    Um, sure. All of those characteristics are identified as potential domestic terrorists. Here's the last list of identifiers I was made aware of:

    Gun Owner

    Pro Life

    Christian

    Green Party

    Tea Party

    Animal Rights Activist

    Environmentalist

    Global Warming Activist

    Tea Party Member

    Muslim

    Racist

    Mason or other civic organization member

    Illegal alien

    Ex-con

    Drug user

    Ex-Military

    Ex-Law Enforcement

    Basically, the DHS has narrowed down the list of potential domestic terrorists to about 80 to 90 percent of the population. They tried to narrow down the list by including a few more factors, but it ended up actually increasing another 4 percent. Right now they're trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that about 30 percent of the people tracking the potential domestic terrorist list are, themselves, on the list.

    May I introduce you to an old role playing game called Paranoia? I think it's right up your alley.

    While I can understand going after Tea Party Members (any group that gives Sarah Palin and that wack-a-doodle Michele Bachmann a platform should be watch), but in general the answer is No. They don't have the budget and they can barely organize themselves out of a paper bag, let alone standing up a "fusion center."

    Now you are basically being a TROLL. You do realize that many in the DHS, Military, and various Law Enforcement ARE ex-military, patriots, Christians, pro-life, and yes (*sigh*) supporters of the Tea baggers. You are just making stuff up to get a rise out of people. Or are you overcompensating for once being an Obama supporter?

    LOL @They're Here is trolling you!

    Yup. I have been asked several times by police how many rifles and shotguns I own that are not registered with the state. They are taking a report, and even typing into the computer system as they ask and expect an answer.

    "It's not a registry. We just want to know what you have in the privacy of your own home, and you should tell us."

    Not.

    I'm not sure what definition of "troll" have people have, but neither you or I are it.

    You bet they do! If you have enough food to last a week, you fall into that designation.

    I've made enough comments on various sites that I'm sure I'm on a list somewhere. What the heck? I'll just "keep on keepin' on", and deal with what may, or may not, come.
