    But you are a veteran.  And therefore on the list.

    OK. So maybe not on their list. ;)

    This document is from 2009. In 2023, you're just another Republican.

    Has the DHS changed their criteria?

    I don't know. I would assume that the Trump administration either agreed with or changed. While I was verifying the document before commenting, as I do, I learned that it got a lot of pushback and the following statement was issued. Please be aware that I am not defending this is any way, so no need to expect any further commentary from me.

    Yes they did get a lot of push back but really only on the veteran part.  No administration has been dumb enough to release it again.  It was an essay sent to police from DHS.  
    Given that Garland has treated parents attending school board meetings about porn in school libraries as possible terrorists....I doubt they changed much but learned not to make it so easy to confirm.

    I wouldn't be proud to admit any of that.

    I am opposed to our open border. 
    I am opposed to any carbon tax regardless of who it is paid to. 
    I am opposed to the USA submitting to any other world organizations.
    I have supported 3rd party candidates in the past. 
    I am glad, we have to constitution.  
    I am absolutely anti-abortion.

    I have no reason to feel shame or pride in these positions.
    The fact that our government thinks/thought these are extremist positions is a shame.
