Congratulations! You May Already Be A Terrorist!

Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment

While there is no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are planning acts of violence, such acts could come from unnamed "rightwing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, abortion, increasing federal power and restrictions on firearms -- and singled out returning war veterans as susceptible to recruitment.

Do you believe that government policies are immoral and infringe on individual liberty? That gun control violates your rights? That the government is violating the principles of the Constitution? That the government violates the principles of your religion? If so, the government already considers you a terrorist and wants you under surveillance.

Do you believe gun control is a way to remove our ability to protect ourselves?  Do you believe the Bill of Rights protects God-given rights, as opposed to granting rights from the government?  Do you believe U.S. sovereignty is threatened by the actions and actors at the United Nations?  

Questions and Ideas you should think to yourself:

Ø You should realize you are a terrorist before anyone gets hurt

Ø You will not receive a reward if you turn yourself in

Ø Did you attend a right-wing protest called a “Tea-Party?”

Congratulations.  You might be a domestic terrorist.

* It goes without saying that holding any or all of the opinions mentioned above doesn't make you a terrorist.  But according to some, these beliefs may indicate you're a terrorist.  In fact, it might be enough to make you a "suspected terrorist."  And, under legislation proposed by Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, and opinions held by Janet Napolitano (head of The Department of Homeland Security) and President-Elect Obama, you may already be a terrorist, and not even know it!

2) "The Promise of German/American life is to be fulfilled -- not merely by a maximum amount of economic freedom, but by a certain measure of discipline; not merely by the abundant satisfaction of individual desires, but by a large measure of individual subornation and self-denial....The automatic fulfillment of the American/German national Promise is to be abandoned, if at all, precisely because the traditional German/American confidence in individual freedom has resulted in a morally and socially undesirable distribution of wealth."

3) "It combats the selfish spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility."

4) "So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other."
