You forget that when the terrorists are Christian, they aren't terrorists. They're "Patriotic Real Americans."

It seems to me that, in all fairness, these people should be treated like all other terrorist and placed in Gitmo and denied any legal representation and that they should also be tried by a military tribunnal and hung of found guilty. Why the double standard for Muslim terrorist and Christian or Jewish terrorist? Is it because most of the latter belong to the Republican Party?
If they are American citizens then they should be afforded all the rights granted by the constitution.

if they are not, then treat them like enemy combatants.

I may have missed the part about the coming race war or how the Republican Party opposes Freemason influence on the shadow government or its support for canned bean subsidies.
The Republican Party platform IS a white nationalist platform. They don't call it that but it is what it is. I figured that out when they opposed the Voting Rights Act extension a few years ago.

They are being treated as they should be.
The Militia Movement Today
Quote:
The militia movement is the youngest of the major right-wing anti-government movements in the United States (the sovereign citizen movement and the tax protest movement are the two others) yet it has seared itself into the American consciousness as virtually no other fringe movement has.

I don't remember Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, etc ever calling Timothy McVeigh a patriotic American.

I have however heard liberal politicans from the Democratic party say they look up to a mass murderer like Mao Zedong.

Right-wing militia groups are on the rise in the United States after nearly a decade of obscurity, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors hate groups and extremist activity.
Quote:
Fox News writes that conservative groups are dismissing the report, which they say relies on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report released earlier this year on right-wing extremism. They say that the DHS report relies on unofficial reports and unfairly lumps together legitimate critics of the Obama administration with radical militias, and as a result the new SPLC report is suspect for the same reasons.

They are attempting to brand all right-of-center protesters as potential domestic terrorists or extremists," [William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC,] said. "They are painting whole swaths of people as hate groups and extremists."
As for the purported rise in "militia" groups, which SPLC includes as part of the broader anti-government "Patriot" movement, Gheen said: "We're just not seeing it."

Interesting, don't you think?

A FundiMENTAList is a FundiMENTAList, Muslim, Christian or Jew.

So where is the "but they were just excercising their 2nd Amendment Rights," crowd
