You Might Be A "Right-Wing Extremist..."

Just in time for the 'Tea Party' protests, folks.

Remember when a "right-wing extremist" was a loony Klansman, or a Nazi, or some other paranoid wackjob? Well move over David Duke and Pat Buchannan, because the Department of Homeland Security ((Team Hopenchange Edition) update: scratch that) has just broadened the definition to potentially include... about half the country.

(Funny, they don't seem too worried about left-wing extremists...)

In the minds of our urbane, nuanced northern betters, "right-wing extremism" is pretty much interchangeable with "redneck." So let's have some fun and put the report in a format us hayseed rubes can understand (with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy):
If you don't like President Obama, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you don't want UN dictates to supersede US law, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you oppose more gun control and gun bans, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you're a returning veteran who supports the War on Terror and opposes Obama, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you oppose abortion, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you think the Federal government has overstepped it's Constitutional powers with respect to state and local authority, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you bought another gun or more ammunition because you're worried about more gun control and gun bans, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you oppose illegal immigration and citizenship for illegal immigrants, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."

If you oppose government social programs that take from you and give to someone else, you might be a "Right-Wing Extremist."
I guess most of us, dear readers, fit in there somewhere. Though, I am surprised that watching NASCAR, going to church, living in a trailer, or listening to country music weren't included.

UPDATE: More commentary here.

UPDATE: Charles Johnson says this is not the doing of Team Hopenchange, but the endless march of Federal bureaucracy. Maybe, but they didn't take issue with it, either. How would the Left and the MSM have responded if something like this had come out during the G. W. Bush years? They'd probably go protest the next day...

Here's hoping "right-wing extremists" become a major threat to this administration and their agenda.

Read Mark Levine's book Liberty and Tyranny, that will show you how much of our freedom the fed gov has grabbed.
