I, "Low-Level Terrorist"

“Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism?”

— Attacking the Pentagon

— IEDs

— Hate crimes against racial groups

— Protests

The correct answer, according to the exam, is "Protests." [More]
Does this make me a suicide blogger?

note how the idea of terrorism is implicitly validated as an unqualified act.

see, initiating warfare, that's not "high-level crime." it can't be, because governments do it. which implicates even ours. which used to implicate the king, but today implicates voting.

by defending self-defense against terrorism on these terms, the government excludes you, the taxpayer, from what it means by "self." don't worry -- you'll still have access to the "proper channels" for your petitions.

of course.

I knew I'd see this here.

Yes, I protest. I do so rather vocally. So do many of my friends and most of my family. Nothing they do will stop me.

With CBP deciding that pocket knives are switchblades and now this, I'm beginning to think that they either want armed conflict or don't think the People would ever go that far against the Government.

Getting the People this riled up takes quite a bit. Messing with their Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Peaceably Assemble will do it.

Mike V's book Absolved is looking more and more realistic by the day...

Which makes the Dept. of Homeland Security look more and more like the Dept. of Assclowns. Socialists just can't help being who they are.

What amuses me is that the ACLU agrees with us on this yet still staunchly opposes the basic human right of self defense with arms.

Had those "other DoD employees who were unhappy with it and disturbed by it" stood on their principles and complained when actually taking the test, instead of meekly submitting for the sake of their jobs, Fox News might not have had to run an "expose" on this to get it removed.
