By Michelle Malkin  •  May 1, 2009 04:50 PM

If you oppose drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens, you may be a “domestic extremist.”

    (U) anti-immigration extremism: (U//FOUO) A movement of groups or individuals who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, particularly along the U.S. southwest border with Mexico, and who have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism to advance their extremist goals. They are highly critical of the U.S. Government’s response to illegal immigration and oppose government programs that are designed to extend “rights” to illegal aliens, such as issuing driver’s licenses or national identification cards and providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education.

    Emphasis mine. Unless you are engaging in these acts it is absolutely incorrect to say that opposing drivers licenses for illegal immigrants makes you an extremist under this definition.

    I will be you are large OJ and my blue and white checkered Dorthy dress that DHS would view advocating citzens’ arrests of illegals as falling into that definition.

    Someone needs to tell them that “federalism” is a weak central government vs strong state governments. We have had a national government since 1865. The Constitution is based on power based in the states. So the FF are extremists? Am I an extremist for believing in the Constitution and proud of our FFs? I wonder what will happen in the near future. I must hide my beliefs in the Supreme Law and bow to Karl Marx and an Obama USB drive? Maybe I am. I want my America back.

    Last night I watched a gentleman from Maryland, who was a sheriff or chief of police or something, on CSPAN talking about illegal immigration. He made some of the most valid points about securing the border and limiting this influx of crime, disease, drugs and burdens on the local, state and national budgets.

    I guess he’s an extremist.

    Chap,

    Let’s suppose you are right and those conditions must actually be met for someone who thinks like a rational human being to be considered a terrorist. However, if the government wants to silence you or distract the public from arguments that may be contrary to the will of the Democrats, there is a great thing called a Grand Jury. To explain why, you need to understand what a Grand Jury really is. A federal Grand Jury is usually made up of regular folks off the street. They have no idea of the actual nature of the law or what constitutes a crime (legally). A Grand Jury is normally advised of the law by the prosecutor and advised of the act by the arresting Officer. No Defense representation is allowed. A Grand Jury is only handing down an indictment (an official accusation).

    How could a political party benefit from this? Let’s say Citizen X isn’t very happy with the way his elected officials are dealing with uncharged criminal aliens. He decides to start an internet petition to ask the government to do a little more about the problem. The Democrats running the government do nothing, at first, because they know the MSM will call Citizen X a “redneck” and he will go away. But.. He doesn’t go away. He becomes a bit more vocal and winds up on Fox.

    Two days later, an Assistant US Attorney has the Special Agent in Charge for a DHS agency write a criminal complaint and swear it before a judge that Citizen X is advocating terrorism. No defense lawyers present – agent raises his or her hand and says “yes your Honor” – a warrant of arrest is issued. Dems being in charge, the MSM is notified of the precise moment and location the arrest will take place. So, the MSM converge on Citizen X like paparazzi at a Brangelina baby christening. Let the demonization begin!

    Three days later, the Agent and AUSA go before a Grand Jury and tell the tale – next thing you know, a “True Bill” of indictment is handed down. Six months later (the first time a date is available on the docket) the case is dismissed summarily for lack of evidence.

    What has happened? Citizen X – a person who did nothing wrong – has been arrested and indicted for a crime of politics. Citizen X will always be referred to as “Indicted Terrorist Citizen X”(”indicted” sounds so much more evil than “convicted” 90% of people don’t know the difference). Citizen X will have lost his home and likely his family because the legal bills would be staggering. But, the true result (and the only important one for Democrats) is that his argument is discredited, he is broken and suddenly, he isn’t on the highest rated news outlet telling the truth.

    I bring this up because everyone here needs to understand (I’ve been a federal cop for almost 20 years) getting someone arrested and indicted is the easiest thing a prosecutor and police officer can do. The responsibility of being a good police officer is to make sure you don’t abuse your power and ruin good people’s lives.

    The problem is, Democrats don’t care about people who disagree with them. They will stand on your neck and giggle while you choke. I’m not being facetious. This is real world politics. They (unlike the wusses in the GOP) are out to win at any cost. They prove it over and over.

    So, the moral of this shaggy dog is – don’t get caught up in details. Using an organization like DHS to push a political philosophy in an attempt to corner power is pure evil.

    The Devil isn’t in the details – he’s in the perception.

