Terrorists in Johnson County?

Pardon me if I'm skeptical. I thought the Liberals were the only thought police. Seems like some folks have been thinking about and trying to commit some "terrorist acts?". Like raising money for some terrorist organizations like the dudes in Charlotte a few years ago who gave money to Hamas.

Hello, just because we support a foreign position and give money to it would not seem to me in America to make it against the law to support an opposing foreign agency. Remember our support for Afghanistan rebels like bin Laden when they were fighting Russia? Remember our support for Saddam when he was fighting Iran? It seems we can't get it right. How do you believe we have it right even now? We support Israel over the arabs. Why? Why have we picked one aggrieved party over another aggrieved party? Are we that smart?

So the terrorists arrested recently once fought in Afghanistan for a group that we heartily supported at the time. Now, this fight is being used as evidence against them?

You know, we just seem to arbitrarily decide to call something terrorist. Dropping bombs on innocent people from an airplane is somehow not seen as behaving in a terroristic manner. Maybe that's because it's what WE do. So we OK our behavior and outlaw all other opposing forms of behavior.

Now, it is against the law to talk about jihad in another country. Has anyone been paying attention to what our leadership has been doing? Pardon me if I'm skeptical about this whole situation. This sounds a lot like the Lackawanna 6. I think they got a bad deal. The got punished for getting out of a community that misrepresented itself to them. They were smart enough to leave and get back to putting their lives together, but not smart enough to avoid having our government hold it against them for the crassest of political reasons.

Just pardon me if I'm skeptical. I think I have every right to be.
