I would put good money that if these guys were left wing you guys would have no problem with them.
Is there some kind of requirement that conservatives be assholes? I don't support terrorists, no matter what ideology they follow. Liberalism means believing in the rights, protected equally under law, of all persons. Terrorists, by definition, attempt to assert their own desires over the agreed-upon rights of others by using force and/or terror, rather than utilizing the political/social processes we have in place to do it peacefully.
As someone who was wrongfully imprisoned for nearly a decade, you'll find few people who are more skeptical of the power of government agents and the overreach of our police powers... but these men are threatening to kill law enforcement for carrying out the lawful duty of police, as they violate the law of the land in clear defiance of the lawful authority of the government, simply because they want to profit, which is a terrorist act. I'm a former environmental scientist/field biologist, yet I would not care if they were doing this same action on behalf of protecting the refuge. The moment they brought guns and threats into their actions, they ceased to be political activists and became terrorists.
Fuck them and fuck you for saying I would support them if they shared my ideology.
I don't think you'd label them terrorists if they were left wing. I mean they haven't committed any violence, they haven't terrorized anybody. It's a real stretch of the definition that just because they are armed (which is legal) that they are terrorists. That would require the labeling of any legally armed protesters as terrorists. Do people really think doing that is good liberal values?. Do you think the cops should go in and shoot them? I'm just confused as to what you guys think should be done exactly?
