You are an extremist. Yes- YOU!

If you favor smaller federal government, states rights, gun ownership rights, bans on illegal immigration, a veteran, or American soverignty and exceptionalism, you are a right-wing extremist, as defined by none other than the Department of Homeland Defense's recent report entitled "RightWing Extremism." 

This is insane. Our government has now defined citizens as "extremists" if they believe in the principles established by the constitution (2nd amendment- right to bear arms, 10th amendment- states rights). Returning veterans are now viewed with suspicion, since they "possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists." 

Absurd. Here's the Fox news writeup, and here's the full document, released by the statist Homeland Security department. 

Note- there's no mention of terrorists, or illegal immigrant crime- just watch out for the bible-thumpers, gun owners, veterans, and people who want the federal government out of our pockets.
