Send Them to Guantanamo: Double Standard on White Christian Domestic Terrorists is a Direct Threat to the U.S.

It's a relief of sorts that the Michigan militia members, White Christian Domestic Terrorists, were apprehended before they launched a killing spree of police officers and other Americans. But why should they receive a civil trial, according to right wing arguments; why shouldn't they be flown directly down to Guantanamo?

Of course BuzzFlash does support criminal trials for all charged terrorists and those plotting terrorism, but why the double standard on the part of the right wing when it comes to White Christian Domestic Terrorists?

In the Michigan Militia, which was quite active in the '90s when the NRA was all but encouraging domestic insurrection, you find the convergence of GOP incendiary talk, hate radio, the End Times movement, white nationalism, whites feeling themselves "victims" of a secular society, and the sedition encouraged by the likes of the Tea Party, the Alaska Independence Party, Governor Perry of Texas, and basically the whole right wing "white is right" power movement.

BuzzFlash, whose editor dealt with trying to dampen the influence of the gun lobby for years, knows that at the root of the Timothy McVeighs of the world is a sense of loss of white male power in an increasingly secular nation. That's not to mention that the destructive white male power feeling of "victimization" (which translated means: "why don't we call all the shots anymore, and why don't the undeserving minorities know their place?") virtually disappeared during the Bush administration, when you had a white male with a cauliflower for a brain as titular head of the nation; but that's okay, white males -- even if as dumb as cabbages -- are entitled to rule.

That's what the White Christian Domestic Terrorism of the Michigan militia is all about.

But BuzzFlash can assure you this from its 10 years of reporting on the white male power movement, which is essentially the Republican party, armed or unarmed: this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone planning domestic terrorism or shooting a few people dead after reading books by FOX news inciters or Rush Limbaugh or the like should be sent directly to Guantanamo.

They are as dangerous in terms of terrorism as Al-Qaeda, so why should they get an exception just because they are white and Christian?

They shouldn't.

All our lives are at stake as each day elected GOP leaders and their right wing media echo chamber of hate throw matches on the fire of insurrection and domestic terrorism.

Mark, your insights are very accurate. These people have been posing a danger for years. What is making it worse is the incendiary hate spewed by the right wing talk and political machines that eggs them on. And doesn't just endanger others. It also threatens the feeble minded militia men and women who actually think that running around the woods of southern Michigan every weekend prepares them to take on highly trained law enforcement and military. I call it the 'Reverse Rambo' effect (READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE).

Start a rumor at least that

Submitted by Atmost11 on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 1:06pm.

Start a rumor at least that the Christian Terrorists MIGHT be detained without a trial!!! It's exactly these types of opporunities that we should not throw away, because the other side would do the same at least. It could scare some of these Authoritarians from promoting Lieberman and McCains new bill for increased extra-judicial detention.

Robert Crawford sez:
There are always going to be those hard-core nut cases whose quest for personal importance leads them to lunatic fantasy scenarios like taking on the anti-Christ--itself a hoary old contrivance of the Church--but it seems to me the average militia type is no different from adherants of political extremism since time immemorial. They actually have legitimate concerns--they ARE being disenfranchised, and the way of life to which they'd like to become accustomed IS steadily withdrawing from their reach.
Where they go wrong, of course, is in letting themselves be convinced that the threat to them lies in other disenfranchised and struggling people--a diversionary tactic that goes back to the first leader who ever uttered any version of the old "divide and conquer" theme. In today's terms, this means that on the way home from being laid off at work because your job has been outsourced, wondering how you're going to keep up the predatory terms of your mortgage on the double-wide, you listen to Rush Limbaugh on the radio--and the Big Guy himself, making forty million dollars a year from conservative sponsors and think tanks and foundations, throws a meaty fraternal arm over your shoulder and starts barking about who's causing your problems. It's those liberals, buddy--they're the reason you're in trouble. They're taking away everything you have to hand it out to their base--those blacks and Mexicans and Femi-Nazis and enviro-nuts. They won't stop until the black helicopters and death panels have finished their work and you're buried in an unmarked pauper's grave.
If Rush just barks loudly enough, and keeps the mark's attention on that encouraging brotherly arm around his shoulders, the poor clown won't notice Rush's chums slipping his wallet out of his jeans from behind and digging out his cash and credit cards.
How else, after all, did the Confederacy manage to field armies of white men who didn't own slaves, who were perpetually held in poverty by the very existence of slavery in their midst, and who had never spent a minute of their lives actually contemplating such arcane political concerns as the issue of states' rights versus centralized federal power?
You have to give the conservatives some credit for the patience, vision and scope of this conspiracy. Knowing that educated people are harder to manipulate than poorly educated ones, they set out thirty years ago to gut the public school system; knowing that informed people are less likely to buy into scapegoating campaigns, they initiated one of the great propaganda campaigns of all time--the "liberal media" scam, which has neutered a once-vibrant fourth estate to the point that vast swaths of the public no longer know what to believe when they listen to the news.
It's a clever plan--it's working--and nothing could be more laughable than hoping conservative "leaders" will somehow cooperate in muzzling the monster they've worked so hard to create.

