You're missing the point, which Infowars correctly points out for us:
The bill is ostensibly aimed at preventing race “extremists” and gang members from joining the Army, but since the Army already hires felons, criminals, racists and gang members, the real purpose behind the legislation is to codify the move to label gun owners, “anti-government” activists and tax protesters as domestic terrorists, a process that has been ongoing since at least the start of the decade.
The powers are sweeping and broad.
The AG will have the power to designate ANY anti-big government group as a hate group.
It will prevent members of small government groups such as "campaign for liberty" or tea party groups from admission into our armed forces.
Right now, most of the armed forces is composed of freedom loving southerners.
They are fixing to change that, this is just the first step.
Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ)
“While the amendment seeks to keep gang members and members of violent groups out of the military, the amendment by its language is much more broad. Specifically, it confers upon the Attorney General the ability to categorize groups as hate groups, and this sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as “extremists,” warned Franks.
“I take extreme offense that the federal government — through a report issued under the authority of a Cabinet-level official — would dare to categorize people who are “dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition or abortion or immigration” as “right-wing extremists” and it begs the question of whether the Attorney General, under Mr. Hastings’ Amendment, can look to the Napolitano report to decide who is an extremist, or can make the same categorization of the majority of Americans as extremists who may then be kept from joining the military, or who may be discharged,” said Rep. Franks.
Remember, being labeled a member of an extremist group under the Patriot Act now places you in the federal governments line of fire as it pertains to the war on terror.
Its essentially granting the power to the AG to label Americans as terrorists.

This bill is a tool to go after perceived enemies and get the sheeple to think it's alright. It sounds good on paper {not
really} but it seems a little to subjective. Do you think REV. Wright would be placed on this kind of list? He meets the requirements!
