Alan C. Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Pentagon Labels Founding Fathers, Conservatives as Extremists The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute training guide was obtained by Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act Request. It was acquired from the Air Force but originated from the Pentagon.“This document deserves a careful examination by military leadership,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News. “Congress needs to conduct better oversight and figure out what the heck is going on in our military.”Included in the 133-pages of lesson plans is a student guide entitled “Extremism.”The DOD warns students to be aware “that many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights and how to make the world a better place.”Under a section titled “Extremist Ideologies,” the document states, “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”“It’s disturbing insight into what’s happening inside Obama’s Pentagon,” Fitton told Fox News. “The Obama administration has a nasty habit of equating basic conservative values with terrorism.”The Pentagon did not return telephone calls seeking comment on the training materials.The training guide warned that participation in groups that are regarded as extremist organizations is “incompatible with military service and is, therefore prohibited.”“It’s craziness,” Fitton said. “It’s political correctness run amok.”The training documents also focus on those who cherish individual liberty.“Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights and how to make the world a better place.”The document relied heavily on information obtained from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a leftwing organization that has a history of labeling conservative Christian organizations like the Family Research Council as “hate groups.” The Southern Poverty Law Center is an agitprop organization which uses character assassination, poison-the-well, race-baiting, and smear tactics against people who oppose the State. It's the modern equivalent of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Also see Racial Racketeering for Fun and Profit by Thomas DiLorenzo.
