The Associated Press | A new document meant to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify militia members or domestic terrorists has drawn criticism for some of the warning signs mentioned.
The Feb. 20 report called "The Modern Militia Movement" mentions such red flags as political bumper stickers for third-party candidates, such as U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who ran for president last year; talk of conspiracy theories, such as the plan for a superhighway linking Canada to Mexico; and possession of subversive literature.
"It seems like they want to stifle political thought," said Roger Webb, president of the University of Missouri campus Libertarians. "There are a lot of third parties out there, and none of them express any violence. In fact, if you join the Libertarian Party, one of the things you sign in your membership application is that you don't support violence as a means to any ends."....
I'm of two minds about this:
One, Ron Paul always did oppose the "Homeland Security" bullshit and the war in Iraq. This MIAC is
the same as lumping Greens and the Lefty part of the Democratic Party in with terrorists.
Two, I am enjoying lots of
Schadenfreude reading the complaints about this on Free Republic.
Apparently, the Freepers don't like the "TERRA!" scam when it's pointed at *them*. Guess they
don't like the Patriot Act so much now. Snork.
