anybody claiming that terrorist acts werent committed on some ocassions by yankees in the revolutionary war better not complain one bit about a car bomb going off killing civilians or people getting beheaded in afghanistan or iraq.

We will then also label all gang members today as terrorists, and the Black Panthers, they were also terrorists. You would have no problem labeling the KKK as such, then you must label all groups the same

youre right. I have no problem with giving those groups those labels.  You may be an adult but you sure as shit like to respond with some knee jerk arguments like a child.

knee jerk? claiming the founding fathers, and the Continental army terrorists are terrorists, and you call my argument knee jerk? Kinda warped in your opinion I think.

I believe my real world and academic experience trumps you on this subject lowing.  I believe Ill trust my definition of what constitutes a terrorist act and actor over yours.

as convenient as that is for you, I have no doubt you will.

so youre saying i should take your definition, coming from someone who has ZERO combat experience and ZERO time studying the subject academically over mine.  Me being someone who has spent a substantial part of active duty military life in combat, further training by USACAPOC (psychological operations) and even further study and lecture hours at a university.  yeah, it is pretty convenient.

"on some ocassions" you dump truck
your knee jerk reaction has to do with assuming I wouldnt label those organizations as terrorist because you assume I fall into some kind of idealogical camp that automatically dismisses hippies and black panthers as activists or what not. 
you are a moron . end stop

I qualified them as terrorists in the context of this OP, and your stated criteria not "activists".

losaing my brothers by IED's, mortars and 7.62mm rounds has nothing to do with a dictionary you friggin ignorant.  wow.

you are right it doesn't, so stop trying to change the meanings within it. Kinda hard to be on the same page when you write the page exclusively for yourself.

Ironic to the OP, but so would John Brown

I wonder if Mr. Roland Martain is prepared to admit this.

And so would every Union army that 'foraged' for food on southern land. Foraging is theft.

Well, it would appear Mr Martin. indeed has a selective opinion, as he only condemns those that do such things in the name of the Confederacy.
He speaks as if the "Civil" War was about slavery and not states rights.

After reading what he wrote for CNN, I am boycotting CNN. Sherman destroyed a lot of shit compared to any Confederate General.

Well his agenda is not the loathing terrorism. His agenda is to make sure slavery is alive and well and not left in the past where it belongs. Hard to keep the hate and the "special rights" alive, if you let everyone get over it.

Based on the hundreds of e-mails, Facebook comments and Tweets I've read in response to my denunciation of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's decision to honor Confederates for their involvement in the Civil War -- which was based on the desire to continue slavery --

Stopped reading right there.  Shouldn't even be worthy of a comment.
