I remember during the 60s seeing a peaceful protest march by Martin Luther King (this really tells my age..don't it?) King was a genuine civil rights leader who knew how to convey his message peaceably and pointed to our own countrys founding documents as proof of his point. Now imagine with me if you will a government official arresting him and his followers because they were engaging in.. get this: low-level terrorism. Yes, you have read correctly. According to a exam as part of required training for Dept of Defense employees ...protesting is an example of "low-level terrorism"...WHAT?? EXCUSE ME?? Somebody please correct me if I am wrong here but isn't the right to "peaceably gather" one of our rights under the Constitution of the United States of America???(FOXNEWS has this story as well as fellow blogger Crawfish) In the test a multiple choice question is asked : which is an example of low-level terrorism? The choices are: attacking the pentagon,IEDs,hate crimes agenst racial groups and protests--the correct answer according to the exam is...protests. It really causes you to wonder what is happening when ordinary Patriotic Americans who love this country and want the best for it are looked at this way. I do believe a certain "news"reporter even said at a TEA party that those who were there were "anti-government" NO--anti big TAXES!!! GET IT RIGHT!! We have very real "bad guys" out there who hate our freedom under the Constitution and seek our harm. All you need to do is look at the tru anti-American "chatter' that is not far on the web. I know there are foes to our freedom--BUT Americans who love America and want good for our country are not among them! See you at a TEA party and the forth of July is right around the corner..God bless and GOD bless AMERICA..STILL the home of the FREE..because of the BRAVE.
