if everyone is a terrorist...

[Jack Burton]

Our nation's singular focus on terrorism has led to various branches of the government and counterterrorism pundits declaring all sorts of things to be warning signs of terrorist activity.

You just have to love it. Anyone who doesn't wake up in the morning singing 'Obama is God' and believing everything around them is stellar is a terrorist.

Yep. I do a lot of things on that list in the article. I also take showers at night.

this is how they will do it, Reid already let the cat out of the bag publicly, calling patriots "domestic terrorists." Thats all they have to do, the masses will hear the word "terrorist" and not care what happens after that. This brings to mind the whole "being able to drone strike americans on american soil" issue not that was brought up not too long ago, and of course the liberals just love it. they can drone anyone they deem a "terrorist", i wonder when the first one will happen, my guess is not too long

At the rate of expansion of the federal government, either you will be employed by one of the agencies or a target of one. Would not be surprised to see a one to one agency per person being watched!

These days if you aren't being called a terrorist you're doing something wrong.

It will take time to train the population and they do it a little at a time so they don't wake up too many of the citizens. A lot of us talk tough, but it doesn't make a difference to them if a couple of sheep are louder than others as long as they stay with the other sheep. Did anyone notice when the DHS put Evangelical Christians as the #1 threat on the U.S. Terrorist Watch List? That was on Fox News for about 15 minutes and then it was gone. Al Qaeda was #6 on the list. They have an agenda and they have been prepping.

Conservatives have been targeted for some time now.

Most folks don't notice when it doesn't affect them, but the accusations just keep growing. Jay Sekulow's comments are the best.

Occupy Wall Street protesters are also on the suspected terrorist watch list and the FBI investigated the possibility of assassinating their leaders.

Reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr.

Kind of ironic, this guy is the real terrorist.

Wish the militia that protected Bundy showed up to protect OWS from these atrocities as well.

 

[OneShotFOGE]

Wow. Just wow. Theres only two on there that dont describe me, and one of those two is "being a journalist." This country is getting scary.

This reminds me of a scene in the new Captain America movie. Theyre talking about how they can control the world and with the use of one word, they'll get everyone to go along with whatever the people in power decide. They dont say the word, but it is clearly "terrorism."

 

[IndyDave1776]

Nothing new here. People are acquiescing through fear, leading straight back to Ben Franklin's words that those who would give up liberty for temporary safety deserve neither.

I have no complaints about the TSA, but then again, I don't have any young children.

To get a perspective from history on what is happening here find episode 2 - Chaos and Consent - from, The Nazis- A Warning from History. EVERYONE was suspect... The whole documentary is excellent, and frightening on how people are/can be manipulated.

Here is one part that is important to what we are seeing.

It would certainly help if those in legislative and bureaucratic positions were literate enough to read a dictionary.

ter·ror·ist
/ˈterərist/
noun
noun: terrorist; plural noun: terrorists
1.
a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims.

ter·ror·ism
/ˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
noun: terrorism
1.
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

If they possessed even the faintest ability to read, they would understand that they themselves are terrorists.
Protests, even if violent, are still a form of counter-terrorism.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

That's it, I'm a terrorist, and so is my son. Just come get us. Hint: don't do it, it's a trap! Gawd.

 

[zippy23]

all they have to do is label you as a terrorist. harry reid just did that to Bundy, calling him a domestic terrorist. This is how it will happen. Everyone opposed to the gov't or obama or the liberals will be branded terrorists and the media will follow suit and anything they do will be hailed as heroic since they are fighting "terrorism", its amazing how the use of words can have any result you wish over time. too bad the republicans dont wake up and use the right words.
