Ter·ror·ist (Noun): Anyone Who Disagrees With The Government

The Department of Homeland Security and police forces label anyone who they disagree with – or who disagrees with government policies – as “terrorists”.

Don’t believe me?

Well, according to a law school professor [8], pursuant to the Military Commissions Act, “Anyone who … speaks out against the government’s policies could be declared an ‘unlawful enemy combatant’ and imprisoned indefinitely. That includes American citizens.”

And according to an FBI memo [9], peace protesters are being labeled as “terrorists”.

Anyone who disagrees with the “acceptable” way of looking at things is a terrorist.

How is this different from Stalin or Mao’s use of labels such as “enemy of the state”?

This may have seemed over-the-top to some, but events have proven it true.

With this definition Obama will be able to put all of us away in prison camps and throw away the key. Because with the signing of the NDAA we won't even have due process. No criminal charges, no trials by your peers. Just locked away for life.

I'm not sure many people understand what he did signing that-what was it almost midnight New Years Eve. Seems more would be upset at the stage it sets for a whole new way of life in the U.S.
as we know it.

1102-There are over a quarter of a billion privately owned guns in America. That doesn't include those that aren't registered. We don't spray and pray like those in the middle east. If it comes down to it, the military will back the citizens, not DC.
