It is an interesting look at how even conservatives can be buy into the lies of the left, in this case PETA and the Burger King announcement re the PETA PEAT Moss Burger. I took a lot heat for daring to expose what really happened on this Rico deal. (Original Thread on Burger King and their new Peta Peat Moss Burger)
I have a conservative black friend who says follow the money whenever something like this is announced. Often the money trail uncovers some real shady deals.
They have forced hundreds of people whose livelihoods depending on logging and forestry products out of their jobs due to their economic terrorist activities.
It is worth noting that alf/elf (same faces, different hat du jour) seldom take responsibility for their actions until several days after an event. Some have suggested that they are meticulously avoiding accountability when lives are lost or serious injuries occur. I wonder how a truthful list of their atrocities would read.
All of the ists lie. When they were making the mountain lions a protected species in Kali and Oregon, we heard the mantra that mountain lions had never killed a single human. My retort then was how do we know that. A single person attacked and killed in the wilderness and eaten by the lions and the buzzards might not leave any signs after entering the food chain.
Then we started hearing about humans being killed by mountain lions and partially eaten after the cougars became protected species. So much for their mantra re no humans had ever been killed by lions.
This is what makes politics. 1% of the population agrees with you that these scumbags aren't terrorists, 20% will defend anything they do to America/Americans (same ones who defend the Islamic Terrorists), and eventually about 80% will see their actions as politically and $ driven acts of terrorism!
If I lose my job due an act of terrorism by al Qeada/al Fuqra or by an act of economic terrorism by ALF/ELF/PETA or the Anarchists in Oregon. The result is the same. I lost my job due to terrorism, an act of violence commited for a political and economic reason.
"terrorism n the act of terrorizing; use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy."
ELF and ALF's tactics are the dictionary definition of the word.
Why should someone have to be physically injured or killed in order to be considered a victim of terrorism? A person's whole life's work being destroyed by an unseen enemy should certainly qualify as terrorism.
I'd love to see followup reports on the victims of these hideous people, and how their lives have played out in the aftermath of the attacks.
People have committed suicide after the IRS has taken everything they own - what difference does it make the manner of the theft and destruction of the property? The effect is the same - it's gone.
An excellent point, kitchen.
They do go out of their way to emphasize their concentration on evil property, not people.
How many arsons resulting in deaths and injuries have they been responsible for? Very good point.
HorseHillary! You are as far off-base as these leftist wackos are,but in the opposite direction. Look at the rivers and lakes that were so polluted nothing lived there that have now been cleaned-up. Remember the "Brown River" in Cleveland actually catching fire? Look at all the animals that have been brought back from the edge of going extinct that are now flourishing now,some flourishing too damn much.
In short,there has to be a reasonable balance.
I live on the West Coast and have seen the effects of this eco terrorism on the innocent people out here and their families the real innocent victims!
I, also, classify gang violence on innocents as acts of terror or terrorism!
Going back to another area agreement, how do you fill about the dis/miss/and maybe truthful info that the Iraquis and others are getting from Rummy and probably our CIA. It has been a moving picture of beauty the past few weeks!
Here is your definition of terrorism that I'm in full agreement:
"terrorism n the act of terrorizing; use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy."

Notice how the bad guys try to change the language like define is and sex?
But who will determine the truth?
The teachers use the same flawed data and biased reports as the enviro-wackos.
