We have learned during the course of the "War on Terror", that uneducated, under-employed, racist, disaffected men are the prime societal demographic who become terrorists.
That is why it was disturbing to read this on CNN.com today:
...a recent post on a blog encouraged people to throw bricks at local Democratic offices nationwide.
The Alabama-based blog, called "Sipsey Street Irregulars" http://sipseystreetirregulars.... a "window war" against Democrats and has kept a tally of the recent incidents of damage...
Blogger Michael B. Vanderboegh of Pinson, Alabama, told CNN Monday that in a Friday blog...he called for people to break windows at Democratic headquarters at the city and county level.
"My answer is violence, by getting their attention...if we can get across to the other side, that they are within inches of provoking a civil war in this country, then that's a good thing."
Now, I don't know the background of these so-called "3 Percenters", but my guess is they are not holding advanced degrees or celebrating America's diversity.
After surfing their Web site, I learned that they hate "Arabs" and "liberals", and blame everything wrong in their lives on everybody but themselves, tus justifying their extreme actions.
What do you get when you substitute in "Americans" and "Christians" in the above sentence? Why you get a terrorist - and that is what these groups are willing to be.
At every accomplishment of the current administration, at every improvement enacted by Congress, I still hold out hope that people will begin to realize the benefits of progressive governance, and the logic of equal social and economic opportunities for all.
The Republican party has to be reminded they share in the responsibility of governing this nation. Unfortunately, they continue, time and again to shirk that responsibility. The rhetoric used by the Republican party and their allied "tea partiers" have energized most, if not all, domestic anti-government groups (ie, domestic terrorists).
