Episode 262: You Are an Extremist

I go through the Department of Homeland Security's 2009 Assessment on Right-Wing Extremism to show two things. The first being that not much has changed politically in the issues that affect Americans, and the security state being used to make the average person an enemy of the state.

The second being a wide swath of the American public, diverse in thought and identity, being wrapped up in the Right Wing Extremist label. The label is applied broadly, making it easier to be labeled.
