People suing over DHS report

Filed under: Political, Quick Links — by site admin @ 10:28 pm

From Ace of Spades HQ, we see that people are suing over the DHS report mentioned here in the previous post. I’m not sure if this will go anywhere, but I think it’s a good thing because there are many naysayers out there claiming that the response from the right is an overreaction. Please. The report targeted everyone who holds certain political positions, not just the wackos.

They can keep spinning, but the blogs will hopefully force the legacy media to report the truth.

DHS hit job on conservatives

Found at Ace of Spades:Michelle Malkin » Confirmed: The Obama DHS hit job on conservatives is real
From the report (Michelle pointed this out, more excerpts at her site):

Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election 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, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

Well, isn’t that nice? I imagine every person who believes that the current administration is in favor of expanding social programs and restricting firearms ownership is a nut. I guess i’m a nut, too, because it’s frelling obvious that this administration is in favor of all the things mentioned in the quote above.

Apparently voicing your opinion, when it’s against what this administration is doing, is grounds for being considered a radical. Remember that whole bunch of crap about “speaking truth to power?” Yeah, you can forget that now. When the Democrats are running things, the government is your BFF and can do no wrong.

Are the Democrats an active shame culture?

This is a nice article that makes some good points:Dr. Sanity: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A ‘SHAME’ CULTURE ? Here is a key point I think a classical liberal can agree with:

“Conservatives believe they have better ideas. Leftists believe they are better people.”

Yeah, I know, I’ve been more linky than thinky lately, but perhaps it’s better than nothing. Also, it keeps the links handy for later reference.
