Michael van der Galien :Knew you'd get there eventually. Surprised you missed it the first time! I am in agreement that the government has a right to look into groups that may pose a danger. However, it was very poorly written in some areas and clearly not reviewed well enough before released, or that paragraph would never have made it out the door.I just re-read it all (and read moe lane’s piece) and fell over this tidbit: “those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority,”
That means everybody who espouses a federalist position, as Moe correctly points out.
That’s a problem: basically every traditional conservative and libertarian is now considered “an extremist.” Hell, the founding fathers are “rightwingers” now.
c3 :Sounds like an addition to my list of books to read.Maybe its just that I’m still pondering the history lessons learned after reading “The Looming Tower”.
