During President George W. Bush's two terms, you couldn't drive far without seeing a particular bumper sticker: "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." Now that Democrats control the White House and Congress, the left treats dissent as the lowest form of treason. When the left agitates over government policies, it's considered righteous anger. When the right - and much of the center - agitate, it's painted as the rantings of the criminally and violently insane.Now go read it all and wonder what kinda crap the Washington Times was trying to pull. I sure hope Ms Crowley got paid for that factual article.....
Hell, read some more before you go -
If this sounds familiar, it's because the Democrats have shown a disturbing pattern of demonizing those who disagree with them. A year ago, Mr. Obama's Department of Homeland Security issued a report for law enforcement called "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." It suggested that anyone who opposed abortion, illegal immigration and oppressive taxes, supported gun rights or served in Iraq and Afghanistan should be singled out for special attention. Why? Because such people might burst into a spasm of violence at any time. There was no mention of being on the lookout for potential violence committed by Islamic jihadists, even after actual acts of violence committed by an Islamic jihadist in Little Rock. (The Fort Hood shooting happened later.)I have the ugly feeling that a Waco 2010 is right around the corner with Big Sis in the Janet Reno role. Say, August or September - just enough time to spill some blood and postpone the elections...Crazy talk? I hope so.
In other words, if you go to church, believe in protecting innocent life, own a gun or defend your country, the Democrats consider you a potential enemy of the state. It was no coincidence that the Homeland Security report was issued just as the Tea Party movement was gaining real national traction.
What do you think?

We were required to read amd discus this article in my "Intro to Terrorism" class. The point that my professor was trying to make that there's a difference between "free speech" and "terrorism," especially when the country in question is (or was) an ardent supporter of free speech.
I know, it's shocking that I can be a conservative and be college-educated...
Divide and conquer baby!
Mimimedic: As one of three conservatives I know at ASU, I feel for you.
God bless both of you for putting up with that PC nonsense. It was thick on the ground 40 years ago when I was in college - the mind boggles at the density it must be up to.
It also appears that the ability to think for yourselves is strong in you, yes. Good that is.
Is any of this a surprise?
