    Well if you consider that the Brits under King George considered the framers of the U.S. Constitution and those that fought against them in the Revolution were considered terrorists.

    Actually, I'm not sure if the concept of terrorists even existed back then but there's really no way the British would have called the American Revolutionaries terrorists in any case. The British Army had little respect for the American "rabble" but they still saw them as soldiers fighting in a civil war, something which the British were quite familiar with throughout their history. They weren't trying to foment terror to promote their cause, they weren't striking soft targets. (if anyone did that it was the British)

    Be that at it may, are your REALLY so parochial in your attitude toward your own side that you will seriously make out that EVERYONE who isn't a rightist is a total villain while no one or your side has ever even contemplated a wrong thing? Can you give me NO examples of American rightists who you think were terrorists while its seems that ALL of them you can recall were leftists? (And just about NO authority I know of will agree with you on the history of the Ku Klux Klan, which still exists and has thousands of members btw)

    C'mon, I can readily name several REAL left based terrorists. The IWW (International Workers of the World or Wobblies), the Weathermen, and the SDS among others.

    Are you TRULY going to try and tell me that the American Nazis were LEFTISTS, that the ****** KLAN all followed Marx? while meanwhile roses all grew merrily from ever rightist's butt?

    Go do some research on the civil rights act and see which political party supported it and who opposed it.

    Then why is it that for more than 150 years being a good Progressive Democrat always involves wearing a hood and mask at some point?

    Your link is broken, but I will concede that George III may have seen the Revolutionaries in much the same light as we see ISIS. I don't see it as important to what we were discussing in any case.

    No offense, but if you're arguing that the Klan became the BLM I have to really wonder at your sanity. If you're arguing that the NazIs were an acronym for the National SOCIALIST Party I must bring the charge of semantic quibbling against you, though it can be argued that the Nazis were NEITHER right nor left, but rather nihilistic racists and authoritarians

    :roflol:

    That is ARCHAIC history.

    Your ludicrous talking point is the equivalent of saying:

    "Blacks in the South are all Republicans b/c Lincoln was a Republican".

    Update your references to match the REALITY of the 21st Century.

    Nothing personal, of course.

    Just a friendly suggestion. :salute:

    The sites seem to work for me....
    So you deny the #BLM has adopted the same tactics of racism, bigotry, looting, arson, violent attacks on white individuals and have excluded whites from their events. In more recent events, Black Lives Matter leaders did not mince words when they outright stated that “the mask is the new sheet” .
    Why is it difficult for you to deny the movement has in fact incited and committed further violence, severe bodily injury and death against police officers of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and whites? No different than the Democratic Party KKK from 1865 to the 1960's .

    On the contrary, why do the Progressive Marxists #Antifa terrorists wear Hoodies and masks today?

    Oh that strawman, they were from the South so they weren't REALLY Democrats. And of course let's just look at 1964 not the previous 100 years when the Democrats fought passing civil rights and womens rights and voting rights. Even after a group of segregationist broke off and formed the Dixiecrats after they lost the election the Democrats welcomed them right back into the party and put them in leadership positions.

    So yes it was the Democrat party that opposed civil rights until that position was no longer politically feasible and they joined in with the Republicans to finally pass the legislations.
