Civil Liberties Don’t Apply to Conservatives – DHS











AP story today that highlights the fact that the DHS pushed through the recent ‘Right-Wing Extremist’ report regardless of known civil liberty concerns. Nothing shocking here. I’ll make this one simple, the DHS knew full well that singling out illegal-immigrant opponents, right-to-lifers, gun-owners, vets and others as possible security threats is a clear infringement on their rights. Can you imagine if the DHS under Bush and Co. had issued a report showing that environmentalists, feminists, and gays were security threats? And then substantiating this allegation with one lone wacko from 15 years ago (read McVeigh)? I don’t think so and can only imagine what the howling hyenas in the Mainstream Media would do if this were the case. Outrage of the day from a large stack of stuff…..

Hi, to another Californian!
You are SO RIGHT…you could pretty much ask that same question about everything Obama’s done, ….”imagine if a REPUBLICAN had…..”..and what the media would have done!? Except, maybe “Gone Socialist” and then the media’d been ALL OVER IT very happily!
“Howling hyenas” isn’t even close!!
thanks for coming by geeeeZ!

Great point. Hey, thanks for commenting on my blog. I have my hands full over there with a plethora of liberal mommies to educate. 🙂

Opus – You are welcome, it’s nice to hear some chatter from dissenting (albeit wrong) opions, I’ll see if I can drop by every so often and voice my thoughts. Liberal Mommies in So CA? Aren’t the two synonomous? 🙂

Hey rebel, thanks for your comments at my site. You have a totally excellent place here. I used to live in California and it is not beyond redemption. There is a San Francisco, and God only knows how many leftists actually live there, but the rest is fairly conservative. It did vote in a “Republican” for governor. It would be interesting to do a real voter census there.

Ex D- You are welcome, thanks for vistiting. As you say CA is not beyond redemption and we did vote in a ‘republican’ governor who showed great promise off the bat. Today is another story though. Here in San Diego Midwestern values are highly prevalent. The Bay Area is lost however, you could be a devout communist and win city office there. A voter census here might surprise a lot of Americans!

I’m near Santa MOnica, Left Coast…there were only about 300 and I didn’t get there at the height of the crowd…only later, when they had about 50 milling around. 300 for the People’s Republic of Santa Monica is pretty darned good!
have a great weekend!
