Well, the Environmental Religious Cult topples some towers near Seattle, yet we are "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists".

Despite not being stated, any "environmentalist" group is nothing more than a religious cult, in my eyes.

Now, around the same time, the current administration is basically stating that by not falling in line to suckle at Nanny-Guv'ment's teat for this Death-Care garbage, we're "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists". I shit you not:

"All 50 States are coordinating in this -- as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped into a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders."

Allow me to retort. Ahem.

I am not whipped into a frenzy by any media outlet, figure, etc. I am a calm, rational individual, with no intent to do harm to my country, no matter what ills I see it in. I don't need a media figure to inform me that:

1) America is going to shit, quick, and the current administration's got the petrol-pumper pegged
2) Apparently the people showing up to the town hall meetings are "Domestic Terrorists" too, no doubt? Funny, they looked to me like my 90-year old next door neighbor Mae, but, you know, who the hell am I to make a judgment call. She might have Weapons-Grade Cookies in her purse. :rolleyes:
3) Matter of fact, anyone who disagrees with the policies of this administration appear to be "Domestic Terrorists". That sounds familiar...
4) Bailouts, Bankster-Back-Slapping, "Health" Care Bills, "Redistributive Change"; no, I don't need anyone but the Administration itself to whip me into a frenzy.

For example:

"that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf"-Barack Hussein Obama

If it walks like a Communist, talks like a Communist, then...

I'm sorry folks, but the wording of the Obama Website's post is eerie, and reeks of revolutionary propaganda; and in perfect Orwellian form, actually has the audacity to call something else propaganda. Audacious. The arrogance of these people in unbelievable. It knows no bounds.

"Propaganda is communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda."-Wikipedia

Come on, first it was "returning veterans are domestic terrorists".

Now my grandma is a "domestic terrorist".

Get real. No, I don't need Fox News to whip me into a frenzy; you're doing a good enough job yourselves.

On a side note, does any of this sound familiar:

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!” —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

QuietShootr-Solzhenitsyn's words today would be considered those of a terrorist.

To others, words of a freedom fighter.

I believe that these groups ARE listed as potentially tango organizations.

We are going to have a helluva ride for the next five years...

Um, if you go to the FBI's website the only domestic terrorists on the top wanted list are Left Wing people, and the only ones that were added for crimes in the last fifteen years were ELF and ALF members. So what's your point? Seems like the government has it's priorities in line with your thoughts, even if the spin doctors don't.

Also while still trying to stay in the middle of the line (even though I know people will call me a lefty for saying this). I find it amusing that no-one has ever died from an ELF attack, but yet right wing extremist groups have a tendency to kill pretty readily. A radio tower seems to be a higher priority then an abortion doctor and his family. (oops did I say that out loud).
