    This is EXACTLY what has been done to the world, by the "powers that be", NOT with Libertarian philosophies.
    This is an amazing write up that kills the hope that anything can happen to change this madness that has taken hold globally, unless the Libertarian infiltration takes place over a period of decades in order to MODIFY the minds of the people. This is how it has been done thus far by the evil ones and with much success, I may add.

    You make a very good point. Often it is argued that a member of a political party may commit an act of terrorism. However that does not mean the political party committed that act of terrorism.

    I watched it as a youth many times on Saturday mornings. I believe it was on the Bugs Bunny Road Runner hour. Kids didn't play with matches, they didn't wear knee pads or bike helmets... We didn't drink rat poison, or gasoline... the government didn't save us, yet we thrived... who would have thought... :)

    "Terrorists are not part of a standing government. They use violence to affect society."

    What about Hezbollah? They are a political party in power...and a terrorist group.

    Too funny! Where did you ever come up with this?

    Can you imagine little kids watching this and running to the garage to duplicate?

    Tyrannists are part of a standing government and use law and law enforcement to affect society. Terrorists are not part of a standing government. They use violence to affect society.

    Suicide bombers are the scourge of the earth, but cowards they are not. I can't imagine being wrapped in dynamite, and holding the trigger.

    Does remind me of a political cartoon I saw:
    Terrorist instructor wrapped in explosives standing in front of his class. He says,"pay attention now...I am only going to do this once."

    That, and their very nature as cowards dictates that they must obliterate themselves, thus avoiding the lynch mob which would surely show up to help them meet Allah. More slowly achieved.

    The government and the media have ways of turning normal people into extremists (terrorists). During the early '80s the survivalist movement was big amongst Libertarian types and then the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre occured. The media labeled him a survivalist and after that the term took on a different meaning to most people.

    Today, those same people are called preppers.

    After Sandy Hook, the press tried to label Adam Lanza's mother as a prepper and offered that as one of the main reasons that he was able to acquire the guns and ammo used to carry out his killing spree.

    The tyranny of the government and its lapdog pals in the media can take the actions of one bad apple and equate them to a terrorist (racist, anarchist, etc-ist) and give the whole group a bad name.
