NAPOLITANO HUNTING ‘RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS’ (A.K.A. TEA Partiers, gun owners, political conservatives, etc.) Guest in Pacific Time
The following is an alert from the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms by its chairman Alan Gottlieb, who is available for Talk Show interviews on the topic of Janet Napolitano's witch hunt of so-called "Rightwing Extremists" (a.k.a. 'Tea Partiers') and the "Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
ALERT: ABC News is reporting that Obama's Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the comments and posts of conservative Americans and gun owners on web sites and within social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Obama You Can Keep the "Change" I Support the Second Amendment.
This raises very serious concerns. This is America, NOT Iran!
The Department of Homeland Security, led by leftist anti-gun rights Secretary Janet Napolitano, has a history of trying to suppress gun owners and conservative opponents of the President.
This latest news with the admission that the Obama Administration is monitoring the comments of Americans should raise concerns about big brother and the security and privacy of individual Americans.
We need to be absolutely sure that the political views of Americans - especially gun owners and those with conservative views critical of the President - are not being monitored for political suppression.
We need to stop this travesty now. We need confidence that gun owners and conservative Americans are not being monitored because of their opinions.
Political suppression MUST Be Stopped -
STOP THE MONITORING OF GUN OWNERS AND CONSERVATIVES:
SEND YOUR FAXES TO CONGRESS NOW!
Last year you may remember the uproar over an official DHS report that Napolitano requested.
It was a formal Federal Government paid report titled: "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
In this report, Obama's Department of Homeland Security said among other things: Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements ... and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to gun control or illegal immigration.
First Obama's federal department sought to tie the word and emotion of "hate" to those who favor state's rights - in essence the form of democracy created by our founding fathers. Secondly, it sought to label as dangerous those who oppose gun control or who favor a crackdown on illegal immigration.
But there is more...
Obama and Napolitano's official report also said: "Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election (Obama's election as President) as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship ... and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment."
So, if you believe in the Second Amendment to the constitution or if you disagree with Obama's policies - you too can be dangerous according to Janet Napolitano and Obama's Department of Homeland Security.
The Obama administration thinks that gun owners and conservatives are more dangerous than terrorists, Napolitano's Department is admitting they are monitoring websites and social media feeds for "increased security."
In light of her past actions it makes one wonder what they are monitoring.
When Napolitano's report came to light last year it was also revealed that it included passages saying the American government should be afraid of returning troops coming back from war.
In effect her report said we should be afraid of veterans. It said, "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat."
Americans should be afraid of our brave men and women returning from combat who could turn on us. That is what Napolitano's report said.
CNN reported that s a result the American Legion's national commander, David K. Rehbein, said in a letter to Napolitano that, "I think it is important for all of us to remember that Americans are not the enemy. The terrorists are."
Her response was to say "I know that some veterans groups were offended by the fact that veterans were mentioned in this assessment, so I apologize for that offense. It was certainly not intended."
However, this apology did not include an apology to the millions of gun owners and conservative American's who did not vote for Obama, who do not support his policies and who are not radical but average, concerned Americans - the same Americans who have attended gun shows, Tea Party protests, events like our Gun Rights Policy Conference or who have supported the NRA.
Now we find out that she and her Department are monitoring website posts and other online social media networks.
Do you remember last summer when the White House attempted to track emails?
The Dallas Morning News had reported the Obama White House government official website called for supporters to track "disinformation" from opponents.
Another report from the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper noted the White House told their supporters "If you get an email …that seems fishy, send it." They then provided a special email address just to track opponents.
The Obama White House has a history of trying to track and suppress political dissent.
The Obama administration has a history of using official government resources to track opponents.
They paid for reports critical of veterans, gun owners and those with conservative political views. They created a program to track messages and email addresses of those opposed to government run health care. Now the administration - the same Department led by Napplitano that issued the anti-conservatives report is admitting to monitoring website posts and social networks.
It is important to ensure this data is not used for political attempts to track opponents.
I think it is important for freedom loving Americans to have a comfort level that the White House will not use official government information to track the views of conservatives and gun owners.
Political suppression MUST Be Stopped!
