Re: Militiamen plot terror attack
Okay. This I get.
Religion and politics I agree whole heartedly with you. On the other hand, I just don't see how you can separate business and politics. Business is how the economy functions and it touches everyone of us everyday in innumberable transactions. Government regulates how business is done, if it doesn't bad, bad bad things happen: unregulated free markets, general corruption (how do you verify that that gallon of gas you got is actually a gallon and not .85 of a gallon? Or that certain foods are safe?), etc. How govt. regulates business is determinative of "What's good for the people". People are business and vice versa. It can't be removed from the political equation.

I'm not saying that government shouldn't make decisions for or based on businesses. I should more or less say "Big Business" should be separated. The majority of jobs in America are due to small business owners, yet the majority of regulation favors big business. They constantly get tax breaks and ship jobs overseas. They are deregulated which allows them to do shady things that lead to economic downfalls, and then expect taxpayers to bail them out.

Didn't Bush and the war supporters say the same thing when they claimed to "liberate" the Iraqi people?

Re: Militiamen plot terror attack
Will be very interesting once all the details come out. If the allegations are true, throw the book and these idiots and lock 'em away.

No but I am sure there are some redneck hicks who believe external wars are about protecting the constitution. I believe team Bush called it "collateral damage" which apparently detached America from any wrongdoing as far as civilian deaths.

Re: Militiamen plot terror attack
What about the irony that the political right generally claims to protect us from terrorism yet here are terrorists growing organically out of the far right?

When you compare the ideology of the far right homegrown terrorists and far right Muslim terrorists, their overall mindsets (violence to protect belief system) and targets (U.S. government) are similiar they just have different philosophies that fuel their anger/hate.