    Well, since OUR gov’t refuses to do so…Someone must, on the peoples behalf. Willingly enabling lawbreakers and encouraging others to violate our sovereignty, sounds like a conspiracy to destroy the United States. When you selectively choose what laws to enforce, ” selective enforcement ” you no longer have ANY claim to ” Protecting and defending ” the U.S. in violation of the oath of office you swore to uphold. Therefore, the ” extremists ” are the officials who violated their oaths of office. Using ” violent means ” to enforce laws the recognized elements of government swore to uphold is not extreme…It’s merely the expected response to a failure to obey the law by our elected officials. If they were truly worried about it, they would tell the Pres. of Mexico that his concerns are not ours. We, the people want Illegal Aliens gone…All of them. Let’s use Mexican Immigration Law and make this a case where citizens arrest is not only, accepted but, applauded. BTW, by violent means…translates to holding them without lawyers and La Raza, whining. How many people were killed by ” The Minutemen” ? Wow…That many ? sarc

    there has been open discussion of secession on various threads here over the past several weeks.

    Was venturing an opinion that topic a violation of law?

    No. But, as CiE noted, and consistent with the old saying about getting a ham sandwich indicted, it could still POTENTIALLY get you ground to pieces in the criminal “justice” system that may wait around the corner. Being charge with a crime…even if totally innocent and eventually exonerated…is like getting into a pissing match with a skunk.

Getting a Yuma,AZ grand jury of US citizens to indict is not a slam-dunk. Although, fear can be used as a weapon…Suppose a coyote and their crew just dissapear…hmmm… an interesting conjecture.

    it was at the very concept that a President would compile a list of American dissenters to his policies.

    Just one more of a seemingly endless string of examples that demonstrate that our government is at war with voters. We have ONE-PARTY RULE and still they have to plot against us to get what they want.

    The Obama admin has introduced a war by euphemism. For instance, why they keep describing Judge Souter as a “moderate conservative”? Because as we learned the past eight years and particularly last year, “moderate conservative” means liberal. Once that euphemism sticks, those of us who espouse pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-gun rights, tough border enforcement and so on, can now be described as “extremists”.

    There is now just one allowable point of view: liberal. This morning, the McCain/Kennedy/Leiberman/Steele wing of the GOP confirmed that the GOP is now officially “the other Democratic Party”.

    Does everyone now understand the critical importance of the Tea Party movement and why it is critical to keep partisan politics out of it?

    The more I think about it, the more I think that it’s another Rules for Radicals play. It didn’t really matter whether they apologized, retracted or revised the DHS report. They wanted this to get out in order to target and isolate the biggest threat to Obama’s plans. They wanted its puke to ooze through the news cycle.

    Even though we know better, some people now have it in the back of their minds that the opposition are extremist wackos. It’s all a ruse to divide our attention between this and what the statists are really doing. They continually claim they’re not doing x or y while it’s going on in plain sight, e.g., nationalizing the banks and auto industry, giving common stock to UAW so the workers will control the means of production, etc.

    Room 101, thought police, doublethink, Newspeak and memory holes: How different are these terms from how the statists want to change the world’s inhabitants into obedient and fearful peasants.

    [Sorry but I had to rant. It just seems that we're just watching it happen like a movie and we're powerless to stop it. I certainly don't see any Republicans speaking out about it. They just don't care.]

    The question I have is what what will they do with those of us who aren’t going to bow and pledge ourselves and everything we hold dear to Barack Obama? It is obvious that the fact that there are MANY of us who have principles that we are not going to give up for Obama and his oligarchy, and that fact infuriates them.

    Personally, I’m waiting for a “crisis” to occur which will lead to an “enabling act” which will brutally crush any and all opposition to Obama, and America will formally become an authoritarian statist dictatorship.

    Obama wants to be identified with Abraham Lincoln–well, Lincoln essentially did the very same thing as I explained above. Lincoln created the very precedence which Obama will use to enslave us and crush the rule of law and our foundations of freedom and liberty.

    Joe Biden told us told us before Obama took office that a “crisis” will occur within six months of Obama’s administration, and I do not doubt him. Biden let the cat out of the bag, but nobody took him seriously. I believe it’s only a matter of time…

    The thing is, this administration won’t acknowledge any failure should a horrendous terrorist attack occur. They will blame it on US. WE are the sole enemies of the Obama regime, and they’ll simply accuse “right-wing extremists” for the crisis, and begin rounding us up.

