that would that make President Lincoln and/or Martin Luther King Jr, the most celebrated Terrorists that this country has ever embraced ... is that really your opinion here ??
You can see it however you like, but violence against people to effect political change is essentially the very definition of terrorism.

This may be one of the most ridiculous things I've read in a long while. Martin Luther King Jr. was specifically against violence to enact change. As for Lincoln, if you consider the act of war against another country to be terrorism, I guess you could say we were all terrorists, but I think that nations going to war is a bit different than terrorism. Still, I have no idea how you came to the idea violence to enact change= MLK Jr.

The report takes its definitions from a 2011 study entitled Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, in which the following characteristics are used to identify terrorists.
- Americans who believe their “way of life” is under attack;
- Americans who are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)”;
- People who consider themselves “anti-global” (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty);
- Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”;
- Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty”;
- People who “believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

his speeches were but his actions tell a very different tale.
which "other country" did Lincoln declare war upon ??
was there a "south" American country that isn't reported in the history books?
do tell, which "nations" are you referencing?
perhaps if you study some real history, instead of the govt sponsored stories of same history, maybe then you'll understand why patriotic Americans (like MLK) understood and preached that words MINUS action are still just words.
ETA: i'm guessing you know nothing of MLKs calls to "action" ??
i would suppose you perceive a "strike" is nothing involving "civil disobedience", right?
also, since Lincoln was POTUS, he had a "right" to militarily invade the southern states, correct ??
