Government warns that right wing radicalism is on the rise
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” saying the economic recession, the election of America’s first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing 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.
Don’t you worry, President Obama. If I see something, I will say something! I’ve got my eye on those dirty right wingers…especially those running around calling themselves “independents.”

Ah, yes. The post partisan Obama administration just accused half the country of being part of the “militia movement”.
Is it possible a constitutional scholar has never read the tenth amendment?

Watch it, mister! I will so turn you in! Obama ‘12

Don’t forget Libertarians — I am totally turning them in if I see them. Obama ‘16!

Hahahha OH YEAH! The Libertarians too! Those tricky bastards all trying to start their name with “liber” so that we don’t notice! We’re onto you guys! You’re going down!
Obama ‘20

You’ll do nothing of the sort. You don’t call 911, remember?

In this scenario, I *am* 911.

Ooooooooh. I’m at the top of NDS’ list.
