Cheat Seeking Missiles

Liberal Fascism Run Amok

was in LA all day … well, driving to and from, and in LA, so I got an earful of talk radio reports on the DHS “right-wing extremism” report with no keyboard at the ready, so here I find myself trying to figure out how to write about something that already generates nearly 20,000 hits on Google’s blog search.

That’s part of it: Those 20,000 blog hits mean this report won’t sink into a sea of media inattention, as would have happened a few years back, and that’s very good, indeed.

Anyone who didn’t see this coming doesn’t understand “progressive” thought, because the movement, to which our president subscribes, is all about repressing and vilifying those who don’t align with the carefully defined groupthink. We saw enough of it during the Bush years, but back then their charges and actions couldn’t gain real traction since they were out of power. But now that Congress and the White House are progressive, they have all the traction they need.

You’ve read it elsewhere, but allow a quick venting: Veterans who fought for America are now enemies of America who need to be watched?! Law enforcement also better watch people who reject federal authority?! How much federal authority, precisely, needs to be rejected? Just excessive new federal authority, or do we get busted for not currying to good ol’ FDR-era overstepping? The report’s not clear, so we’re not in the clear. Opposing unabated abortion or immigration might be a sign of right-wing radicalism?! Sorry, Bub, but last time I checked, I wasn’t plotting the radical fall of our country even though I seem to fit the profile.

I have a confession to make. That’s my car there, with the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag on the back. Just arrest me and throw away the key. I’m obviously not a patriot.

Well, enough ranting. Here’s the thing: We cannot allow the authors of this report and those who delegated it and signed off on it to slink about in protective anonymity. We need to know if the perpetrators of this Obamination are direct Obama appointees, and if so, what else they are working on. We need to know if the report was prioritized over reports on more significant threats, like, you know, jihadists or maybe that radical legalize pot bunch … if they could ever get their act together, they could be really dangerous. (But you could stop them with Twinkies and Doritos.)

The GOP can’t be afraid of this issue; they must push for release of documents and identification of the perps, because Lord knows, the NY Times, which was so intent to debilitate our foreign surveillance programs and out Scooter Libby, won’t.

Hot Air offers up a couple names for this phenomenon of expansive liberal fascism: fauxrage and Obamateurisms. I don’t think so. My rage isn’t faux, any less than their rage at Bush was faux, and this isn’t amateur; it’s just the letting loose of the progressive hounds.
