If just being a gun-owner is lumped into being a domestic terrorist, that's a problem.
Simply attending a rally, in a peaceable manner, nothing out of line with a quiet protest stating your *free right* to disagree with the government -- say, like the recent waves of TEA rallies -- deems you a domestic terrorist, that's a problem.
Having a tattoo that identifies you with a group or hate/race group? What if you have a butterfly and someday they decide that lumps you in with PETA and they've been on a rampage over fly homicides again? What if you just have a bright yellow smiley face and one day some radical group chooses that as one of their marks?? That's putting us back to Nazi Land where they could wrangle you up just because.
You won't be able to share too many complaints about your government raised taxes, or your gas prices -- that could be construed as being a terrorist against the US government. Better whisper it quietly in your basement. Don't blog it or email it or chat openly in line at the Wall World on Saturday morning.
This sounds like something good on the surface, giving us a more peaceful nation, but its just another swipe at erasing your free speech and free assembly. Just another step to Nazi Amerika.

Bill Gives Attorney General Power To Designate Gun Owners, Tax Protesters As Terrorists
Amendments to H.R. 2647 empower Holder to demonize law-abiding American citizens as "extremists" under definitions already established by Homeland Security

Amendments to the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act, which has already been passed by the House, would empower the Attorney General Eric Holder to define gun owners, anti-abortion activists and tax protesters as domestic terrorists in light of recent federal reports that classify millions of Americans as "extremists".
Former impeached Florida judge and now Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings has introduced amendments to H.R. 2647: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, which would give Holder dictator powers to demonize legitimate protest groups as being affiliated with violent race hate organizations.
The bill is ostensibly aimed at preventing race "extremists" and gang members from joining the Army, but since the Army already hires felons, criminals, racists and gang members, the real purpose behind the legislation is to codify the move to label gun owners, "anti-government" activists and tax protesters as domestic terrorists, a process that has been ongoing since at least the start of the decade.
The bill's definition of "people associated or affiliated with hate groups" include,
"Groups or organizations that espouse an intention or expectation of armed revolutionary activity against the United States Government,"
or "Other groups or organizations that are determined by the Attorney General to be of a violent, extremist nature."
The evidence required to show that such an organization is affiliated with a violent hate group includes
*people possessing tattoos identifying them with the group,
*individuals who attend conferences or rallies sponsored by a "hate group,"
*people who engage in online discussion forums of an "extremist" nature,
*people who possess documents, books or photographs or simply "related materials as defined by the Attorney General" that represent "hate propaganda."
The amendments introduced by Hastings were passed by the House and the bill now moves on to the Senate for approval before it is signed by the President.

Isn't that Unbelievable!!! Sometimes I don't recognize the country I grew up in years ago.
Hey sweetie. I agree with you. Have been keeping my eyes open on these issues and we are on a mightly slippery slope. But what makes me so mad is that the-powers-that-be have plopped us right on that slope on purpose. They know exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it and for some reason think that if they say it's for our own good enough times, we will believe it. Mhmm, good luck with that I say.
I better get off of here before I say too much. I've already ranted over at my blog. My snarky side tends to come out late at night when I'm tired, lol. Hugs to you~~~
