was forced to flee from Muslim extremists who placed a bounty on her head. Taslima Nasreen, 45, a former doctor, said today that she hoped that the move would appease fundamentalist groups and end a controversy that forced her to leave Calcutta last week. Ms Nasreen had claimed that the religious references in Dwikhandito, which means Divided, are sourced from “universally accepted” books on Islamic history. Today she relented under pressure and said that “controversial lines” relating to Islam from the autobiographical novel would be removed. “The book was written...

Maldives clears out 'extremist' mosque By Ajay Makan in Male and Peter Foster, South Asia Correspondent Last Updated: 2:30am BST 09/10/2007 The Maldives government has moved to tackle the rising threat of Islamist radicalism as 300 troops surrounded and then cleared an illegal mosque that had been accused of fomenting extremism on the paradise islands. The move came a week after a British honeymoon couple were badly burned in the Maldives's first ever terrorist bomb attack which has threatened to damage the international tourist industry on which the islands' economy depends. A soldier was taken seriously wounded and a policeman...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 2007 – Iraqi security forces detained a militant extremist leader and one of his subordinate leaders during an early morning raid yesterday in southern Babil Province, military officials reported. The suspected terrorist is directly involved in the majority of terrorist acts in Hillah and mortar attacks on coalition bases and the Regional Embassy Office. Iraqi citizens have reported that he leads militias to assassinate locals and has recruited a sniper with training in Iran to target Iraqi police and Iraqi army soldiers. In other operations over the past several days: -- Scouts from the 6th Iraqi Army...

Pro-Israel group scrambling to organize last-minute counter-demonstration in Washington DC Yaakov Lappin Published: 06.07.07, 16:14 / Israel News A pro-Israel group is scrambling to organize a last-minute response to a large anti-Israel rally being organized in Washington DC for June 10, Ynetnews has learned. Stand With US, based in California, has described a protest scheduled to be held against "the occupation" as in fact being "a rally for the dissolution of the State of Israel." The anti-Israel protest, which is expected to attract thousands, has been organized by the United for Peace and Justice group, the Muslims American Society Freedom...

A bookstore run by the Bible Society in the Gaza Strip was bombed early Sunday, in an attack by a suspected Muslim 'vice-squad.' Two Internet cafes were also badly damaged, although no one was hurt in the early morning attack. A relatively unknown extremist Islamic organization called the "Swords of Truth" has claimed responsibility for a recent string of similar attacks on Internet cafes and music shops Gaza has a small Christian Arab community among an increasingly Islamicised Muslim majority. Jerusalem Newswire contributed to this report.

Yesterday, cheap David Letterman look-alike and Miami Vice-wardrobed Brigadier General Robert Holmes--one of the top Generals at Central Command--gushed over Muslim Arab extremists he met with in Dearbornistan. And you--the American taxpayer--paid for the trip. It's very important that we involve Arab Americans. Arab Americans play a huge role today, and play a very important role in where we have got to go. But Holmes didn't meet with Christian Arab leaders in town. Instead, he carefully chose only the most extremist Muslim Arabs in town--the ones who openly endorse terrorist groups and homicide bombings. Brig. Gen. Holmes met with Osama...

FBI and DHS says “Parents have nothing to worry about.” As a parent of a kid who rides the bus, now is really the time to know who’s driving your kids’ school bus and if his name is Osama, Muhammad, or Mahmoud I would really start to worry. WASHINGTON - Suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman says, “Parents and Children have nothing to fear”. The bulletin, parts of which were read to The Associated Press, did not...

“We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.” – “About Us” Page, Trinity United Church of Christ Website. On February 20, 2007, a column of mine entitled Obamination appeared in the New Media Journal. The piece exposed black separatist doctrines within Trinity United Church of Christ, which Democrat presidential contender Barack Obama and his family attend. As a result of the column, the issue has “grown legs”, as they say, in several areas. Last week, it resulted in my being invited on several talk radio programs to discuss my...

"As many of you know, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has attacked Stuck Mojo by falsely claming that “Open Season” advocates violence against all Muslims. This is patently false.

ust came across this article “Extremist lawyer wants flag of Islam on Leinster House“. The Islamofacists are more than happy to have the “useful idiots” of the left and their politically correct nonsense as an excuse. God forbid we hurt their feelings, they may have to behead us. This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever heard, of course we aren’t really dealing with sane people here, are we?

Democrats and liberal judges say terrorists have the same rights as you. Democrats will impeach President Bush for spying on terrorists. Democrats will cancel the Patriot Act, terrorists surveillance and missile defense programs. Stop obstruction and the filibuster. Vote for a Republican majority! If you're not an extremist, you're not a democrat. Take the red pill (R). Take the blue pill (D). VOTE!

In football, the timing play is a thing of beauty. The quarterback takes the snap and drops back in the pocket counting seconds in his head, looking anywhere except the direction he plans to throw. At about the count of three he aims at a spot downfield and throws. If it works, the receiver gets there exactly when the ball does. In politics, the timing play is less beautiful but just as important, as the media proved in 2000 and 2004.

RABAT, Morocco - Little would seem to connect a soldier, a shopkeeper, airline pilots' wives and a woman known for helping people in need. But all have been named as suspects in a purported Islamic terrorist plot, suggesting extremism may be leaping Morocco's class divides. In all, Moroccan authorities arrested 56 people last month for allegedly being part of a network that was planning attacks on military and tourist sites in hopes of bringing down the government of this North African monarchy. Since the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States and suicide bombings two years later that killed 33...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2006 – A Taliban suicide bomber detonated an explosive strapped to his body today during the funeral ceremony for the late governor of Afghanistan’s Paktia province, Mohammad Hakim Taniwal, U.S. military officials reported. As family, friends, colleagues and government officials paid their last respects to Taniwal in Khowst province, the suicide bomber approached the funeral and detonated the explosive, killing six people, including two Afghan National Police officers, and injuring more than 35 civilians. Religious leaders condemned the attack, officials said. Coalition forces responded immediately and transported the injured to the Khowst hospital, where they are being...

Far too many people in the public eye mischaracterize the acts of terrorists and other villains as inconsistent with “mainstream” Islam, as a “corruption of the faith.” While this belief is comforting, especially to those who know, work with, or must obtain cooperation from non-violent Muslims, it is historically and theologically ignorant. ... Ignoring the expected outpouring of complaints from apologists for jihad terror who cynically decried (for example here and here), any“Islamic” references, or other less pressing semantic concerns ( “Islamism” versus “Islamic fascism”), the Washington Times editorial, indirectly, raises this critical question: just what comprises “mainstream” Islam (“of...

Muslim extremist admits he was spy who revealed Canada bomb plot By Toby Harnden (Filed: 16/07/2006) Muslim leaders in Canada have reacted with fury after a radical advocate of Sharia law revealed that he had been a government spy who helped to uncover an alleged al-Qaeda plot, writes Toby Harnden. Mubin Shaikh, 29, came forward to confirm that he was recruited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the country's equivalent of MI5, and directed a 10-day winter training course in guerrilla tactics. During the course, which Mr Shaikh set up in a field in the remote village of Washago,...

WASHINGTON, July 7, 2006 – Villagers captured an extremist who threw a grenade into a mosque in the village of Showbi in the Tere Zayi district of Afghanistan's Khost province today during prayer, military officials reported.
