That’s Right Nate

As you can see, it wasn't until later that the Klu Klux Klan became a terrorist organization. Here they are saving Mary Pickford's honor.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security warned that that “the recession and the election of President Obama are “fueling resurgence” of right-wing extremist groups that are seeking new recruits, especially returning veterans.”  Really?   Does anybody remember when the DHS did important stuff like letting us know what the terrorism color for the day was?  This is an outrage and one that I will not put up with from my government.  Pat Robertson got it right when he said that somebody in the DHS is either  a “convinced left winger or somebody whose sexual orientation is somewhat in question.”

Now, I will be the first to admit that after the Civil War, returning confederate Veterans were the ones who started the Klu Klux Klan and I certainly won’t deny that the KKK is a terrorist organization, but if you saw Birth of a Nation, you know it wasn’t always that way.  Sure, it was veterans like retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler who were behind the attempted 1934 Coup against FDR.   I’ll even grant that Timothy McVeigh may have been a little on the conservative side when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma.  However, McVeigh only had lose ties to some militias and wasn’t really a member of an organized group.  This is hardly a pattern of right wing violence and certainly not terrorism.

Maybe, the DHS was worried because of the Pittsbugh shootings, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Richard Andrew Poplawski was a young man convinced the nation was secretly controlled by a cabal that would eradicate freedom of speech, take away his guns and use the military to enslave the citizenry.  He despised the military.  He obviously wasn’t a veteran.  No, what the DHS case is based on is half-truths and outright lies.

I don’t have to tell you dear readers about the power of our boycotts.   We drove Dark Knight from the theaters, cut Salvation Army donations, made Alan Colmes leave Fox, and are in the middle of bringing the Iowa mustard industry to its knees.  Only Bill O’Reilly’s recent ass kicking of Spain can trump us, but I’m not yet that good.  Bill O’Reilly is an aspiration for me though.  Believe me.  Now I’m asking you to boycott the Department of Homeland Security.   It really isn’t that tough.   If you see a suspicious looking package just ignore it.  If you are in a foreign country and somebody asks you to take a package with you for one of their friends then go ahead and do it.  Don’t report suspicious people either.  We can make the DHS reallize that there is nobody that loves this country more than conservatives or veterans except for maybe conservative veterans.
