Democrats & moderates motivated by fear

[Patriot]

It seems our liberal & moderate friends are prone to kneejerk reactions motivated by a side effect of their mental disorder... fear.  Fear of free speech. Have you noticed how conservatives who speak up on matters of overreaching government (tea party folks, etc) are constantly chastened & labeled as radical by libs and so-called moderates?  Even right here.  Lord knows that Ross, red and myself have been labeled as radicals and vile primarily for defending basic principles of liberty & sound government economics founded on simple constitutional grounds.  Oh well.... being on the right (or simply being right) is a trigger for the aberrant mind of libs and socialist leaning mods... c'est la vie. 

It seems that even our US Attorney General is subject to this disordered thinking.  He tries to prosecute outspoken folks as terrorists on sedition & conspiracy  charges.... and loses.

Mich. militia members cleared of charges that accused them of plotting war against government
By Associated Press, Published: March 27

DETROIT — A federal judge on Tuesday gutted the government's case against seven members of a Michigan militia, dismissing the most serious charges in an extraordinary defeat for federal authorities who insisted they had captured homegrown rural extremists poised for war.

U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts said the members' expressed hatred of law enforcement didn't amount to a conspiracy to rebel against the government. The FBI had secretly planted an informant and an FBI agent inside the Hutaree militia starting in 2008 to collect hours of anti-government audio and video that became the cornerstone of the case....

..."The judge had a lot of guts," defense attorney William Swor said. "It would have been very easy to say, 'The heck with it,' and hand it off to the jury. But the fact is she looked at the evidence, and she looked at it very carefully."
