Study Says Reverence for Liberty Sign of Terrorism
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 7 July 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 07/08/2012 4:20:01 PM PDT by John Semmens

A University of Maryland study funded by the Department of Homeland Security found that “persons reverent about individual liberty are likely to be right-wing terrorists.” “It makes perfect sense when you think about it,” said Secretary Janet Napolitano. “The phrase ‘individual liberty’ doesn’t appear in any of our nation’s founding documents. Its advocates are clearly and suspiciously out of step with America’s basic values.”

How many your posted articles have the key word “not worth reading”?

I imagine they would think that way.

So how many right-wing people have committed criminal acts?

By the Left's reckoning, all of us, with every breath.

***Nor is anyone forcing you to read my post to Semens. But you’re right, his stuff really isn’t worth reading.

Looks like the Secretary Bulldyke2, has thrown down the gauntlet so we know what to look forward to if they get reelected.

People who love liberty are always a clear and present danger to those who work against liberty.

The university did do a study, and there were about five categories, religious, separatist, left wing, and something like “ miscellaneous “ in addition to right wing.

So there WAS a study done.

The satire part is an add-on to it. In this case takes Napolitano and gives her way over the top quotes.

(I don’t like satire)

Hope this link works:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CFkQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstart.umd.edu%2Fstart%2Fpublications%2Fresearch_briefs%2FLaFree_Bersani_HotSpotsOfUSTerrorism.pdf&ei=5Rz6T-PfC4n49QSR-PzdBg&usg=AFQjCNEDQwQdL3RyHAHGthOS4qTcP0IMHA

I did a Google search on “ La_Free_Bersani” and about the fourth hit down is the above link to the actual study.

It is real.

I wish the satirist would include links to the real stories.

Your post is amazingly asinine.
First off, Mr. Semmens does not misspell words or write in the illiterate manner which seems so easy for you.

Secondly, what gives you so much joy in attacking a fellow Freeper? Seems very strange to me. You act like you might think he's some kind of Troll, but sweetheart, YOU'RE the Troll-ish one here.
Maybe it's the heat, or one too many hits of “something”, but you're really embarrassing yourself here. Better stop while you're ahead.

So, attempting to prevent and/or punish terrorism isn't itself a 'reverence for liberty'?

They condemn themselves no matter how they answer:

If they answer yes, then they admit that their anti-terrorism efforts are also a sign of being probable terrorists.

If they say no, then they admit that their anti-terrorism efforts are anti-liberty.

Could you include a link to the university study in the article?

I posted one down thread.

Then it would be clear what part is the news and what part is the satire.

The things going on in this country would have been thought unthinkable just a short time ago.

We are seeing things happen now that used to be mentioned in conspiracy-theory seminars.
