Janet Napolitano and her staff at the Homeland Security Department are warning local law-enforcement agencies that they should be on the lookout for "right-wing extremist radicalization."

Though there are no specific threats, the department worries that the economic situation and the sea change ushered in with the first black president could bolster violent radicals here within the United States.

The eight-page report, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," warned that all of these factors "could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists," according to The Washington Times.

Reuters offers more information:

"To the extent that these factors persist, right-wing extremism is likely to grow in strength," DHS said.

The report warned that military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat skills could be recruitment targets, especially those having trouble finding jobs or fitting back into civilian society.

The department "is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities," the report said.

The right isn’t the only subject of State Department investigation: left-wing groups have also been reviewed. According to officials, "the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years." Hooray! Something else to worry about — sheesh!
