Conservatives/Religious groups called RightWing ExtremistsFrom CitizenLink.com:http://www.citizenlink.org/content/A000009871.cfm Department of Homeland Security Labels Pro-Lifers as Right-Wing Extremists Conservatives and religious groups across the nation are outraged by a recent report from the Department of Homeland Security that labeled them as right-wing extremists and terrorists. Republican members of the House Committee on Homeland Security have requested a committee hearing and investigation on the report. Some are calling for the resignation of Secretary Janet Napolitano. Gary Bauer, president of American Values, said an investigation is unlikely to go very far with Democrats in charge. “It’s going to be very difficult to get anything done about this outrage," he said, "or about any other issue, unless some of the members of President Obama’s party begin to step up and hold his feet to the fire.” While the Homeland Security Department said it has no evidence to suggest any extremist group is planning violent action in the U.S, its memo included pro-life groups in its definition of right-wing extremists. Dr. Janice Crouse, senior fellow at the Beverly LaHaye Institute, said the department is on a rampage against people with biblical views. She said: “It’s astounding to me in a world where we are fighting extremism of all sorts from terrorists around the nation — including pirates in the seas — that Homeland Security would be concerned about people who are pro-life.” — Roger Greer UPDATE: This document may have been removed because of overwhelming disapproval. I can't get it to come up any longer.Read the full report. http://fota.cdnetworks.net/pdfs/04-24-09_dhs_report.pdf |

Our most formidable fortress of defense in time of stress still remains the Constitution of the United States. But it is only as good as our understanding and defense of the purpose for which it was drafted. Eternal vigilance and personal responsibility are still the price of human liberty.” —James Mussatti, University of Southern California history professor, ceria 1930.
