The fourth most viewed post on America’s Watchtower is a post I wrote back in 2009 about the now infamous Homeland Security report on the threat of right wing extremists in which the department labeled returning United States veterans as a possible terrorist threat. This report labeled pro-lifers, small government advocates, and people who are against illegal immigration along with veterans returning from war as possible terrorist threats and lumped them in with white supremacists.
With the gun grabbers now in full throat after the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School the Obama regime is trying to gin up support for the usurpation of the second amendment by tugging on the heartstrings of Americans by using children as a political prop, but that really hasn’t managed to change the opinions of enough Americans so the regime is once again turning to “right wing extremism” in order to scare the American people into supporting its assault on the second amendment.
This time the willing co-conspirator is none other than a West Point think tank called the Combating Terrorism Center, which has now released a warning about the far-right anti-federalist movement. Included in this report about potential terrorists are people who support “civil activism, individual freedoms and self-government.”
It says anti-federalists “espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights. Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government. Extremists in the anti-federalist movement direct most their violence against the federal government and its proxies in law enforcement.”
The report also draws a link between the mainstream conservative movement and the violent “far right,” and describes liberals as “future oriented” and conservatives as living in the past.
“While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo.” the report says. “The far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community.”
There you have it: If you believe in smaller and limited government, personal responsibility, and if you believe the federal government is corrupt, if you believe the federal government is intruding on your constitutional rights, or if you believe in preserving the historical heritage of the nation–IE the founding documents and principles–you are a backwards thinker and dangerous. But if you are a liberal who believes in bigger government with less personal irresponsibility and freedom you are a forward thinker.
It is interesting to note here that the original anti-federalists were people who opposed the constitution when it was being debated by the states while now the term is being used to describe the people who support the constitution because the federal government has perverted the constitution. But that is how the liberals operate, they twist the argument and the terminology to suit their own needs and goals.
I am not surprised by this at all because let’s face it; we ARE a threat to the federal government as it exists today–not violently as this report would have us believe, but rather politically, or better yet, to their power–because today’s government cares not at all for our founding principles so they are looking to demonize those of us who do. The federal government has an enemies list and we are becoming the enemy in their eyes. It is quite possible that never in the history of the United States has a political difference between two factions been used to such an extent as to criminalize the opposite political position and we should all be concerned about this.
The question is; who is behind this report and I think we all know the answer to that question, don’t we? This was not a random report which came out of the blue in the midst of the gun control debate, this is part of the propaganda war being waged against law abiding, gun owning citizens in order to scare the American people into supporting legislation they otherwise would not, and in this writer’s opinion it came straight from the top.
Make no mistake about it: if Barack Obama has his way and gets the new gun control legislation he wants it is only the tip of the iceberg, there will be more reports to follow as he will continue to demonize his opposition and push for more and more legislation until the second amendment is toothless. When that happens there is no telling what he will do next.
Am I fear mongering here? Maybe, but no more so than is Barack Obama. History will be the judge.

West Point Huh? Glad I went to Parris Island.
The report is speaking about anti-federalists in the past tense. Think Timothy McVeigh. They are lumping you in a group with him. They are drawing that line, you are not. They are creating a specific group to target in the future. And there are millions of you. They incluse 55 million Republicans in that group. And any Independent or Democrat who voted for any candidate other than Obama in the last two elections.
I would expect better out of West Point. I visited the place when I was 12. No one told them wewe were coming. A cadet who was sunbathing was in full uniform in less than 10 minutes, and gave our church group a full tour, with no complaints on his part. Now, this memory is forever tarnished.
But wait…a Think Tank!! Well, well, that’s a bunch of college professors in wool blazers getting big consultant salaries for sitting around batting the breeze, and coming up with some report that says exactly what the people who hired them want it to say. Probably not Liberal Agendanistas, right??
In my profession, we have Hydrogeologists, and we have what we call Hydrostitutes. They make a report for sale to the highest bidder. Anything in it that you want. Come up and see me, anytime.
West Point is still cool, in my book. Next time I go to the Dia Beacon, I may stop in to say, “Hi.” As long as there are no liberal professors anywhere around.
We at the DCC are not anti-federalists per se, but we are against having our rights tampered with. Forward-looking and progressive in the context of these professors who live in their rich, gated communities with their armed guards means defenseless in the face of a strong central goverment that has vast powers that the citizens cannot, would not, and dare not resist. Backwards-looking in their eyes means a weak central government that is beholden to the States that cautiously and warily brought this demanding quisling into existence. I believe I will contrinue looking backwards, thank you, if only just to see if there is some Liberal Agendanista there trying to stick something up my ass. Gasp! And this, coming from a Demoncrat like me!
