Homeland Security insults Americans with warning over Ft. Hood attacks

Conservatives and the general populace do not need to look far to see what the Obama administration thinks of them, only as far as the Department of Homeland Security.
The Associated Press reports that while in the United Arab Emirates, DHS secretary Janet Napolitano warned against an anti-Muslim backlash after the attack at Fort Hood last week, during which Army Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, an America-born Muslim serving the Army as a psychiatrist, shot and killed 13 people and wound 38 others. Hasan was reportedly distraught at his assignment to be deployed to Iraq and had been giving away his possessions, saying he “won’t need them anymore.”
"This was a terrible tragedy for all involved," Napolitano told reporters in the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi. "Obviously, we object to -- and do not believe -- that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this… This was an individual who does not, obviously, represent the Muslim faith.”
This should not be a surprise at all just a few months after Homeland released their threat assessment of right-wing terrorism, which cited the religious, pro-life advocates, returning war veterans and gun owners as potential threats.
This clearly shows what the current administration thinks about its own citizens. They are either too stupid or too bloodthirsty and uncivilized to distinguish between one crazy man who apparently succumbed to the Islamofacist ideal of jihad and between a large group of people who decry needless violence.
It is also curious how the administration goes out of its way to assuage situations regarding one religious extreme and not another.
The case in point is the infamous late-term abortion doctor, the late George Tiller’s murder in May. He was also senselessly murdered by a crazy man while Tiller was serving as an usher at his church in Wichita, Kan.
Pro-life groups damned the murder in multiple ways with various methods, realizing that one man’s screw up should not classify the entire movement. In a debate in which one group wants to preserve life, the taking of life obviously does not help the cause at all.
But what did the Obama administration have to say after the Tiller murder about pro-lifers, gun owners and Christians, who are generally the most outspoken on the abortion issue?
As far as I can tell, neither he nor anyone in his administration warned against stereotyping any of those. Instead, I only find candidate Obama’s telling statement of small-town Americans “clinging to guns and religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” out of bitterness.
John McCain and Hillary Clinton both chastised him, saying he was out of touch with normal people, according to foxnews.com.
And he has so far conducted his term in the same way – pandering to special interests and insulting our intelligence.
