Ruth: Home-grown terror

http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/ruth-home-grown-terror/2183964

choice quotes:

"It is tempting to dismiss all these illiterate dolts running around in their brown shirts, spouting Mein Kampf and their love for the good days of the Fatherland as a twisted outtake from Mel Brooks' Springtime for Hitler production number.

But they are not. This more closely resembles "Triumph of the Swill."

We fear the return to hostilities of five Taliban bad guys thousands of miles away. But we tend to dismiss the more immediate — and very real — threat of heavily armed delusional antigovernment traitors in our own backyards."
