terrorists seek to terrorize. i don't think in general right-wing militias are terrorist organizations. the KKK is a terrorist organization, yes, but anti-government militias are just that: anarchist. i also am weary of calling anti-government fighters "terrorists" in general, as this just tries to lump them in with people who are actually trying to kill and frighten civilians. vladamir putin, for example, calls all the anti-syrian forces "terrorists" even if they utilize no terrorist methods. so yes that does seem very redcoat.
Americans learn only from catastrophe and not from experience. -- Theodore Roosevelt
My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.
