Are YOU a Terrorist?

Terrorism%20Awareness%20and%20Prevention.jpg

Very disturbing…

According to the state of Pennsylvania, it seems that a lot of people are...if they:

*Oppose gun control;

*Believe that juries have the power not to convict people who break unjust laws;

*Believe that the federal government has no legal authority to interfere with taxes or require licenses.
Uh-oh… would James Madison be a “terrorist”? Posted by Tom Palmer at May 15, 2007 12:17 AM | TrackBack

Wow.

I highly recommend everyone go through the entire course.

By doing so I learned that anarchists are a variant of terrorist who:

"believe every organization or government will eventually be corrupted by power"

"focus on specific issues that represent corruption of power"

I learned that American Indians are terrorist if they:

"push for a return of 'stolen' lands
and self-determination"

Single issue terrorists include:

• Environmentalists
• Animal Rights
• Pro-Life
• Anti-Nuclear/Anti-War
• Gay Rights
• Anti-Geneticists (opposed to genetically altered crops)

And the citizen who wishes to join in the fight against terrorism should always keep in mind:

"Some indications of possible trouble may include:

• Controversial issues being debated."

There's no mention that I could find that one might hold the above beliefs and *not* be a terrorist. The closest was that law enforcement believes the above have both mainstream and fringe elements... with no suggestion that mainstream elements aren't terrorists.

This is very bad stuff.

It is a stupid site.

But, it does admit:

"What makes an individual a terrorist is the choice to pursue these beliefs by committing crimes."
