The readers may have noticed my flurry of commentaries about Americans being labeled as “right wing extremists”. Yes, I was having some fun with the goofy report issued by DHS and Janet Napolitano, as well as the report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that had been compiled with the assistance of DHS. Why you may ask? Because as Ricky Ricardo used to say on the “I Love Lucy” show, “It is jusssst soooo ridulous”.
Let’s recap what to look for in a potential “right wing extremist” according to a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism. This report had been compiled with the assistance of DHS:
quote from an article discussing the memo:
"Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The 'Missouri Documents' also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!" ALIPAC wrote. It said the report cited the Southern Poverty Law Center as a resource.
You have to be kidding me , right? Let’s take a sample of some of the “indicators” in the memo, and ponder how many average hard working law abiding Americans might be concerned about these topics:
unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, high costs of living.
And THAT is why I have been having a field day with this topic.
Any readers interested in becoming a card carrying “right wing extremist” can apply here.

Since Gun Shy just linked to two "alternative media sources" (also on the watch list) I guess that makes me an extremist now as well. See how easy it is!
Here is a bonus alternative media sight, just to secure my newly acquired status.
