TR'SIN, they are not. Move to North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela. Also, read the fucking US Constitution and Federalist Papers, and maybe Democracy in America for good measure.
A quote for you, but I don't think you will understand:
“YOU CANNOT BRING ABOUT PROSPERITY BY DISCOURAGING THRIFT. YOU CANNOT STRENGTHEN THE WEAK BY WEAKENING THE STRONG. YOU CANNOT HELP THE WAGE EARNER BY PULLING DOWN THE WAGE PAYER. YOU CANNOT ENCOURAGE THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN BY ENCOURAGING CLASS HATRED.
“YOU CANNOT HELP THE POOR BY DESTROYING THE RICH. YOU CANNOT KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE BY SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN. YOU CANNOT BUILD CHARACTER AND COURAGE BY TAKING AWAY A MAN’S INITIATIVE AND INDEPENDENCE. YOU CANNOT HELP MEN PERMANENTLY BY DOING FOR THEM WHAT THEY COULD AND SHOULD DO FOR THEMSELVES.”
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Hey TR'SIN,
I will not make any comments regarding my political views since I currently hold none. I guess that I am going though an anarchistic phase in my life.
You see, to me, the clown performing in today's circus is as unfunny as the last one.What I want to know is, *who* is paying the clowns.

Silly of me
I have to confess, my writing style leaves much to be desired and not everyone here is even familar with that.
So a brief note; I don't hate republicans,for this discussion I could have used Nancy Pelosi and the democrats. I understand that terrorism is not a religious philosophy and that politics have nothing to do with either one.
In my simple and obviously uneloquent rant, I failed to draw the line to my point that people who partcipate in these activities are as much responsible for the results created as those who purport to be the leaders, founders etc.
And, I have created in my own time, enough blind-eyed followers and have done enough blind-eyed following to feel a great deal of remorse for my actions.
Sorry
to those who got maligned by my attempt.
I'm still a little steamed that I got all those guys on staff.

Understood. I see it as a big grey area really.

I am a bona-fide card carrying leftist. But your original post is just crazy.
Terroists kill people directly. Their intent is to kill people.
Most polititians, Republicans and Democrats, may be blowhards. But that is a far stretch from slicing a young woman's throat with a box cutter and then crashing a plane into a building.
Politicians may be after person power, or power for the special interests they represent. That's what they are supposed to do. But they are not seeking power so they can kill people.
Scientologists may be intolerant of others (as you appear to be), but they are not slicing people's throats either.
There is a common degree of intolerence and contempt for opponents from Scientology and the right wing in America---and in your original post.
The bad thing that all have in common is demonizing another for their ideas and beliefs.

I am a card-carrying, right-winger. I am so far right I am way right of Reagan.
Nevertheless, we agree on the remainder of what you wrote.

Oopsy Zinj, a couple of ways to describe include; the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes ( as a noun ) and
the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization and
a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
Am I getting close. Or does my obtuse thinking allude all explinations?

With due respect ML, Scientology is not Marxist.
It is communal and it dictatorial - but all totalitarian regimes are defined that way.
Terrorism isn't a political stance but is a tool of people who's philosophy and policies do not work.

I simply do not believe you. I have never heard or saw or experienced anything that would lead me to bellieve that the purpose and activity of the Sea Org is to take care of Sea Org members.
