re: #603 MacDuff

Maybe a more appropriate question would be on what point, in my post, do you disagree?

I can’t say that I disagree anything per se in your comment in question.

The problem, however, is that many of us believe that our government is demonstrating an agenda (perhaps made more poignant for those of us who live in Missouri, considering the similarities between the now-retracted MIAC militia report, and the DHS report) - an agenda that attempts to conflate rightwing ideology (as well as not only lawful, but explicitly Constitutional militia activity) - as potentially extremist and therefore potentially violent (and even “terrorist”).

Instead of arguing left, right, and the degrees thereof, maybe we should all just come to a consensus that terrorism is terrorism and if it springs from our particular ideology, the response should be repudiation, not denial. Denial marginalizes all of us.

We are not the ones who need to understand this statement. We already do understand it. Apparently, though, our government does not.