Keep it tight, America!
Lies…all lies. You had me convinced until you said you were a democrat. 🙂 Keep telling the truth Gary. I had never thought about your specific take on this but why not? Anyone can be bought. Even I could probably be bought if someone wanted to buy me. LOL
Meh…who cares what some West Point “think-tank” thinks? They’re paid not to think; but to regurgitate the company line. Didn’t they deny the commencement address of Gen Paul Vallely on the same grounds? There IS no greater patriot than Paul Vallely.
Pfft. Those buffoons chatter endlessly about the “goodness” of Progressivism because that’s how one achieves “Pentagon status” in the all-important world of politico-military upward-mobility. Even the military has been compromised.
These are the people who the liberal media report on and promote. Who cares is right, but this is the sort of crap that is fed to the sheep in this country as the absolute truth. No spin here!
I guess beside being a terrorist I’m an optimist also. Maybe some of the Head Brass have been compromised but theres a whole lot more boots on the ground, special forces, navy boys and girls that keep our carriers and battle ships afloat and mobile, a lot of Patriots flying our fighter jets and bombers and the crews that do a hell of a job keeping them in the air. I have a lot of faith in my fellow patriot and their a hell of a bunch of them to have faith in. I know they love our country and what it stands for as much as you or I. I know without a doubt they will stand with us.
You can ask normal hard working people in just about every country in the world what they think of when they think about America. They’ll tell you “The land where a person is free, A land where its possible to make your dreams come true, A land where heros are born, and the home of the brave”. “God Bless America, God Damn Tryannts”

WOW..Just WOW..believing in smaller Govt., personal responsibility and The Constitution makes you a Terrorist…
Many of our troops are the MOST patriotic (I’m my view blindly because they don’t realize they are fighting for an agenda that has nothing to do with defending our country or constitution) individuals in the world. Our troops are the most informed and awake they have ever been in history and certainly much more informed than when I was in 22 years ago. Thank the Internet. Our younger generation has it going on regardless of what we think. MUCH more so than mine. They WILL NOT BUY THIS LOAD OFF BULL SHITE on bit. It’s all over for the Marxists but the fight. When that comes, and it will, it will be bloody and horrible but they will lose. I know it in my blood and bones. Obama and his ilk are a stain on our Nations history. Most of the preceding presidents have worked for the same people and same agenda regardless of their stated false political ideology.
They don’t have the Military and They don’t have Law Enforcement..Might have 50-60 percent of Fed LEO but we have 70% of civilian LEO and 70% of the Military. So..I say if there’s gonna be a fight let it come. I’m not scared..really i’m not..I’d rather just get it done like I have faced down bullies my entire life. I’m sick of the threats, sick of the posturing. Let’s all stand up and so..NO F@#$%^& More! Seriously gentlemen and ladies,. We have the power. Always have.
This is a necessary step for the peaceful disarming of America. People who may want to buy guns and/or ammo must be labeled as terror threats so they can make the lists of those who cannot pass background checks. Then once we make it on to that list, they are just one bill away from being able to confiscate weapons already owned by those on the list. It really is a step-by-step planned progression to accomplish the goals put forth by UN Agenda 21. All in the name of “Protecting our Society”. They feel they can accomplish these goals without much notice because we are too busy “looking back” too notice what they are preparing “looking forward” at our future. Use your rear view mirrors to look back, but keep your eyes on the road ahead. the ride is going to get bumpy, the signs are everywhere.
Consider this. List “gun nut” as a type of paranoid schizophrenia. Allow doctors to diagnose it. Prevent the “nuts” from buying guns, from owning guns. Come into their houses and confiscate their guns, for the public’s and their own safety. Have the media report on another diagnosed gun nut having been neutralized, one way or another. Commit them if you have to. For as long as you have to, there is no appeal, only the occasional evaluations by a shrink.
Think it cannot happen anywhere? Not here?
The Executive Orders need to be looked at closely. I expect that some actions taken under them will be declared to be unconstitutional. But you will need financial backing and time. You have no credibility in your own case unless a shrink says you are competent, and the Judge accepts that. Hey, it worked for the Soviets for something like 79 years. Mental hospitals and a shrink’s diagnosis, these no one questions in America. No arrest required, just a signature on an involuntary commitment. It is up to you now to say the right things, so you are not held indefinitely (hint — regurgitate the party line).
Beware of elevating any other person, whether a president, Judge, policeman, medical professional, or educator, to a status above your own. You are buying into elitism that way.
