Man Detained because of Bumper Sticker

A man was detained by small town police in Ball, Louisiana because of the bumper sticker on his car. That sticker said Don’t Tread on Me. Why are we standing by while our government declares that anyone who doesn’t agree with the current administration is a threat and uses men with guns to intimidate citizens who dare to voice an opinion critical of the current administration.

Displaying this could get you detained



You are now subject to being stopped, detained, and investigated if you dare to put a bumper sticker on your car that the government doesn’t approve of. The federal government has issued directives to be on the look out for extremists. Part of the definitions include “groups or individuals who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, particularly along the U.S. southwest border with Mexico”; who “are highly critical of the U.S. Government’s response to illegal immigration and oppose government programs that are designed to extend “rights” to illegal aliens, such as issuing driver’s licenses or national identification cards and providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education”; who are “antigovernment and reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority”.

The DHS document sent to all law enforcement in the USA defined right wing extremists as those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

If you believe in the Constitution of the USA, smaller government, or individual rights and you dare try to hold your government accountable, or exercise you constitutional rights in a manor critical of the current administration, then you too are considered an extremist and a threat.

DHS declares you to be dangerous

By now you've probably heard that you are a person of interest who should be scrutinized by your local, state, and federal law enforcement. If you believe in liberty, then you have been labeled as dangerous and should be watched.

DHS document here

Go read the Dept. of Homeland Security's (DHS) assessment which declares anyone who opposes abortion, gun control, illegal aliens, or supports Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin is defined as a violent right-wing extremist. If you’re a member of or support the Libertarian party, or the Constitution Party, or are even a Republican with conservative views, the Secretary of DHS has identified you as a dangerous and notified law enforcement that you should be watched.

There was palpable exuberance in Jeane Garofalo, as she spoke with Keith Olbermann, stating that tea party protests weren't about taxes or spending at all, but the protestors were white racists. She justified the undocumented, unsupported DHS assessment and claimed that conservative political views were dangerous, and those holding them should be watched.

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., wrote a biting letter to Secretary Napolitano. He was "dumbfounded" that such an "assessment" had been sent out. He asked the secretary for a review and whether the civil liberties section of Homeland Security had approved the "assessment." It turns out that the civil liberties section was overruled by Secretary Napolitano, who ordered the "assessment" sent to local and state law enforcement agencies.

Thus the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, under the authority and approval of President Obama has declared people critical of the current admin, or people who voice opinions promoting liberty and libertarian or conservative ideas to be dangerous. As such the Obama administration and has asked local and state law enforcement to “scrutinize” it’s own people, while shaking hands with and making friends with the dictators of the world. What does this say about the current administrations and the fact that in writing it doesn’t trust you and is willing to have law enforcement “scrutinize” you if you don’t agree with him?
