Papantonio: Homegrown Terrorism Scarier than Al-Qaeda

Right wing media outlets like to tell us that Americans are threatened by illegal immigrants and al Qaeda, but according to research, American citizens are far more likely to be killed by a right wing extremist than a terrorist group.

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio talks about this with attorney Howard Nations.

Texas border after TX R-Governor Rick Perry was inciting, in my opinion, a Militia to come to Texas to stop children from crossing the US Mexico border. Cornyn is up for re-election this November 2014. And Opps is trying to raise money to run for President again.

still mostly am. but then my uncle said it is our legal right to kill anyone and children at the border. cut babies heads off etc.. 5 yrs later I'm more neutral in the area and more of I don't know. Now my uncle basically lost his job because the rich can break the law and hire illegals. He refused to break the law. and his biz went under. So he has some points. But learned the wrong ones. 1. if this were economic reasons building a border is stupid 2. enforce the damn law. don't hire illegals.

if it's for safety thats different.

as for some of the above on Ring of Fire. getting into dangerous areas by calling someone a terrorist and your rights are taken away. not sure if I agree with these two on this.

that we should strip them of their civil rights.

Our Constitution is not to be set aside like that, not for any reason other than an utter insurrection. Horrors!
