"The Alabama Department of Homeland Security has recently constructed a website that defines Domestic Terrorists as those who oppose a strong federal government. In short, if you oppose gun control, taxes, military intervention, foreign-held national debt, or just a large federal government, you might be a terrorist!"

Or maybe not. I wanted to see the page in question. So I went to the
digg.com link, dug around a little, got a alleged link to the Alabama
HS page, which does not exist.

Maybe they pulled it, whatever. But when we post something this
inflamatory, I think a direct link to the source of the statement is
called for.

just my 2 cents

Looks like the alabama.gov page was recently taken down. Here's the version from the internet archive:

"In general, these terrorists claim that the U.S. government is infringing on their individual rights, and/or that the government's policies are criminal and immoral. Such groups may hold that the current government is violating the basic principles laid out by the U.S. Constitution..."

They took it down, but the archived version is still here:

It was actually blogged about on the official Libertarian Party
website, and they provided the link to the archived page.

Are these websites for real? Are the warnings for real? "People who

Sign the Libertarian Pledge! Sign up for the Ron Paul meetups!
