For years now I've known that the left has targeted our universities to spread their ideology, but I was today surprised to find that it has now extended it's reach into our military, in particular West Point. In a report filed by a West Point think tank, they explain the dangers of right wing extremists especially since 2007. Isn't that about the time Obama announced his candidacy? They break the right wing extremists down to three groups starting with the KKK, neonazis and skinheads. They also report on right wing extremist groups described as "the fundamentalist stream, which includes mainly Christian Identity groups such as the Aryan Nations, fuse religious fundamentalism with traditional white supremacy and racial tendencies, thus promoting ideas of nativism, exclusionism, and racial superiority through a unique interpretation of religious texts that focuses on division of humanity according to primordial attributes.
Then they also report on this next group which is called by this report, the anti-federalists. Here's a direct quote: " They also espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights. Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government." Personally I can see myself fitting into that group, but I believe I would have really good company along with many of our founding fathers. How radical, the idea of individual freedom! Did you ever think you would see the day when citizens promoting individual freedoms would be called extremists and lumped together with the KKK and Aryan Nation? How dare we say the federal government is corrupt. How dare we support individual freedoms? Next thing you know we'll want the government to abide by the Bill of Rights!
What the heck, you helped pay for it so here's a link to that report: www.ctc.usma.edu/wp-co...elines.pdf

Whoever thought of this lumping together and then blaming it on right wing guys is in lala land,after all -this is the way it really swings;kkk is a liberal organisation(democratic),nazis were socialists,arian nations were mostly just racist with a little twisted christianity thrown in!It seems that wherever the communist/socialist ways of changing a nation occur-they always try to infect the higher learning institutions and the military leaders academies are a part of that!

I see this as an attack on conservatives. There are quite a few very troubling aspects of this report. First in my mind is the idea that the Army is now concerned with civilian affairs within the borders of this country. I had been under the opinion that the police and FBI would have dealt with such matters. This tells me they are preparing the minds of officers for deployment within our borders.
Political indoctrination as in this line: “While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo.” the report says. “The far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community.” When did it become undesirable to hold onto the values of our forefathers? When did preserving our national sovereignty become repressive?
The report adds: “While far-right groups’ ideology is designed to exclude minorities and foreigners” The America of the past is entirely about inclusion of minorities. The streets of America would be empty if not for the inclusion of minorities.
"the liberal-democratic system is designed to emphasize civil rights, minority rights and the balance of power." Balance of power, if that isn't leftist code phrase for communism I don't know what is.
