you are wise beyond your years.Hate to burst your bubble, but that gay was a leftist 9/11 truther.
truthers are not very different. angry at the government and armed nutjobs. sounds like a tea party terrorist to me.
my dear dante...
you don't understand....
it works like this;
when liberals do it....it's TERRORISM
when conservatives do it...it's FREEDOM FIGHTING!
when liberals do it...it's BAD
when conservatives do it...it's GOOD!
when 1 liberal does it...it's an indictment against ALL liberals
when 1 conservative does it...well...you can't blame all conservatives just for the acts of 1 conservative..
that would be illogical and unfair
they cannot ignore these two messages...
Fact: Party registration is no test of ideology. People cross register all the time.
OPEN REGISTRATION.
ONE FACT YOU CANNOT IGNORE IS THE TWIN NATURE OF THE ANGRY MESSAGE:
The latest Pentagon Shooter is reported to have been angry at the government and heavily armed.

gun-rights-tea-party-protester-hints-armed-violence-to-come-if-obama-doesnt-change
How many people showed up in Alamogordo, New Mexico yesterday to join an "open carry" gun display and protest against the Obama administration organized by the Otero Tea Party Patriots, the Alamogordo Second Amendment Task Force and the Sons of Liberty Riders? According to a news report on KOB-TV, there were about 200. The Alamogordo Daily News claimed 350, while a New Mexico Independent report says it was about 300.
Whatever the turnout, it's clear that many of those assembled are all about taking their country back from communists or socialists or fascists -- take your pick. They feel their Second Amendment gun rights are threatened -- although there's no evidence of any intent on the part of the Obama administration to do anything like that -- and they blame President Obama for a bad economy and the "socialist" plot represented by his proposed health care insurance reform and his actions to counteract the deep recession that began in earnest before he took office.
I can understand how right-wingers might be critical of President Obama and the Democrats in Congress. It's true that a Democratic agenda is being advanced, though many Democrats aren't pleased about the reluctance of Dems in Washington to push for deep change, instead of nibbling around the edges of the status quo. It's not surprising that Republicans, especially right-wing members of the GOP or those who support more libertarian policies, would be displeased with Democratic overtures. What IS surprising is how far out on the fringes some of the critics are about what's really going on in the federal government.
