As reported extensively on Fox News and probably no where else i give you the most shameful study ever. http://www.gordonunleashed.com/HSA%20-%20Rightwing%20Extremism%20-%2009%2004%2007.pdf
This so called threat analysis provides absolutely zero documentation of increased recruitment of returning military combat veterans what so ever It clearly appears to be heavily influenced by the political views of its (unidentified) authors. The central theme of the report is this:
"The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has "no" specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists "may" be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment." Note the strategic word smithing using No and May.
I quote from the report:
"The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers. ...
Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power. "
Wait a minute. In 1995, the economy was booming. Nor is there any obvious similarity between the "political climate" now and in the 1990s, except that we have a Democratic administration in power. I suspect that's what the authors are really worried about, although they never quite come out and say so.
A lot of this defamation of military combat veterans who have fought for this country is based on a "prominent civil rights organization". Guess what, this prominent civil rights group is the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center. The real numbers:
"A review of FBI white supremacist extremist cases from October 2001 to May 2008 identified 203 individuals with confirmed or claimed military service active in the extremist movement at some time during the reporting period. This number is minuscule in comparison with the projected US veteran population of 23,816,000 as of 2 May 2008, or the 1,416,037 active duty military personnel as of 30 April 2008. ...
According to FBI information, an estimated 19 veterans (approximately 9 percent of the 203) have verified or unverified service in the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
I again say shame on this administration. They owe the military an apology for ever allowing an attack piece like this to be published. It goes to the obvious liberal lie of the last 8 years. "We support the troops but not the war". If so many liberals support the troops than why do they fight so hard to keep military recruiters off of college campuses?

Its all true. It is not offensive to the military or veterans. It is simply remembering the lesson of Timothy McVeigh.
That is bull! It is clearly anti veteran fear by those who hate the military. As Jack Nicholson said in his great role in the movie "A Few Good Men" "And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post.
I could not have said it better!
Who you going to defend? The New Republic of Illinois?
God Bless America!
