Domestic terrorism

[MTK]

While everyone is all fired up and paranoid over refugees and ISIS, meanwhile our own brand of terror continues to be a problem and yet the media never wants to call it what it is (white Christian terrorism) and our politicians never do anything about it.

And you can't tell me attacks on a Planned Parenthood aren't in part fueled by irresonsible GOP rhetoric. They need to step up and take some responsibility.

And how the heck does a guy shoot up a PP including shooting 5 cops and end up being taken alive, while a black man with a knife walking away from police ends up getting shot 16 times in cold blood? It's a F'd up world we live in.

I have an interesting philosophy. Maybe we hold people accountable for their own action..what say?
As far as the white christian terrorists. It's probably the liberal media covering up for them, right?

Also I love how yet again the crazy right says we can't talk about gun control because it would be "using a tragedy." Except this nation has a gun tragedy every day.

Domestic terrorism been here since the the country was born...and the comparison vs foreign terrorism is Apple and oranges. Anti abortions nuts...nothing new. I would agree our government and this adminstration isn't doing enough to keep the country safe against either.

Planned Parenthood Shooting Suspect Made Comment About 'No More Baby Parts': Sources - NBC News

It drives me nuts how we are having this nationalism movement occurring when there is a genuine reason for concern for Syrian refugees. The vetting process in the U.S. is sound there is no reason to backburner it. When Cubans or those fleeing Nazi Germany fled and became refugees we welcomed them and in both of those incidents we were at war with an ideology we feared.

On the flip side please stop calling this white terrorism just call it domestic terrorism.

It would be nice if we did start calling our own terrorists, it's what they are. Not gunman, or thugs, straight up terrorists.

It may not make you feel as warm and fuzzy as you think......

Administration officials have acknowledged that checking the accuracy or authenticity of documents provided by refugee applicants against foreign government records can be especially difficult involving countries that don't cooperate with the U.S. government, such as Syria. It can also complicate U.S. efforts to check foreign government records for local arrests or lesser bureaucratic interactions, such as bank records, business licenses or civil filings. "We do the best we can with the information we have," one U.S. official said.—FBI Director James Comey told Congress weeks ago that the FBI sees a risk with Syrian refugees and "we will work hard to mitigate it." He said the biggest challenge is that a background check is as only as good as the information available. "That's the challenge we are all talking about, is that we can only query against that which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home but ... there will be nothing show up because we have no record on that person," Comey said.

Interesting Hog. I was listening to "On Point" two Wednesdays ago and they were talking to someone from NSA that was saying differently. I would not be surprised if this is the case of one hand not talking to the other i.e. not knowing what or where to send the information at hand.

Syrian refugees not welcome in 31 U.S. states - CNN.com

New York: 'Virtually no vetting'
A senior White House security official attempted to allay concerns about the vetting of Syrian refugees.

Refugees wait for a boat to a new life
5 photos: Refugees wait for a boat to a new life
On NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said, "We have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who have come to the United States. There is a very careful vetting process that includes our intelligence community, our National Counter Terrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security, so we can make sure that we are carefully screening anybody that comes to the United States."

New York Rep. Peter King, speaking on Fox News, cast doubt on Rhodes' comments.

[I]"What he said about the vetting of the refugees is untrue. There is virtually no vetting cause there are no databases in Syria, there are no government records. We don't know who these people are."[/I]

It would be interesting to know how many Syrian refugees have been denied access as a result of the.....vaunted vetting process.

Do these idiot GOP governor know they have ZERO say in US immigration policy or are they brain dead?

My professor from college, who i still keep in touch with, recently posted this article on his FB and it really makes you think:

The Christian Terrorist Movement No One Wants To Talk About | ThinkProgress

Lots of folks are quick to point out how violent the Muslim religion supposedly is, but doing some research it seems that radical Christians are at least on par with some of the incidents that have occurred. For all of the goodness contained within, the Bible is a decidedly horrifying and violent book, with many in-depth recountings of mass murder, rape, etc.. People will argue the "new testament vs Old testament", but it makes no difference.

I am not against people having religion or going to church, etc, but i guess the argument could be made that in the USA, we are slowly seeing hate groups / supremacists rise up and do what they are doing in the name of Christianity.

Matty is correct -the crazy Christians that do that stuff within the USA - need labeled terrorists, because thats what they are.

Dude don't quote Peter King like he is knowledgeable. He is the same racist who after the Boston bombings, said all Muslims should be put under surveillance.
