I didn’t notice: Are you a member of Free Republic?

Our government at it's best, more accurately Missouri's, but whoever established this policy may catch Holder's eye. He just knows that somewhere out there is another danger to the nation, so skip the airports, skip foreign intelligence, and checkout anyonle living more than 20 miles from a major town.

are not suspect if you have an "I like Osama" bumper sticker on your car.

You are not a suspect if you attend regularly attend a Wahhabi mosque.

You are not a suspect if you are preaching hate and anti-Americanism in a church formerly attended by the president of the United States.

You are not a suspect if you are a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Did you support Ron Paul ?

That's grounds for calling the guys in a white van right there...

[Huck]

Of course they are a threat to the gubmint. Our founding fathers were a threat to the gubmint. I don't blame the gubmint for their thinking. It's what gubmints do. I blame the populace for being brainless cattle with no sense of the danger all gubmints represent.

This is what all gubmints crave and strive for.

[Huck]

And yes, the cops will go along with the gubmint every step of the way. They are not to be trusted.

Do you display an American flag?
Don't most police uniforms have a flag on the shoulder?
In most cases, when displaying a country's flag is suspect, that country has been invaded and conquered. We have not been conquered yet.

"Any of these characteristics.."

Dang! Only 4 out of 6.

Gotta try harder.

I was thinking this looked a lot like the old Project Megiddo of late in the Clinton administration.

Sure enough, I'm not the only one.

Interestingly, the acronym for my university is Carnivore/Echelon bait.

[Dead Corpse]

Not a Paul supporter per se. I didn't vote for him nor did I donate to his campaign. I do support quite a few of his ideas re: RKBA, private property Rights, sound fiscal policy, and Constitutionally limited Government. I once ran on the LP ticket for a US House seat.

So yeah... I may be screwed under the new definitions. I'm also applying for a MN/UT carry permit. If it comes back denied, despite my having a squeaky clean record, then I guess I'm on someones list.

[JimRed]

You are more likely to be a militia member...

IIRC, the militia is defined as all able bodied male citizens between the ages of 16 and 45 years.

[Joe Brower]

I would also add "Did you buy a gun where a NICS check was performed?"

If so, they already have your name, address, and everything else.

You know the one thing I keep noticing when people talk about the government? - we continue to allow them (govt) to believe that we work for them, that they are a separate entity - when in fact they work for us and WE ARE the govt. We need to turn the around.

[mbynack]

This reminds me of the Soviet Union. They use to put crazy people in institutions or send them to Siberia. They defined "crazy" as anyone who disagreed with the government.

I foresee a catch 22 on gun ownership. You have to be sane to own a gun and anyone who wants to own a gun can’t be sane.

Violent types:

And so it begins.

I'm no Ron Paul fan, but it seems a little upside down. Real domestic terrorist types like Bill Ayers now hold high positions in education and buddy up to the President, or not. Is it that regular Americans who oppose anything on the left are now the new enemy? I guess we know who'll be filling those new domestic detention centers and who the new homeland militia will be trained to spot - any dissenters.

[bayouranger]

Bump!

[Smokin' Joe]

Sounds like Morris Dees' Outfit (the Southern Poverty Law Center) is back in the saddle, declaring decent, God-fearing Americans to be "terrorists" again.

No surprise, there, just the same old twisted crap.

Unfortunately, this plays into the paranoia inherent in extra-constitutional law-enforcement activities, and will be heeded by those who have isolated themselves behind the thin blue line and those LEOs who hunger for power and fear (yes, fear) the people they serve.

As for the "list", what's one more?

If someone is worried about "being on the list" they probably are already, to the extent there is one.

I figure I'm on a bunch of lists, even though I've never had more than a traffic ticket.

When you fill out the paperwork, just sign your name large enough that they can read it without their glasses. (arcane reference to Mr Hancock.)

One more thing, for the unwary. The guy in the room spewing standard "hate speech" specifically directed toward a particular group and advocating specific acts of violence in the area, complete with a plan and goading others to act on it may well be a government plant setting you up.

Know (personally, over years) who you are dealing with, it only takes one loose-lipped agent provacateur to bring down an entire organization in the press or in court. Usually they will be a n00b, new to the area, buddying up to everyone, but whose story will have holes in it. If you are cautious, the real people's past will add up and all they say will be verifiable, the informants' story just won't flange up with their actions or verifiable data.

Be careful out there, don't let your gun group become branded as 'terrorists'.

[Little Ray]

Great. We have a terrorist protege in the White House, and the Missouri police are worried about Libertarians...
