The United States is no longer a free country. Liberty's decline in that country is no almost complete. The government now controls the entire credit industry by one means or another. Just to make sure that this control is never questioned, the government of the United States is now attempting to stifle speech by associating its critics with 'right wing extremism.'

Here is a newly released report made by the Intelligence and Analysis Office of the Department of Homeland Security:

www.thelibertypapers.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hsa-rightwing-extre mism-09-04-07.pdf

Here is a quote from the linked report:''Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and
adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups),and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.''

In if you are a Libertarian, a conservative Republican, a fiscal conservative, or are Pro-Life, or prefer local authority to federal authority, then you may well be in league with gun-toting beer-swilling racists playing army out in the boonies. In other words, if you are in any way critical of the government of the United States, you are a potential problem.

The government of the United States has not limited this troubling pose to those who are classified by our brainless news editors of being 'right wing'. The so-called 'radical left' has been similarly besmirched in yet another report issued by the Intelligence and Analysis Office of the Department of Homeland Security. That report can be found here:

www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/Leftwing_Extremist_Threat.pdf

It is very clear from reading these reports that the government of the United States is most fearful of individuals and 'small cells' and 'leaderless groups' on both ends of the political spectrum because such people are next to impossible to track and are able to act without prior warning.

Clearly then, it behooves the intended audience of these reports, state and local law enforcement officials, to keep a close watch on those who take the time and trouble to voice their political opinions. Any one of such individuals may well be harboring dark designs on the government of the United States.

What else can be said? These reports were initiated during the Bush Administration, so they are not a warning signal about the incompetence of the Obama Administration alone. They are a warning signal about the Bureaucracies our politicians have created. Presidents come and go, but the people who actually run the country remain entrenched. Those people are now paranoid and with good reason. Their incompetence and bumbling have now enraged the American public to the point that actual reform might well be in the offing.

The credit industry should have been controlled and strictly regulated decades ago.That his nothing to do with restricting liberty.Unless the right for the investment banks to create exotic and malignant fiscal products is equated to 'liberty' as advocated by previous poster.The limitless greed of the investment bankers caused the world crisis,that much is certain.
Right wing news channels like FOX are trying to blame the Obama administration for the crimes of the GOP.I just hope sufficient people have enough short term memory available to remember that the crisis started before the inauguration of Obama who was then presented with the bill of eight years of doing nothing and open complacency with corporate business.
I think it is only just to make those that profited from these years of deregulation pay for the consequences of their greed.Now,that will be hard to acomplish.The GOP ,having lost much of it's influence is trying hard to reconquer some influence by adopting new tactics .The usual smear is one of them,courtesy of FOX.Another one is disguising itself as a would-be self declared popular uprising such as the tea parties,initiated by the usual billionaires in order to have the poor fight their wars for them.Who is stupid enough to be lured into these republican propaganda wars .Who is stupid enough to participate in a fiscal war from the rich refusing to pay their share of the taxes against their victims,those that have to pay for this greed.I wonder...

What the GOP and so called fiscal conservatives want is unregulated capitalism without any supervision.A system in which the workers are told there is never room for pay raise but CEO's get incredible amounts of money looting the average joe and the tax payer:
1. Aubrey McClendon, Chesapeake Energy Corp., $112.5 million
2. Sanjay Jha, Motorola Inc., $104.4 million
3. Robert Iger, Walt Disney Co., $51.1 million
4. Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., $42.9 million
5. Kenneth Chenault, American Express Co., $42.9 million
6. Vikram Pandit, Citigroup Inc., $38.2 million
7. Steven Farris, Apache Corp., $37.2 million
8. Louis Camilleri, Philip Morris International Inc., $36.9 million
9. Kevin Johnson, Juniper Networks Inc., $36.1 million
10. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase & Co., $35.7 million
Et voila ,these are the salaries of some of of your corporate tycoons for 2008 .and these are mostly the guys lamenting that now their income tax is raised .Feel sorry for them ?Then vote GOP.

By the way SP4 you are making an incredible and completely absurd statement;one I am sure you can not believe yourself:in 100 days Obama has raised the unemployment from 4 to 8 percent ?Have you no shame left in you ?Are you really thinking there is anybody at all on this planet able to swallow such an enormous lie ?You seem to think so .what you are doing is in fact shoving eight years of gross GOP incompetence on the shoulders of Obama.An eight year old child will have no trouble understanding the causes and consequences of financial and economical activity take more than 100 days .The global crisis which led to unemployment was caused by Wall Street greed .You now claim it was Obama ?Keep on lying SP4 and the GOP electorate will shrink until one needs a microscope to find them.For every person on earth there is a limit to stupidity,except you.
