Methinks They Dost Protest Too Much 0

Lola Adesioyem, writing in the Guardian, considers wingnuttery’s over-the-top reaction to the Department of Homeland Security’s report on right wing extremism (learn about the earlier report on left wing extremism here). She points out that it was a report on “right wing extremism,” and asks

When did “right wing extremist” defined by the report as “groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-orientated (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly anti-government…” become synonymous with everyday Republican?

When, indeed.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
