Homeland security answer to the Tea Party Movement

Posted on 14 April 2009

The Federal government has an answer to the Tea Party movement – apparently they will try to marginalize it under the guise of ginning up the right-wing extremist bogeyman. From the Washington Times:

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “right wing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning says.

This is an interesting analysis. From my definition, this would include virtually every group in the United States on both the left and right that does any kind of advocacy. But as usual, this administration misses a key point. From the United States constitution:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Notice that the 10th amendment to the Constitution does not say congress can do what it wants and force it on the states. It says that the states and their people retain rights not specifically excluded by the Constitution. Liberals have moaned about George Bush and his assault on the rights of fictitious victims that they never produced citing facts never written down. Apparently, this administration is more open and forthright. They have no problem placing wording in a government document citing their intended oppression of the people and in direct contradiction to the United States Constitution in plain sight. More change you can believe in.
