Oh Crap….

Here come the thought police. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill creating a Committee on UnAmerican Activities NATIONAL COMMISSION ON THE PREVENTION OF VIOLENT RADICALIZATION AND IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE. One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Harman (D-CA), said:

“We must intervene before a person crosses the line separating radical views from violent behavior, create an environment that discourages disillusionment and alienation, and instill in young people a sense of belonging and faith in the future.”

Do you have, or have you ever expressed any sort of “radical” views (to either side of the political spectrum)? If so, congratulations, you are a threat to the security of the fatherland homeland.

Here is a list of the sponsors of the bill:
