Are right wing vigilantes terrorists?

Do we have to call them something else because conservatives benefit from their terror?

I just had to heart your question. It is provocative and worthy of a long and action packed thread! I can't be objective for very long, if I can be objective at all. I believe this dynamic of division; this precedent of polarity; this unique universe of unrest; has been posited intentionally to cause a failure and a very real 'defeat and surrender' to powers we have not yet completely identified. It seems like this country could use a trial separation! We used to get along so much better. Somewhere along the line, our individualism and collectivism lost its balance, and we, like trees in a forest, began to strangle each other with our roots as we competed for sunlight.
I am a lot of the things I hate. I am opinionated, and arrogant, and self righteous, and I fool myself that I might be some kind of ninja of clever persuasion. Occasionally I wish I could lay down my perceived weapons of a keyboard warrior, and seriously consider a way to express my intense disagreement with people, places, and things creatively rather than combatively, instead of constantly trying to be creatively combative.
It would be nice if we could all find a way to foil this dastardly plan to divide and conquer, but that would require some kind of common ground. I've preached this sermon before, but within minutes I am right back to defending my perception of truth, justice, and the American way ; often in a very abrasive tone.
Have you ever felt like there is some people out there who want us to be at each others throats all the time so we become weak and easily conquered?

I don’t usually like arrogant people, (as you call yourself) but I love your eloquence of expression. @Oberon1

@Carissimi Thank you. Arrogance doesn't define me, it's just one of my character defects. I just wish I could find the right olive branch sometimes.

We all have character defects. I admire your mind, and the way you think. @Oberon1
