Identifying Domestic Terrorists

by Austin Bay

It took a couple of awkward weeks, but Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano finally issued a real apology to American military veterans. Recall in early April, at her direction, DHS issued a sloppy, politically slanted "warning" about potential domestic terrorism. Insulting language fingered "disgruntled" military veterans as potential recruits for violent (likely "right-wing") organizations.

Napolitano's taxpayer-subsidized smear war ...

"The U.S. military swears an oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic." There are vets who are saying that killing prominent Democrats is defending the Constitution......I've heard vets say this. Unfortunately Napolitano is right.....I wish she wasn't.

Sir;...I don't care how many words the administration eats because they will always have a full plate...The religious right has a hold on the Officer Corp... The countryside, the land of White Christian Republicans is paranoid, and armed... To kill an abortion doctor is nothing to those people, and the republicans provide the excuse through their broadcasting... Doesn't the bible say thou shall not suffer a socialist to live, and better dead than red??? If not; such rot is spoken from many a pulpit... These people of the West and South look to the military as some sort of path out of their hopelessness and lack of opportunity, and when they find that it was all for nothing, the deaths, the anguish, and the injuries were for nothing, and that no opportunity awaits them because the very people who exported them have exported our economy, then naturally, they will blame the democrats, but also the democracy... Those people are a force for tyranny, and they are a knife leveled at the heart of this nation; but whose fault is it really???If the Churches were not given such freedom with so little responsibility they would take care of charity, and not blab their mouths...If the broadcast industry, and press were held accountable for the slander they spread far and wide, and for the treason they invite, then they would stick to the facts and to the news...Freedom is not the cause of this national division and threat of violence and revolution...Investing our freedoms in institutions rather than in people is the problem...These institutions think nothing of attacking individual and group rights... Is that their purpose??? When they should guard our freedom with us they have become the enemy..It is because they want to protect the power they have....If you do not stand with them and spout their nonsense then you are the enemy of these moral bigots...So let the government eat its words... The world revolves none the less, no matter how many words people are forced to eat...Thanks...Sweeney
