A report on terrorism in the United States has been published by the Department of Homeland Security. The authors of the report are Gary LaFree, director of START and professor of criminology at the University of Maryland, and Bianca Bersani, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.
The goal of the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) program is to sponsor research that will aid the intelligence and law enforcement communities in identifying potential terrorist threats and support policymakers in developing prevention efforts.
And what should law enforcement agencies being looking for when it comes to domestic terrorism? Americans “suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty” and protecting their personal freedoms are categorized as extreme right-wing terrorists. The study claims that “right-wing extremists” are “groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent.”

Well then, if that's the dictionary we're using, I'm a "terrorist" and "extremist" on the Right. Guilty!!!!!
Most folks on this site are terrorists according to this statist definition.
Note that the authors of the “study” are from universities in Sissy-MaryLand and Marxistchusetts. What a surprise.
Jesus was a terrorist. He said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. These totalitarian stooges don’t realize that one day they will bow before Him.
‘IF YOU LOVE LIBERTY YOU MIGHT BE A TERRORIST’
And, IF YOU EXPECT YOUR REPUBLICAN NOMINEE TO DEFEND THE FIRST AMMENDMENT AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY YOU ARE AN OBAMA UNDERGROUND BOT.
Like for instance, Romney weighing in on the First Ammendment rather than running like a scalded dog from the subject our forefathers deigned to die for.
Our own side in a huff to defend, and even recommend, that Romney avoid being “dragged into” a teaching moment on the First Ammendment and American religious liberty. After all, harassing and intimidating a business that does not discriminate in hiring nor in serving it’s customers is
A-OK with him when it comes to gay intimidation and their enablers, and quite beneath the agenda of Ruse Romney, against someone who simply is not open for business on Sunday, and dares to exercise his free speech about why.
Our so-called conservative brothers say this a manufactured side issue developed by the Democrats that Romney should avoid, when it was Christian and conservative, Dan Cathy, who courageously stepped to the plate on this “side issue”, when he dared to speak, and did.
This was not manufactured by democrats. There is no excuse for defending the Romney brush off to such a crucial right of the people as free speech and religious conviction. To recommend it crosses the rubicon.
This is as well a religious liberty issue as a First Ammendment, all wrapped up in one little exhibit, called Chik Fil A.
You know my address.
How much was the taxpayer shafted for this garbage?
The people who wrote this and those who endorsed it have marked themselves off as the enemies of freedom and individual liberty. They will act on their beliefs at their own peril.
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."
A terrorist will deliberately kill, maim, injure or threaten innocent civilians to acheive his goal. That is not where the typical conservative constiutionalist wants to go.
If it becomes necessary, I will find ways to hurt the oppressors, be they blue helmets, state police, military or alphabet agency thugs. I probably wouldn’t be a lot of help in an ambush, but I can pass info to the fighters. I can figure out a way to get some poison into their supply chain, cause a barracks fire, sabotage vehicles, etc. The temptation could become strong to seek out their loved ones as the oppression increases, but two wrongs don’t make a right.
Still better than a sniffling, navel gazing narcissus , laggard loser liberal traitor.
