No it is not, and you are a damn fool to think it is... What they are doing is, using this term to label prepers, and people who hate what they govt is doing to people as terrorist, any one who would stand up against tyranny as well are called terrorists... They even call our founding fathers terrorists... There is no such thing has a homegrown terrorist if the terrorist came from a different country to ours to harm any one of our citizens... Unless you just simply look at the word, homegrown, becasue technically, a terrorists that is trained somewhere else to come here and harm people could be homegrown, but see notice how the govt doesn't explain in further detail or mention where the terrorist come from when they say homegrown??? It is all about what they say and how they say it and what they don't include... It is all in the language... If you know how this works in regards to the govt, you would be able to predict what will happen next or what they mean when they say stuff...
