Interesting.
So, if I had to be in a room, with say 10 veterans, or 10 Isis members, I know which one would scare me more.
Unless they had both be previously around a 3 letter agency.
Then it may be more equal.

He's leaving out that the majority of those service members were radicalized islamists.
Napolitano Apologizes for Offending Veterans After DHS Eyes Them for 'Rightwing Extremism' |
"Their leftwing assessment identifies actual terrorist organizations, like the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front," House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said in a statement issued Wednesday. "The rightwing report uses broad generalizations about veterans, pro-life groups, federalists and supporters of gun rights. That's like saying if you love puppies, you might be susceptible to recruitment by the Animal Liberation Front. It is ridiculous and deeply offensive to millions of Americans."
Dems get everything backwards and wrong, projection or incompetence?

So now, thanks to high-profile liberals like Lawrence O'Donnell, our men and women in uniform have to be extra cautious and in "self protect" mode in certain parts of our country?
Good Lord.
In a 1966 essay published in The Nation, sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven introduced the Cloward-Piven strategy, a political approach aimed at creating chaos to prompt a political crisis that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and an end to poverty.
Fast forward to the present day, and some argue that the events of the past year, including the COVID-19 pandemic and allegations of a rigged election, echo the principles of Cloward-Piven, resulting in a significant shift in American leadership and direction.
The objective of Cloward-Piven is clear: induce chaos and turmoil with the ultimate goal of recruiting the poor onto the welfare rolls.
According to the sociologists, a federal program of income redistribution becomes necessary to lift the poor en masse from poverty once chaos is established.
This perspective sheds light on recent developments, particularly the response to the pandemic and the measures taken by the government
The Cloward-Piven Strategy: A Blueprint for Chaos and Transformation
At the end of the article there was a tease for a future breakdown of The Cloward-Piven Strategy. This is that article. The end goal of the Cloward-Piven strategy is the creation of a political crisis leading to a guaranteed annual income.
The Hegelian Dialectic
Only two kinds of people can afford the luxury of acting on principle, those with absolute power and those with none and no desire to get any…everyone else who wants to be effective in politics has to learn to be ‘unprincipled’ enough to compromise in order to see their principles succeed. (Rogers 1990: 12)
Liberals in their meetings utter bold words; they strut, grimace belligerently, and then issue a weasel-worded statement ‘which has tremendous implications, if read between the lines.’ They sit calmly, dispassionately, studying the issue; judging both sides; they sit and still sit. (Alinsky 1971: 4)
The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people. (Alinsky 1946: 23)
