Quote of the day—Janet Napolitano

Let me be very clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don’t have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence.

We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not – nor will we ever – monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources.

Homeland Security chief responds to right-wing extremism report
[Really? I wonder what sort of action Ms. Napolitano and her organization have taken in response to those responsible for operation Fast and Furious. It involved criminal activities and arguably terrorist activities as well as strong hints that it was aimed at infringing upon the civil rights of American people.—Joe]

  1. Well, her ‘Beware of nasty white people who talk about the Constitution and stuff’ commercials and warnings make her a liar.

    And, I’m curious: does not the ‘ideology and political beliefs’ of the enemy MAKE them the enemy? Yet she says they’d NEVER look at that? Makes her either a liar or a fool, I’d say.
