GOING ON OFFENSE Part Four: Understanding the Enemy - Why They ARE Domestic Terrorists

[calimary]

From the DU thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025163643

Let's be clear. Let's not mince words. Let's be ACCURATE. These folks we're up against are nothing more or less than TERRORISTS. DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. Flatly. Pure 'n' simple. And they have to be met and challenged and LABELED exactly that way.

They will NOT give up easily. They won't give up, PERIOD. So we can't ever let down our guard. And we may have to start thinking more creatively or deviously - to outwit these domestic terrorists. Figure out another way. The OP just underscores it. It's NOBODY ELSE'S DAMN BUSINESS!!!! NONE of those busybody assholes know the circumstances that bring a woman, or a woman and her man or partner, to have to seek an abortion. NO WOMAN I know or have ever heard of would say "WHEEE!!! Cool! I'll just go get an abortion! Awesome! Easy-peasy!" NONE! It's not something you enter into lightly, or casually. These fuckers have no idea what is happening in the personal lives and bedrooms of those who wind up needing a termination of pregnancy. NONE.

Let's call 'em what they are. They're TERRORISTS. Every bit as vile and vicious and scheming as al Qaeda. But this type is home-grown. Domestic Terrorists. That is what they ARE. Whether they like it or not. Consider how the term "terrorist" is objectively and dispassionately defined:

Seems to fit - like a glove.

1. I agree. We are up against domestic terrorists. K&R

2. Many examples could be cited here.

Too numerous to count, actually.

6. Would you then cite an example or two every now and then to help kick up this post. I think

what Calimary suggests is extremely important in helping the Democratic Party to win in November.

3. Kicking. nt

4. And let me say one other thing. I'm as sorry as I can be, even to think such a thing.

On the one hand, these are my fellow citizens. My fellow Americans. For all I know with my crazy heritage we could be related, some of us. But on the other hand, I don't really know who these people are anymore. I'm trying to understand them, figure out what motivates them and makes them tick and fires them up on one particular side of the issues - the one I and others here clearly view as quite damaging and actively hostile to the idea of promoting and protecting the common good. But I just don't know these people. Don't recognize them except in those passages in the New Testament that deal with the mob that shrieked for Barabbas when given the choice between a murderer-in-custody and a targeted-for-imminent-crucifixion Christ. I look at those mobs in Murrieta CA and shake my head. THAT'S not America. At least the America I know and learned about as a child and always loved.

I wish I hadn't gotten here. I wish I hadn't found my way to this conclusion. But it sure felt as though this was bad-guy stuff. I looked up the term "terrorist" and then knew it didn't just feel that way. It WAS that way.

Just really shitty, isn't it?

5. They walk and talk like the incendiary extremist terrorists we know of from other religionist lands
