What are you waiting for?

The House of Representatives recently passed HR1955, or the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. Sounds like a good and safe idea here, yes? Well look at this, specifically number four. SEC. 899A. DEFINITIONS. `For purposes of this subtitle: `(1) COMMISSION- The term `Commission' means the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism established under section 899C. `(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change. `(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. `(4) IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE- The term `ideologically based violence' means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual's political, religious, or social beliefs. In case you didnt catch it, "Ideologically based" translates to THOUGHT BASED! This bill actually allows for federal law enforcement agencies to arrest people for even thinking about possibly doing something. Or more specifically, you can be arrested for belonging to any group the United States Justice Department has declared subversive. Please remember, in the sixties, the equal rights movement was called subversive, as well as the NAACP and the ACLU, just a few years ago. Considering the United States has established new secret courts to handle some inquiries, it is no surprise this bill should follow. Just think, tomorrow, they may be telling you what to think.... And to tell me, they will have to find me.
