Anti-Government

Newsweek had an article up on antigovernment violence: Texas Plane Crash Only Latest in String of Violent Antigovernment Incidents. I had been actively avoiding reading too much about right-wing nuts for a while, even though Dave Neiwert and company are great writers, I feel sick every time I read Orcinus. But given the recent subjects I have been writing about, I decided to take another look at this topic.

In April 2009, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment to a rabid response from the right.

Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons.
These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist
individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and
extremist members of the militia movement.

...

The FBI noted in a 2008 report on the white supremacist movement
that some returning military veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have
joined extremist groups.

Claims of bias from the "Obama DHS" [note: the investigation was ordered and most of the work was completed during the Bush Administration] poured from sources ranging from those considered mainstream voices of the right, such as Michelle Malkin and the New York Post, to members of the extreme right such as David Duke and Stormfront (I will not link to those groups).

We know what to expect from those people. But what about the Catholic News Agency? I don't think I really need to comment on these excerpts from comments to the linked article:

For pro lifers to be targeted by a govt agency as potential terrorists shows the dangerous direction this country is headed in.
Odd, isn't it, that Obama has totally disdained the Churches teaching, is willing to talk to those who would kill Americans, but has made absolutely no effort to have an open discussion with the pro life people. (Kind of like Fr. Jenkins at ND.)
Don't kid yourself, they know full well what they're doing. They're so deeply ingrained in Alinsky tactics and goals that everyone who isn't in lock step is considered an "enemy" and must be eliminated whatever it takes.

Our Blessed Mother has been warning and preparing us. We need to remain faithful, in prayer, and trusting in Him alone. In the end, as Fr. Corapi says "We win!!"

Homeland security is nothing but Hitler's dream coming back to haunt freedom loving Americans. The US constitution means nothing to Obama and his radical/socialist cohorts and their commi/socialist movement in early 21st century

I AM PRO-LIFE
therefore
I AM ON THE HOMELAND SECURITY 'WATCHLIST'

What do American citizens expect from former DHS head, Michael Chertoff, who hired communist ex-East German Stasi head, Markus Wolf; and communist ex-Soviet KGB head, Gen. Y. Primikov to set up our newfangled police state. Remember Mr. Chertoff, the very one who got the "Dancing Israelis" (who were arrested while celebrating, dancing, high-fiving and filming the burning towers and the mass murder on 9/11 AS IT OCCURRED, which indicates foreknowledge) RELEASED from custody and sent back to their mommies in Israel. The naughty boys.

The ADL and SPLC are behind this report. The reason pro-life activists are included with "white supremacists" is because they are both considered "enemies of the Jews".

I thinking i heard that the KKK and Margrate Sanger where inchoots and killing black babies, not the prolifers.

Poor Des. You're gonna make your brain explode if you keep reading the drivel coming from the Catholic News Agency. And even the comments, too? Oy.

I know. I'm a glutton for punishment. As a recovering Catholic (truth is, I even wore a cross until about 2003), I feel like most Jews. While I have yet to meet a Jew who is also a believer, I sympathize with those atheists who consider themselves cultural Jews. So I pop in once in a while on various Catholic websites. As the saying goes, you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.

It's interesting that you bring up the term "cultural Jew," because I've been growing less and less comfortable about referring to myself that way. Yes, genetically I'm an Eastern European Semite, and my ancestors practiced Judaism. I have a lot in common with some other people who were raised in a Jewish-influenced household. But, as I've gotten older, I've grown to think that "Jew" is a uniquely religious term, not a national or ethnic one -- except when used by bigots. What I am, culturally, is a "New Yawker." I have far more in common with other people who grew up in my hometown (particularly those who were raised in the Bronx), regardless of their ethnicity, than I do with, say, Southern Jews. I would never just say "no," if someone asked me "Are you Jewish?" But I'd wind up giving them an explanation and a qualification that would probably bore them shitless. As a corollary: I don't think one can be a cultural Catholic. Italian Catholics, for example, are very different from Polish Catholics, who are, in turn, a world apart from Irish Catholics. So where's the part of the "Catholic culture" that isn't firmly rooted in religious practices? You may not be able to take the trailer park out of the girl, but you can certainly watch her outgrow her childish superstititions.

In Richard Feynman's writings, he might speak of "that's between you and your Rabbi," where a Baptist would say "Parson," (or something like that) and I would say "Priest." But even as I type this, it seems a little more nonsensical
