From the op-ed:

What can be done to reverse this tide of belligerent ignorance? Not much. The typical patriot acts within his free-speech and 2nd Amendment rights, and in fact most patriot activity consists of venting steam by meeting with like-minded Neanderthals and firing off blog posts threatening civil war.

Those darn patriots typically act within their rights? How dare they? No wonder the author is so worried about them. Well, at least the author doesn't exhibit bias and prejudice in this article at all, and doesn't jump to conclusions about the inherent dangers of allowing "Neanderthals" to "vent steam".

1. The government is buying up ammo.
2. The DHS buys 2,700 armored cars.
3. The FAA approves drones in the skies over America.
4. The government begins to identify Americans as terrorists.

Way to misrepresent what the OP ED said. It did not say that conservative white men are worse than terrorists, it said that the vehemently anti government groups that have popped up in ever increasing numbers "may represent a greater danger to the lives of American civilians than international terrorists."

Considering that more Americans have died at the hands of "home grown" terrorists than from outside our borders, do you not find it conceivable that the OP ED has a point?

No.

Becuase the op-ed is making the assumption that those that are vehemently against government are violent in nature and willing to take the lives of innocent Americans to make their point.

It would be akin to saying that those that are vehemntly against the wars overseas are more of a threat to Americans than radical terrorists.

Those that are vehemently against the direction of the government are, on the most part, Americans speaking their mind....not threatening other American lives.

Terrorists openly threaten American lives.

Now...you can somehow spin what I said, or ignore the crux of my point....but it will not change the truth of what I am saying.

And still its city folks who are mass murdering the citizens of this country, not some patriot group.

It was an OP ED piece.

You do know what that means, right?

Apparently NOT, given the way you structured your post's title.

So you either do not know what an OP ED is, or you're a troll.

Did you read the original piece or the Examiner interpretation of the original piece? The opinion piece made clear that most people that belong to these anti government groups are not willing to take American lives and are just (like a shitload of people here) bloviating.

It would be akin to saying that those that are vehemntly against the wars overseas are more of a threat to Americans than radical terrorists.

If the anti war groups were heavily armed and spoke frequently of revolution and civil war, would you want them monitored a little more closely or not? What if they were those hyper nutbag environmentalists that were stockpiling, oh say, tree spikes...would you want that looked into?

Those that are vehemently against the direction of the government are, on the most part, Americans speaking their mind....not threatening other American lives.

Which was pointed out in the Op Ed.

Terrorists openly threaten American lives.

And we have had plenty of them born, raised, and trained in America (some in the US military)

Thats what you respond with?

Nothing about it being irresponsible for anyone to print an op-ed piece where it implies that an American expressing his or her sentiments regarding government is likely violent and a threat to other Americans?

Fiscal Conservatives support policies which benefit themselves alone. It's the age old ideology of the royal courts, "I got mine, screw the rest of them".

Social Conservatives believe their time on the earth is hell and pray for the rapture. Most are mentally slow and don't understand they've been used and abused by the Clergy and the GOP.

Tea Party Conservatives are slow too, most want to be like fiscal conservatives but will never "get theirs", like the Social Conservatives they don't understand they too are being used by "wall street suits" and retired members of Congress.

The Radical Conservatives still believe the Civil War was just and seem to have an active fantasy life wherein they heroically save Nell from the evil liberal. Of course Nell has no interest in a roustabout who spends most of his monthly income on a one ton pick up with a gun rack, smokes marlboros and drinks whiskey in his morning coffee.

Yet it's the left that continually pines over an American French Revolution.

what it comes down to is....a small minority of those againsty government may be dangerous....just as a samll number of those against war may be dangerous, just as a small number of those against 20 ounce soda sales may be dangerous.

The is a small percentage of Americans that may be dangerous to other Americans.

To write an article about one group having a small percentage of those people is creating something that isnt and quite irresponsible.

It is like those op eds and actual reporter articles that diuscussed how there is a vein of racism in the tea party movement.

Sure there is....just as there is a vein of racism in every group of people of all walks of life...of all ideologies and of all political leanings....to make a point about it in regard to the tea party is unfairly implying that the tea party is a racist group.

Really? How many people have these "neanderthals" (conservative white males) killed?

 

[PredFan]

"LA Times says White conservative men worst then terrorist"

Then terrorists what?

Honesty, period, has never been one of your goals.

I guess you too are having trouble understanding the nature of an OP ED piece.

LA Times says White conservative men worst then terrorist

The embolded part of above is my objection.

The LA TIMES did not SAY anything.

IF the LA times had said something it would NOT BE an OP ED.

Then it would be an LA TIMES editorial and then one can fault the LA times for having that view.

The whole point of OP EDs is to allow points of view that are NOT that of the publisher to get into print so that people are better informed about different POVs.

The OpEd was talking about a SPLC report showing a rapidly increasing number of the groups...hence the point of their opinion piece.
