My Countrymen, My Enemy
The Washington Dispatch ^ | Vincent Fiore

Posted on 11/19/2003 1:53:35 PM PST by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub

Recently, a Western Washington University student by the name of Paul Douglas Revak pleaded guilty to the charge of trying to obtain explosives. Revak, a self-proclaimed anarchist, apparently grew distressed over the Bush administrations handling of Iraq. Frustrated, Revak decided to enact his own policy initiative. Declaring war against the government, Revak plotted to bomb the U.S. Coast Guard station in Bellingham, and allegedly discussed with students the possibility of bombing other military installations such as the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and the Washington Air National Guard. Shockingly, the arrest of a possible terrorist in our midst received little to no attention from the media as a whole.....
Worthwhile clicking on the link and reading the whole article.

Too bad the slimy little SOB didn't get a chance to try it. Military base guards don't mess around, these days...

This guy has got to stop reading those left wing extremist web sites. He thinks the sky really is falling! He believes this country has some kind of a problem with President Bush. Calm down buddy.

The left is going friggen nuts. Soon, they'll be in such self-inflicted mental agony, they'll be biting chunks out of each others flesh.

Isn't that in your neck of the woods, Tonk?

Let's just say that as I grow older, I have less & less tolerance for vermin like this, or the power-line sabateur. Seems like we need to sharpen up some old laws on treason, sedition, giving aid to the enemy, and trot out the firing squad.

Notice how no one in the media has tried to blame this guy's actions on the "climate" created by the extreme anti-administration rhetoric of the Dems and liberals, as they tried to pin Oklahoma City and Matthew Shephard on the rhetoric of conservatives?

Actually groups like ELF/ALF, PETA, GreenPeace, etc have been conducting terror, or terrorist like, attacks for years. The Left has also sent money (indirectly) and moral (directly) support to terrorists through organizations like MoveOn and ANSWER. These "peace ralleys" in DC and San Fransico had speakers activly calling for attacks on the Gov't and military. Stange, isn't it, that 10 years ago when so called militias were even accused of calling for attacks that the FBI and BATF were all over them, but now, not a peep about action against these leftists organizations. Various military bases have witnessed spouses and soldiers being accosted and we all know about the deceptive Red Cross death notification scams and the heartbreaks they cause.

So, in answer to your point, it didn't take long for the Left to plan attacks at all.

But other posters are correct. Attacking a military base directly with anything less than main battle tanks is tantimount to suicide for the attackers. If you think soldiers fight incredably hard for God and Country, just wait till you see how hard those of us left to man the bases at home fight to protect our and our fellow soldiers' Families if and when these leftists and their terrorist thug allies attack..

Thanks for the heads up. No major coverage in the press, and a federal public defender says this:
~~~~~

“ I don’t think Paul has a mean bone in his body. I think he was expressing his frustration with how the administration was dealing with the Iraq situation and got a little carried away.” So says the federal public defender for Revak, Thomas Hillier.

Plea bargaining the charge down to trying to obtain explosives, Hillier procured for his client a sentence of anywhere from 6 months to 10 years. Hillier hopes to have his client home for Christmas.

~~~~~~~~~~
Passing this on to more responsible pundits and pols.

These domestic terrorist-wannabes need to hear from "we the people" when they threaten our loved ones, our property, our country.

Immerse kids in hatred and incite them to violence enough, and eventually they will start acting on it.

This guy is nothing more than a properly indoctrinated tool of Democrat/Communist treachery.
