WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced a new DHS "Check Your Privilege Before You Say Something™" public awareness campaign created in cooperation with the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and ACLU.

The nationwide campaign highlights the Department's continued efforts to partner with social justice activists, Muslim organizations, and minority pressure groups to ensure the safety and security of their members and field operatives.

"Partnering with CAIR and ACLU is another way that DHS is engaging with the American public in our shared efforts to ensure fairness, social justice, and safety of every one of their agents at the expense of homeland security," said Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson.

"This campaign is a simple and effective way to engage the public to recognize and report indicators of white, heterosexual, and middle-class privilege, bigotry, and Islamophobia to the proper law enforcement authorities, as well as to ACLU and CAIR over specially funded hotlines," he said.

DHS will continue to expand the "Check Your Privilege Before You Say Something™" campaign nationally to raise awareness among various Islamic and progressive groups about how they can remain vigilant and play an active role in keeping themselves and their organizations safe from America's citizens, businesses, and communities.

"This worthy cause will require all of us to sacrifice some of our privileges, but that is a small price to pay for the fundamental transformation of our country as promised by president Obama when he took office," said Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson.

Komrade Red, how often should I check my privilege? Every couple hours like a woodstove? And should I keep it in a room, cage, or let it roam freely? I was looking to get some. On the outside I look like cis-white male but I actually identify as an agendered two-spirit, I am black, asian, and latino at the same time, and I am a trans-species dodo bird who is an otherkin sea monkey. I actually live in the northeast US but I identify as living in the Bahamas, really helps with the taxes and I have tropical weather year-round!

[OFF]

I don't care about CAIR, and I wish I could say "see you!" to the ACLU. Don't get me started on these "social justice warrior" imbeciles who advocate the "checking of privilege", which in the end is just political correctness censorship.

This is a wonderful project for Dear Leader's minions, especially so when one remembers that Washington and NYC are usually the terrorist targets.

This is wonderful!

Lev, don't you know by now that Dear Leader is bad word? Check your priviliges, most unequal one!

DHS and the Dearborn Muslim community: A relationship on the rocks?

On January 13, Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson trekked to Dearborn, Michigan, where he spoke to students and law enforcement at the University of Michigan, Dearborn about the department's efforts to engage the Muslim community. He also met privately with student leaders in a meeting closed to media.

[...]

Contrast the secretary's comments with a poster on the website of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Michigan chapter, exhorting readers: “If the FBI contacts you, contact us.” The poster supplies CAIR-Michigan's telephone number, 248-559-2247. While the FBI is part of the Department of Justice rather than the Department of Homeland Security, the message is consistent with CAIR's oppositional attitude regarding government efforts to counter violent Islamism – including its opposition to a bill that would fund DHS counter-extremism efforts. The Arab American Institute has likewise been critical of government efforts to counter “violent extremism.”

Local Muslim religious leaders like Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi, leader of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn Heights, have also denied a connection between Islam and the crimes of violent Islamists. Unlike, for example, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has called for a religious revolution within Islam, or the recently launched Muslim Reform Movement, which openly states it is in a “battle for the soul of Islam,” Elahi speaks of Islam as a victim of Islamist terrorists and urges, “Don't blame Islam for the evil actions of its enemies.”

Johnson parroted the administration's party line, “the very essence of the Islamic faith is peace,” but also called on the community to speak up against extremism in order to counter ISIS. The administration has received pushback on the latter request from groups like CAIR, and it also seems contrary to the message of Elahi and other religious leaders in the Dearborn area.

For all the administration's bending over backward to include Muslim groups like CAIR and its fellow travelers within the Muslim community, perhaps the latter's efforts to obstruct government anti-terror efforts are beginning to register within the administration. Maybe he thought a group that tells its constituents, “If the FBI contacts you, contact us,” isn't the right partner for a talk urging listeners, “If you see something, say something” to law enforcement. Perhaps Johnson decided the leadership of the local Muslim community in and around Dearborn are a bit too radicalized and uncooperative to make engagement with them productive and has written them off as a practical reality.

is it, "Watch your mouth" or "Wash your mouth?"

If you don't watch your mouth, then wash your mouth, it's as simple as that.

Thanks, Stierlitz,

I knew that! But, now that you have clarified it I feel so much better. Whew!

Lev, I prefer the "wham-bam thank you hand" action. Some o' that anywhere, anytime, don't cost a dime action. Some o' that polishing the brass doorknob action. Some o' that Playing with the People's Kube action. Because even in pleasure we must think of the Kube.

Only if I was really, really, REALLY desperate. I'd have to use a paper bag with duct tape, at least 25 condoms, and an entire bottle of Cialis. You'd better believe that I'd be super gluing my ass shut.

I denounce Comrade Штирлиц for this bigoted homophobia and close-mindedness.

That said, gentlemen, can we, perhaps, leave the unmentionables unmentioned on this collective forum of ours?

You're right Komrade Mi, that WAS a bit off-color. But, the thing is, there's a device implanted in my colon that allows the State to monitor how much I'm eating and reduce or increase my ration accordingly. I HAVE to make sure that nothing gets stuck up there, otherwise I might have the KGB at my door. And what better way than a good old-fashioned gallon of superglue? I once tried a cork and a blacksmith's hammer, but it felt like I was trying to squeeze out a bowling ball, and it just popped out 10 seconds later.

Comrade Monkey can probably help with that. He's taken on more difficult cases.
