Ron Paul: Terrorist Magnet?

Apparently, all is takes is a little r3volution to get yourself on a watchlist in Missouri.

The State of Missouri Information Analysis Center recently issued a no-longer-secret report on domestic terrorism.

The Feb. 20 report called “The Modern Militia Movement” specifically identifies people who “display Campaign for Liberty, Constitution Party, or Libertarian material. These members are usually supporters of former Presidential candidate: Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr.”

The report identifies red flags that can identify potential domestic terrorists:

  • Bumper stickers for third-party candidates like Ron Paul
  • Talk of “New World Order” conspiracy theories
  • Opposition to the Federal Reserve and support of the gold standard
  • Opposition to US Army takeover of Homeland Security
  • Opposition to the North American Union
  • Opposition to universal military service
  • Tax resistance
  • Possession of subversive literature: “pictures, cartoons, bumper stickers that contain anti-government rhetoric. Most of this material will depict the FRS, IRS, FBI, ATF, CIA, UN, Law Enforcement, and ‘New World Order’ in a derogatory manner.”

One of the examples shown is the Gadsden Flag (”Don’t Tread on Me”).

Hmm, I wonder what the Ron Paul people are saying the so frightens the establishment? I got it! They talk about the Constitution! Well that makes much sense now. We are not to know that the bill passed the other day to tax AIG bonuses is clearly against the Constitution as well as the billions of dollars of, bailout,stimulus, appropriations passed the last few months. Furthermore, to complete this story, on March 27-29 in St Louis, Ron Paul, the Campaign for Liberty and other liberty loving, law abiding Americans will be gathering for a large convention. Go figure? This terrorist thinks most of the law breaking hypocrites in DC should be locked up with the key thrown away, the president included. Oh well, like the saying goes, first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you. Bring it on!

How corny. I guess the right wing, neocon radicals are out to create some more fear among the populace. Perhaps they will suggest secret police to watch the delusional ones among them. Corny, corny, corny. No wonder they are losing their way.

Not surprising this comes out of the "Show Me" state. It is simply an American's RIGHT to object to objectionable ideas such as TYRANNY. We did it to King George of England and won the right to run our own country. This idea that small government is wrong is simply another product of the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT folks as is GLOBAL WARMING. When those elected to serve the people begin to make the people serve them it is SLAVERY!

When a government starts stifling and discouraging getting involved in local government they are creating fear in the masses. That is called tryanny. Isn't that what we send our soldiers around the world to combat? The sovereign states of the union created the federal government and it is up to the states to stop the federal government from overstepping their bounds and inflicting unconstitutional mandates on the states.

Fortunately, America Was Founded By Libertarian Wing Nuts
05.12.2012

“Dear Mr. Lucente: You are a total wing nut.†Do I really need to read the rest of the letter? Actually, dear letter writer, I am a libertarian. Or, as I prefer, a classical liberal. I consider myself a person of at least average intelligence. Still, I will simply never understand those who find the [...]
