DHS report defines Right Wing Extreme terrorism

[bignflnut]

Here's the thrilling PDF

Extreme Right-Wing: 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 (for some the threat is from a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group), and believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.

Single Issue: groups or individuals that obsessively focus on very specific or narrowly-defined causes (e.g., anti-abortion, anti-Catholic, anti-nuclear, anti-Castro). This category includes groups from all sides of the political spectrum.

Does this Single Issue group definition make the Brady Bunch terrorists? NRA?

So everyone who lost power and trained to protect your home from looters...sing some Lee Greenwood. Happy 4th. We celebrate our independence from foreign invaders....

BTW...the State cannot commit a terrorist act:

The requirement that these events be limited to the actions of “non-state actors” means that considerable violence and terrorism that is directly attributable to states or their militaries is also excluded. And the requirement that the act have a direct political, economic, religious or social goal means that ordinary criminal violence is excluded. Thus, the GTD excludes state terrorism and many types of crime and genocide, topics that are important and complex enough to warrant their own separate analysis.

So how do you follow this act?

Counter to recent empirical findings, language diversity evidences a strong and significant positive relationship with terrorist attacks and ordinary crime. In particular, in future research we plan to identify and isolate potential effects of specific language groups.

Learn english, or you're a terrorist?

We've come full circle. I'd say the Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves, but, they've been rolling in their graves for quite some time now.

I'll excersize my 5th amendment rights on this one .

I loooove my country but hate my government.

*points finger* TERRORIST!!!!!

Don't push me to that point and it won't happen. The .gov is not the only one who can make lists.

If you know what a constitution is, you're a terrorist period. When the Fascist are in-charge, you are the enemy.

[pleasantguywhopacks]

Whether or not you are a terrorist is solely dependent on who is in power at the time of determination. They can try to classify me how every they want. It means little to how I live or how I will choose to live my life. Fear your government always and you will never be surprised when they come.
