Recently, Homeland Security has put forth a nine-page memo, urging local police to be on the lookout for particular bumper stickers at local "tea parties" taking place throughout the United States.

Police should watch for cars that display this sticker: "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart, Ron Paul for President, and No More New Taxes." The cars may be occupied by "extreme right wing people."

Also, Homeland Security is concerned that soldiers returning from the Far East may fall prey to the characters who drive vehicles displaying this sticker.

On the other hand, could it be that a bit of paranoia has taken grip with the far "left"?
