Hey Bear, hope you don't mind if I borrow your title for this thread;-)
You Ton? Never an issue bru...
Just beware the extremists in general!
Wiser words will not be spoke in this thread.
I figured it probably would be. The idea has merit though doesn't it?
Yes it does.
It makes more logical sense that extremist right wing groups would represent a larger threat with a liberal President, doesn't it?
They represented a serious threat under a wing nut like Bush Jr, Bush Sr, Reagan and so on. They are radical and they are armed. They take the Constitution seriously. Well the parts that thy like anyways...;-)
I don't read it as a slight against conservatives, just for those that embrace the fringe nonsense.
Bingo!!! But that won't stop the left fringe from pinning it to anyone that disagrees with them...;-)
With the recent messaging and framing of some conservative minded folks, like Glenn Beck's meltdown, or Chuck Norris and his statements, it's not a surprise to me that DHS would be interested in what kind of threats these represent.
They should have focused on them years ago.
Weren't there some environmentalists under surveillance a few years ago in your neck of the woods? I thought it was somewhere in New England.
There's actually a few enviro groups under the watchful eyes of the FBI.
The landscape has changed...
I disagree, there's just a new catalyst. The danger was always there.
The landscape has changed, but the the smoldering hate on the far right is very evident. It's a pity, but the spillover is present here in Canada. They cry "patriotism" to cloak their anger. I have very little patience for their "arguments."
No body has any patience for the fringe left, that may not be armed to the teeth, but would sell us out to those who are...;-)
Do they call themselves Brownshirts or Sturmabteilung?
:roll:
No, but anyone that wishes to be mature can view their names here...
Militia Links
Not the name of the link.
How come when Bush was in there was so much crap in these forums about a left-wing-controlled press?
Because there needs to be balance?
Why do folks need someone to blame to have something to say?
It's fun?
So, in other words, ignore the potential for other folks like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, or Michael Bray, or Bobby Frank Cherry? Because that's the proper thing to do...
Not at all. But funny how the left, not the fringe, but rather the moderate and mindful, that run org's like the ACLU. Will defend the fringe, no matter the political spectrun, to the bitter end.
You can lead a person to knowledge but you can't make them think!
The left fringe is a fine example of that...;-)
Actually, I thought one of the purposes of this thread, besides parody, was to remind people what law enforcement in the States, and CSIS and the RCMP in Canada, have known for years - that right-wing paramilitary groups, militias, white-supremacists, neo-nazis pose far greater a threat to security than those who espouse peace and brotherhood!
This is true, but the fringe left only hides behind that 'peace and brotherhood' mantra. In the end, the values they 'espouse', would and will do more damge to not only western society, but themselves as well.
You see, it doesn't matter what side of the fringe political spectrum you sit on. If you are a fringe, you are dangerous, period.
Fringe denotes a lack of objectivity. Which is seen daily on these boards. Where people, not unlike yourself, ignore fact, history and common sense, while spewing racism and blind ideology...
Just like the fringe right.
See how quickly the Left is willing to give up their rights because they are afraid of what a very small percentage might or may not do.
Woa!!! The fringe left?
I think not...
The left fought tooth and nail against the Patriot act and rightly so! The fringe just hung on for the ride, but they certainly would not give up their civil liberies! They ride them like a town bike. Using them for all manners of ill advised schemes and scandals.
Wonder how many non veterans were and are mass murders.
I wonder how many come home menatlly wounded and easily suseptable to be recruited?
Lets get everybody on the books, Canadians included. The ultra left really are a bunch of cowards.
I agree, and I add, you were easy on them.
There it is I've said live with it.
That's because we have convictions that make the whole picture and the well being of those we've served, the most important part of our ideologies. Compound that with our inate sense of right and wrong, our passion for the things we've sworn to up hold, like free speech and so on.