Defensive, partisan definitions are part of the problem, too.

It's a gross oversimplification to claim domestic terrorists are "essentially the Republican Party." It's highly misleading, similar to typecasting terrorists as brown skinned Muslims.

Two wars and multiple military presences throughout the Middle East East and Africa need a restricted, stereotypical definition of terrorism. It needs to be something perceived as exotic and pertaining to the "other" since our sham military course, barely different from the Bush years, needs a lot of propping up and curtains.

Ultimately, the failure to call terrorism at home for what it is will only keep away badly needed needed resources from the problem. Whether terrorism is domestic or foreign, it's criminal behavior and treating it as such has proven to be the best deterrent. But then the effective solution for countering it defies the nation-state approach.

Why a Double Standard ? That's Easy.

Because despite the constitution and all the double talk, REAL AMERICANS (see Palin, Sarah), know how America should be; what America is supposed to be.

America isn't about the constitution and the first ten amendments, America is supposed to be, destined to be, created to be, meant to be, established to be......A WHITE NATIONALIST, CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST, AND CHRISTIAN SUPREMACIST, MALE BASTION NATION, DEDICATED TO FEUDALISM MAINTAINED BY PRIMOGENITURE (i.e., "FREEDOM", as in sean hannity "freedom" concerts) ....OR ELSE ! (also see Palin, Sarah).

And that's the way it REALLY is......You better believe it.

And that's the way it's gonna stay, so get used to it, you lousy hippie, commie, libs, ya !

The Status Quo

What Jaydiamond fails to realize is at the time of the Civil War a Majority of god fearing, moral americans refused to allow slavery with its inhuman treatment of others to persist. The civil rights era struggles and the martyrs that included JFK/RFK was inspired by that war and our Constitution that states "All men are created equal...etc." Jesus being my savior and ultimate example (WWJD) as well as almost Every religious leader teaches us God's law is superior to mans and mans laws are for the lawless!. Simply if you are not willing to die for the Gods truth then you Are willing to advance the Devils agenda with your life. All forms of Supremacy fall short of Gods love he has shared with us thru his son and recorded Biblical history tells the fate of nations that have strayed from Gods laws and teaching from Sodom and Gommorah to Rome. Jaydiamond ask yourself where America falls in History's ever rotating circle and also with change occurring constantly are you willing to change or will you like the emperors and minnions of Rome see your empire crumble underneath the feet of Gods justice for All that are martyrs for his cause of truth, love and salvation like Jesus did! To detain/torture arabs or Anyone without charges and without allowing legal council is inhuman, immoral and illegal. The Evil Status Quo is crumbling at its superficial foundation and the entitled Must learn this whether thru a spiritual awakening or by example of their own being incarcerated in the same manor as we have allowed others to be that are unlike ourselves. God Bless All of Gods children, even the lost. They can still find the truth and the way of salvation to avoid the Hellfire that awaits the Devils minnions.
