I'm a Rightwing Extremist

I had no idea I was extremist. A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed "right-wing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats. If you can answer “yes” to any of the questions below, the Government considers you a rightwing nut job:

  • Have you been laid-off?
  • Are you pro-life?
  • Do you own a firearm?
  • Have you purchased ammo lately?
  • Do you grow your own food or buy in bulk?
  • Are you concerned about illegal immigration?
  • Are you concerned about threats from foreign terrorists?
  • Are you a Christian?
  • Have you ever been in the military?
  • Do you now, or have you ever, lived in a rural area?
  • Are you white?
  • Do you think the federal government is out of control?

The report released by the Department of Homeland Security should scare the hell out of every American who loves this country. Since when did the Constitution become a subversive manifesto?
