Note the difference he himself puts out between left-wing violence and right-wing violence:

He cites a few instances where left-wingers actually committed acts of violence and did so in groups, whereas he can only name one instance of actual violence committed by one person in regards to right-wing violence, the rest of the “evidence” being essentially tough talk.

The dream of having a socialist “anglosphere”(nothing ever really English about that sphere)guarded/protected by American hegemony is dead.

India turns to Russia,the UK increasingly looks to France and perhaps Europe.

A country that treats its soldiers as criminals,hires so many foreigners into its army(degrading the idea of a citizen soldier)is not capable of maintaining any form of power outside its borders.

So it turns to enforcing laws within and it will fail there as well.How many live within its borders anyway?

IF they were plotting to kill cops that's NOT ok.

I agree. So why is Bobby Rush in Congress, and why are Dorhn and Ayers free?

There is an old double standard at work, here, for one. Second, they don't pose a national threat if they were going after local police. That sounds like a strictly local beef to me, and not the type of thing that has any direct impact on the highest levels of government, nor something that could credibly be translated to a national threat by vast unrelated portions of the population in the mind of any critical thinker.

Once again, the MSM is taking the rare exception and trying to stretch it into the rule.

"The arrests dealt “a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States,” Attorney General Eric Holder said. "

Is Eric here talking about the group he pardoned when Slick wily left office?

Thanks for that insight. Remember that to divide and isolate is part of the Leftist paradigm. Most folks concerned about the unconstitutional activities of the Feds don't have a problem with the police, just the rules the police sometimes have to enforce. That does not translate to 'cop-killer' any more than disagreeing with Congress has had them all tarred and feathered on Capitol Hill.

I figured part of the whole "domestic terrorist" meme was to try to get people to envision OK CIty or something like it, with the result being that the Right Wing would go home and sut up like it did then (for the most part).

It won't happen this time, and it is my sincere hope that the Federal and MSM rhetoric does not end up creating enemies where none previoulsy existed.

Ok... You’re a Constitutionalist. Happy now? Of course the author of this screed wouldn’t at all like what I’d call HIM...

(BTW, did your silver leaf come after a gold one?)

All day I have been hearing these nutjobs described as a “Christian militia” on every news broadcast. If you look at their own postings, they are neither Christian in any mainstream way, nor a militia. They seem to be a cult based on one disturbed dude, his family and a few friends, fewer than a dozen in all. Since when does that constitute a “militia”?

Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is all part of the plan to demonize those opposed to the national socialists. Next will be their version of the Reichstag Fire Decree.
