But maybe I’ll get arrested for being a violent extremist. After all, I oppose lax immigration policies and abortion laws that allow pieces of tiny kids to be tossed in the garbage.

But my stands on issues is the essence of a new report by some bureaucrats who lack some common sense.

Get a load of it here in the Washington Times:

“The report sent to law enforcement … lists veterans as a terrorist risk to the U.S. and defines ‘rightwing extremism’ as including groups opposed to abortion and immigration.”

No, I’m not being arrested today. But the government is quick to label me a potential Christian extremist (read: terrorist) if I seem razor-focused on a cause.

I guess I’m in the clear because I hold firm beliefs about lots of things, not one. That’s a relief.

Besides my views on immigrants (I say kick out the illegals who don’t know how to honor the law), I think we:
- Need better gun control laws (for homeowners and gang members alike)
- Should eliminate the U.S. Department of Education
- Should drill for oil in lots of places on land and in the ocean
- Shouldn’t cave into owl lovers or tree huggers
- Should let homosexuals have a bigger voice with their loved ones (like with medical decisions) but stop short of granting them marriages (God kind of had the man/woman thing in mind)

So do those beliefs – and countless others – align me with extremist groups? I would think not.

Will I get in trouble for bashing the government? I hope not.

I love my country – even when it’s off its rocker.

How about you?
