Watch out for Left Wing Extremism

Along with the Homeland Security report to watch out for right wing extremist. You have to watch out for left wing extremist the report also says. So conservatives, liberals also have a threat assessment as well, so cool your jets. It was not a partisan Homeland Security Report by the Obama administration as right wing radio and TV host were exclaiming

My note: While Jason has some good points, I think we can all agree anti-capitalist, communist, and socialist is extremist. Being pro-life, anti-gay marriage, and pro-free market is not extreme, you may not agree with these views but I think calling them extreme is ridiculous

  1. That wasn't the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make was that conservatives need to calm down and stop thinking that everyone is out to get them. Mark you are right, left-wing extremist (which I am not) is against what America believes in. Liberals and conservatives all want this country to succeed. It is the extremist on both sides ( the left are anti-capitalism,communist and so on while the right is anti-government) that want this country to fail. Agree? Maybe?

  2. Jason, I don't believe in the latest report it mentioned the left wing. It was 8 pages long. We don't call it a war on terror anymore but we can discuss possible terror groups including our own military without no evidence to even suggest this is happening.This certainly doesn't seem right to me. How would it sound if people were against the war are pro abortion and are gay have a possibility of being terrorist

  3. Jason the point you make is valid. But the report essentially calls people who believe in life and want thier taxes lowered extremists. To mention military veterans is absolutely absurd, Homeland Security is only supposed to issue a report with just cause and as you can see from all the articles, there was no evidence or just cause behind this one

  4. Never said I didn't think the repost was absurd because it is very absurd. I am getting tired of both parties acting this way. I agree completely with everything you are saying. Never said I didn't agree.
