We're fighting terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to fight them at home.

Terror From the Right
Almost 60 terrorist plots uncovered in the U.S.

In the 10 years since the April 19, 1995, bombing in Oklahoma City, in fact, the radical right has produced some 60 terrorist plots. These have included plans to bomb or burn government buildings, banks, refineries, utilities, clinics, synagogues, mosques, memorials and bridges; to assassinate police officers, judges, politicians, civil rights figures and others; to rob banks, armored cars and other criminals; and to amass illegal machine guns, missiles, explosives, and biological and chemical weapons. What follows is a list of key right-wing plots of the last 10 years.

1. And the radical left has set a couple of log trucks on fire. But who gets

described in the media as "(eco)-terra-rists"?

2. How many people on the political left have killed others for...

politics in this country in the past 2 decades? Compare that number to the amount of conservatives that have killed people in this country over the same period.

3. I don't think there have been ANY political murders by leftists in the

past 20 years, unless you count schizophrenic Ted Kaczynski.

[Solon]

4. I don't think he counts, really...

Luddites of his ilk are present on both sides of the political spectrum. Besides, Liberals generally like technology, just tempered with wisdom. Not all of us live in log cabins in the middle of the woods, after all.

5. Agreed. Kaczynski is not a lefty. He's a sad, dangerous very ill man.

Come to think of it, I'm kind of a Luddite. And I haven't had the urge to assassinate anyone lately. ;-)

6. heh, actually, I wouldn't mind living out in the middle of nowhere...

in a log cabin. Though I still need a computer, probably some solar panels, and a small wind turbine, for cloudy days of course. Or a water turbine if a stream is nearby. That would be cool, peace and quiet, plus SOME of the technology.
