Tiller's killer was arrested and convicted of trying to blow up an Abortion clinic in 1996.

CNN:

"In 1996, he was arrested in Topeka, Kansas, with explosives, a military rifle, ammunition and a gas mask in his car, according to records.

His ex-wife said that at that time he intended to blow up an abortion clinic.

A Shawnee County judge called Roeder a 'substantial threat to public safety' telling him that one must follow the law as established, not the law as one might wish it to be.

Roeder pleaded not guilty, spent 16 months in prison and eight on probation. But his lawyer argued on appeal that his car had been illegally searched, and Roeder's conviction was vacated."

Otherwise, one presumes, he wouldn't have been able to get hold of a weapon . . . even in Kansas!

Damn liberal, activist judges!

with Obama in their sights for the Sotomayer appointment? Too bad, the FBI is so busy hunting down pizza delivery guys and 27-time losers who couldn't walk down the street without getting arrested --- never mind hatch a terrorist plot -- without the help of FBI-paid fraudsters, er, "confidential informants."

in the first place? They were fucking nuts! No one could deal with them.

Those who came to America early in search of religious freedom were more likely than not victims of religious persecution.

I direct your attention to this:

Radical Puritanism ‘Rediscovered’: Elements and Legacies of Extremism and Anti-Egalitarianism
by Milan Zafirovski

"The paper argues and demonstrates Puritanism as an English-American offspring of Calvinism represents political extremism or radicalism, interlinked and mutually reinforced with its moral-religious absolutism. It ‘rediscovers’ Puritanism as an extreme or radical, anti-egalitarian and authoritarian rather than, as widely assumed, moderate, egalitarian and democratic type of politics and ideology, just as relatedly an absolutist morality and religion . . . The paper explores and places Puritan political and other extremism and anti-egalitarianism within a comparative-historical framework of Western societies and the 16th-21st century. It aims to contribute to the existing sociological and other literature by contributing to a better understanding of Puritanism’s role and legacy in Western societies, primarily America."

Ask the Native Americans already living here how they enjoyed the Puritan's form of religious freedom.

I am surprised he wasn't sent to prison for decades, especially so soon after the Murrah Building was blown up by Timothy McVeigh.

But, man-oh-Manischewitz! Those Uyghurs! Not in my neighborhood!

Eric Rudolph was an extreme anti-government rightist. I remember he hid from the FBI in the southern part of the Appalachian foothills for several years before finally being caught. The guy was a hardcore survivalist, knew how to live off the land and spent most of his hiding in the woods, sort of like the Unabomber.

by refusing to file taxes...THEN was put in prison.

Ahh...those carefree days of the 90's when all that mattered was Bill Clinton's penis. Domestic terrorism didn't exist...they were lone wolves...be it Eric Rudolph or Benjamin Smith or Tim McVeigh. The corporate media "debated" if the seige of Waco was some government/Clinton/Reno conspiracy. The only "terrorists" were Puerto Ricans or old hippies of the 60's...or brown-skinned A-rabs. Anything homebrewed and from the right wing just wasn't happening, didn't happen and they still play that game.
