DHS: Domestic Extremist Lexicon

You've heard of it, but the W.Times posted it. Here's the the Unclassified - For Official Use Only DHS lexicon defining various extremist groups. Unfortunately, if you believe in the Constitution and/or individual liberty you are deemed hateful and lumped in with skinheads, etc.

From the top of page 7:

(U) patriot movement (U//FOUO)
A term used by rightwing extremists to link their beliefs to those commonly associated with the American Revolution. The patriot movement primarily comprises violent anti-government groups such as militias and sovereign citizens.
(also: Christian patriots, patriot group, Constitutionalists)

From the top of page 8:

(U) rightwing extremism
(U//FOUO) A movement of rightwing groups or individuals who can be broadly divided into those who are primarily hate-oriented, and those who are mainly anti-government and reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. This term also may refer to rightwing extremist movements that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
(also known as far right, extreme right)

It's a shame those darned extremist founding fathers aren't around to be told what a threat they pose.
