We're all extremists on the right now!

Well, it had to happen. Everyone who is not ("now" was clearly a typo so I humbly apologize for this error) a liberal is now a right-wing extremist according to Homeland Security: Federal Agency warns of radicals on right. Allow me to interject four links here before continuing: Great article by Audrey Hudson and Eli Lake. We are defined but they still don't get it. Mr. Obama's race, the color of his skin, is not a factor. Who cares? We all mixed races or have mixed races in our families. It is the federal policies and, yes, the encroachment of the federal government into every single waking and sleeping moment of our lives. There I did it. I fit into the description of a right wing extremist. What we are essentially are strict constitutionalists and we believe in States' Rights as defined in the U.S. Constitution and as mentioned by Gov. Rick Perry of Texas yesterday. Very simply put, if you disagree with the federal government in any way, if you disagree with the policies of the administration, and if you don't want to go lock-step into the socialist indoctrination camps, you are in good company. If you do not want your freedoms of speech taken away, you are now a "radical on the right" and that is a very bad thing to be today. Watch because it could get interesting to see the measures an over-reaching federal government will take to silence citizens it fears. Keep in mind, what the government gives with one hand, it can take away with the other. It is clear that some of us are going to have to censor ourselves to survive. In the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, we are going to have to depend on our colleagues in New Zealand, Great Britain, Australia, and throughout the EU to do the posting that we may not be able to do. If President Bush moved sideways, he was ridiculed with no mercy. If we criticize unconscionable spending, we are "radicals on the right." Anyone want to bet that folks will be taking pictures of the people protesting the massive spending today just like anti-war protesters were photographed in years gone by? God bless America and good going to Audrey Hudson and Eli Lake.

    "Well, it had to happen. Everyone who is now a liberal is now a right-wing extremist according to Homeland Security: Federal Agency warns of radicals on right."

    Shame on you for inmplying that the article to which you link mentions liberals as extremists - assuming it was deliberate! You may have inadvertantly misspelled the word, "NOT" - but since it's not (not now) your policy to recant distortions or false claims, I don't expect you to correct the error.

    I recently recommended your blog to a conservative lady in Georgia, and this is what she had to say about your writing.

    "Skimmed a good bit of "Beach Girl's" blog. . . .she's seems a little intense to me. It would be really hard for me to believe that she's a lot of fun to be around. She might find that life could be a little more enjoyable if only she would lighten up a little. And, if she is a teacher, I'm more than a little concerned about her young impressionable students. In a one-on-one situation does she come off that strong? I'll admit it, she kinda scares me."

    Of course, I know you take great pride in your radical views. I second the lady's sentiment: lighen up a little before you explode - or implode.

    Now, a more personal note - I hope you soon get over the flu bug; I haven't felt so good the last few days, but I'm feeling better today.

    It's just staggering that these words can be found in a Homeland Security report. This is insane.

    A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

    "It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
