Just a thought, MRose – why is it that you are so quick to correct MY definition of a terrorist, but not R.J.’s? I think my definition is a HELL of a lot closer than his, which is anyone who questions the GOP, even through completely nonviolent means. According to dictionary.com, a terrorist is “a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism.” Let’s be honest – most of the time a group of people are motivated enough to blow people up or gun people down, it’s because their invisible man told them to do it. It’s not like in James Bond films where guys are plotting government upheavals or world domination because they’re greedy megalomaniacs – they usually just want to punish people for not subscribing to their god. Yes, there are political terrorists, but not nearly as many as the religiously motivated (and even those are often intertwined, as is often the case in the Middle East).

So what is YOUR definition? Do you agree with R.J.’s over-the-top, reactionary description, and if not, why didn’t you feel the need to correct anything HE said?

Just wanted to point a terrorist can be anyone they do not need to be religious. It’s only a more recent view that terrorists are religious extremists.

R.J, I’m unaware of ANY Tea Party protest where the protesters do not decry the rich for getting richer and the poor for getting poorer. So wouldn’t a tax increase to pay “their fair share” be exactly what they’d want? That tax bracket DOES include our politicians they hate so much, after all. Although, let’s be fair – some of the idiots who attend Tea Parties don’t think that they should have to pay taxes AT ALL, so that shows you how much they know about running a government. After all, even after the tax hike on wealthier Americans, they will still be paying 10% less than they did during most of the Reagan administration, and he was the GOP savior, right?

But since you mentioned that you attend Tea Parties, I can’t expect you to know much about REAL protesting. We didn’t see your kind around when Bush went wild with our money and sunk us into all this debt and 2 failing wars in the first place. Back then, protesting was un-American. Now that “random public outpouring” is run by Republican billionaires and GOP strategists, you’re all about it – thanks for doing the legwork of the very people you’re supposedly against. Look up some information on FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, to name a two, and see who you’ve been campaigning for.

“Right off the bat, let me just point out that when Bush’s tax cuts for the rich expire this year, the wealthiest people in the nation will be paying more, which, according to your “tea parties,” is exactly what you wanted, right?”

Unsure which Tea Party to which you’re referring. Certainly none of the ones which I’ve attended, where the attendees see this expiration as another tax hike.
