You mean a certain group like ALF? They are known militant environmentalists as well a group like PETA who should be watched.

And 'ecoterrorism' accounts for how many events per year at a cost of how many dollars?

And how many innocent civilian lives or civilian properties are at risk? As opposed to local corporate interests.

So what the hell is the FBI doing worrying if someone is planning to unlock some poorly treated cattle or deface a corporate headquarter when your ports and nuclear facilities and hundreds (if not thousands) of chemical plants remain insecure?

You trust the government to 1)tell you the truth, 2)act in your best interests (as a citizen) without degrading your interests under the influence of special interests.

How is it that the right so consistently denigrates government as untrustworthy, yet trusts it so naively?

are you telling us that the jets on 911 were hijacked by tree huggers and vegitarians? saints preserve us if the crystal waivers ever come out of their trance...

one of the best ones i've heard is the two "women's rights activists", prohibited on the "no fly list". i mean come on...

baldi, another life lesson here. if they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you.

I believe he was referring to domestic terrorism, like the destruction of SUV's and the burning of businesses that sale them among other things.

Should probably worry about, investigate and stop both kinds. It's bad enough worrying about Islamic terrorists killing everyone that we don't need skippy, the ultra-liberal punk looking for the attention his dad didn't give him causing trouble.

Actually, if you want to look at which group of Americans are responsible for the most deaths of fellow americans re: terrorism, you should look to your own party, McG. Why?

Timothy McVeigh = ultra conservative.

Sorry. Everyone, get back to talking about the liberal terrorists, not the conservative ones!

At least for more than 2 posts. If you want to talk about militia groups and far right extremeists, that's fine, but not just to deflect the discussion from the liberal ones.

don't know 'bout ya'll, but where i grew up the kkk was pretty terrifying.

not as scary as the nea, though.

that really bothers me. anybody you don't like can be labeled a terrorist.

unlike the soup nazi, it's not very funny.

Poll: Bush Job Approval Dips to New Low

By WILL LESTER
Associated Press Writer





WASHINGTON (AP) -- As the war in Iraq drags on, President Bush's job approval and the public's confidence in the direction he's taking the nation are at their lowest levels since The Associated Press-Ipsos poll began in December 2003.

About one-third of adults, 35 percent, said they think the country is headed in the right direction, while 43 percent said they approve of the job being done by Bush. Just 41 percent say they support his handling of the war, also a low-water mark.

"There's a bad mood in the country, people are out of sorts," said presidential scholar and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Charles Jones, who lives near Charlottesville, Va. "Iraq news is daily bad news. The election in Iraq helped some, and the formation of the government helped some, but dead bodies trump the more positive news."

Some of us knew from the start that he was a dud. Others are finally realizing it. It will take years to undo the damage he has caused.

Count me in on the recently reformed list. I'm sick and tired of Bush and Co. and their "Spread Democracy around the world Schtick." It is time to return to policies of protecting our own self interests and staying out of the affairs of others. If we want to support a country whose people are trying to free themselves... that is fine, but this policy of forcing people to democratize is bleeding us of people and money with no end in sight.
