Obama is slowly rewriting America’s dialogue with other countries, while at the same time calling those that are pro-life, against illegal immigration, military veterans or gun owners rightwing extremists.

But you have to applaud Obama for transparency. He’s even extending transparency to the terrorist by releasing Bush-era memos about CIA interrogation techniques.

A former top official in the administration of President George W. Bush called the publication of the memos “unbelievable.”

“It’s damaging because these are techniques that work, and by Obama’s action today, we are telling the terrorists what they are,” the official said. “We have laid it all out for our enemies. This is totally unnecessary. … Publicizing the techniques does grave damage to our national security by ensuring they can never be used again — even in a ticking-time- bomb scenario where thousands or even millions of American lives are at stake.”

And they’re no longer terrorists and it’s no longer the “war on terror.”. According to the new Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, they’re now known as “man-made disaster makers” and the war on terror is an “overseas contingency operation.”

At the same time Napolitano is calling men and women that have proudly served our country in the military “rightwing extremists”. Or, if you’re against abortion or illegal immigration, you must be a rightwing nutcase.

In the report, right-wing extremism was defined as hate-motivated groups and movements, such as hatred of certain religions, racial or ethnic groups. “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the report said.

How is it they forgot to mention the radical leftwing groups within the animal rights, environmental, and anarchist extremist movements that have actually conducted criminal or terrorist activities. How about the Earth Liberation Front, or ELF, for example?

Anyone remember ELF member Jeff “Free” Luers, who is serving a ten year sentence for the firebombing of SUV’s at a dealership because he thought they were bad for the environment? Luers said he did it to “raise awareness about global warming.”

Or how about these ELF whackos?

In late 2006, a number of self-described ELF members pled guilty to arson and other charges in U.S. federal courts.[12]

On November 11, 2006, Joyanna Zacher, Nathan Block, Daniel McGowan and Jonathan Paul pleaded guilty to several eco-sabotage related charges, as part of a global resolution agreement with prosecutors. Judge Ann Aiken presided over the hearings. The change of pleas from the four defendants resolves all current “Operation Backfire” cases in Oregon.[13]

On December 15, 2006, Chelsea Dawn Gerlach and Stanislas Gregory Meyerhoff, pleaded guilty to $20 million worth of arsons committed between 1996 and 2001 by the Eugene-based cell of the ELF known as “The Family”. Their fire-bombing of a Vail ski resort resulted in damages totaling $12 million, with the FBI characterized the ELF as the United States’ “top domestic terrorism threat”. Gerlach has previously pleaded guilty to 18 counts of arson in other attacks, saying she was motivated by “a deep sense of despair and anger at the deteriorating state of the global environment,” but adding that she has “since realized the firebombings did more harm than good.” Meyerhoff has renounced ELF and pleaded guilty to 54 counts, but is still under indictment in Michigan, Arizona, Washington, Wyoming and California.[14]

On March 6, 2008, Briana Waters, who was arrested in Operation Backfire for another ELF attack in Washington State, was found guilty of two counts of arson[10] and sentenced later that year to six years in prison.[15]

And if you’re a gun owner, you must be a rightwing extremist.

“Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement.”

So forget about the Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front or PETA and their terrorist activities against Americans. Forget about Code Pink, whose leader Jodie Evans openly supported the terrorists in Iraq who are killing American soldiers and Iraqis. These are just a few examples. Instead, lets focus on a problem that doesn’t exist, because there are no left-wing terrorist groups.

What a country.