    There is NO way that these tyrants will EVER give up the power that they currently hold. They are going to keep taking, and taking, until they’ve taken EVERYTHING. So anything potentially fatal to their agenda will simply be blamed on their opponents–US.

    And, WHO will oppose them when this happens? The “media?” The Repubicans? You KNOW that everyone on the left will fall in line when the Obama administration declares that “firm action” will need to be taken against “certain extremist segments in our society” which they will say “caused these horrendous acts,” and that “must suffer the consequences of those actions.”

The other thing you have to remember is Al Queda tried and failed to take out the Twin Towers in 1993. They came back on 9/11 and took them out.

    Here’s a little test I learned to apply some decades ago.

    It is a hard test, and you will frequently not like the results if you apply it with honesty.

    It is called “The Turn-Around Test“…

    If heterosexuals were targeting California gay rights activists…

    seeking to get them fired from their jobs…

    harassing them…

    targeting those places and things they held sacred…

    picketing their businesses…

    Would that be the subject of disapproval by the mass media?

    Would it be the subject of criminal investigations?

    Could you expect the political leaders of California to speak out against it aggressively, deploring that conduct?

    Might you expect the leaders of religious bodies, even those who profoundly sanctioned homosexual conduct, to speak against it?

    We all know the answers…even those who are not conservatives here.

    You can use the same test for any number of issues, words, etc.

    If homosexuals can use the term “queer”, by what standard can they sanction me for using it?

    If it would be deplorable for me to use the c-word, why can Perez Hilton use it freely, and not be deplored?

    See…? It is a very utilitarian test.

    Terrorist training and strongholds are already in the USA.

    For nearly 30 years, a violent group with established roots in both the United States and Pakistan has been committing numerous crimes here in America, consisting of murder, bombings, robberies – all for the purpose of “purifying” Islam through violence.

    This group, known as Jamaat ul-Fuqra (JF), was founded by Sheik Mubarak Ali Gilani during a 1980 visit to New York. In an effort to stop the perceived influence of Western ideology on Islam, JF uses violence to keep Islam from being ‘tainted’ by Western influences. JF will even wage violence upon members of their own faith, if they are suspected of not being faithful to Islam. In 1980, Gilani purchased 70 acres of land near the Catskill Mountains and founded Islamberg, in Hancock NY, a Muslim-only community where Muslim followers and converts could settle and reside in. Today, over 30 similar Muslim-only communities have sprung up all across the United States.

    Past JF Crimes/Current Criminal Activities:

    *Between 1979-90, there have been approximately 10 unsolved assassinations & 17 firebombing cases involving JF members [3] Some of the more publicized crimes involving JF include:
    1983-High ranking JF member plants pipe bomb at Portland hotel
    1984-3 South Asians killed in Tacoma, WA suburb by JF members
    1985- Islamic mosque bombed, Houston TX
    1989-storage locker search warrant in Colorado Springs revealed weapons cache and intelligence documents belonging to JF members. Documents included maps and potential targets to include military sites, oil and gas installations, and electrical facilities.

    (U) anti-immigration extremism: (U//FOUO) A movement of groups or individuals who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, particularly along the U.S. southwest border with Mexico, and who have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism to advance their extremist goals. They are highly critical of the U.S. Government’s response to illegal immigration and oppose government programs that are designed to extend “rights” to illegal aliens, such as issuing driver’s licenses or national identification cards and providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education.

If you really think that you are going to change anything by arguing in these posts or articles, then you are living in dreamland.

    Action is the only way to change the society that we live in. The Opposition has taken, and is taking action; political, legal, and illegal. Unfortunately our side have been sitting on our collective asses for about 50 years.

For those extremist libs that write hateful criticisms here, I must give you a hint since you are unable to understand proportion and lack all understanding of history: it is not faithful Christians living in the US. I think we need to keep up the pressure on Janet and watch her like a hawk – nut cases like her are certain to break the law and her policies will certain cost American lives for which she must be held responsible. Any law abiding patriotic American targeted by her must file written complaints/Federal lawsuits/FOIA requests. Americans must also understand that BO and Janet feel no obligation, moral or legal to protect the lives of US citizens – you need to be able to defend yourselves. If you can’t afford numerous bodyguards like Pelosi’s friends, then get a gun and learn to use it and join the NRA so that BO will find it more difficult to steal it from you. You might also consider having enough arms and ammo to help your neighbors out who didn’t prepare when the S hits the fan.
