Department of Homeland Security getting crazy?

[Captain Vlad]

The right wing also prides themselves on their loyalty and service to their country. I'd say that makes them far less likely to take violent action against it.

Doubtful. There are right-wing nutcases just like there are left-wing nutcases, and all it takes to drive these kind of folks to violence is something offending their vision of how 'the country should be'.

For example, you and me likely have more than a couple of political differences, and I wouldn't even characterize myself as 'left wing'. Neither one of us, however, seems to be the type to seriously consider the other one to be deliberately turning the good ol' US of A into a communist workers paradise or a goosestepping fascist dictatorship.

But you have people on both sides...not very many thankfully...who would, and who would feel entirely justified in killing either one of us to further whatever vision of America they possess. They don't see it as betraying their country. Few people perceive themselves as the 'bad guy' after all.
