President Obama and Hillary Clinton were attacked because they would not call the tragedies in Paris and San Bernardino acts of ‘Muslim terrorism.’

An armed militia has captured a federal building in Oregon; they are heavily armed. They ignore legal alternatives and have made demands, claiming that they will not leave until their demands are met. They are a group of men who are taking political action, and threatening violence ‘if necessary.’

My question is; will Cruz, Rubio, Bush, and the other hypocrites in the GOP call this what it is by definition; Domestic Terrorism?

I sincerely doubt that they will face the facts. We are a nation of lawful people. If our laws are ignored, and action is taken which includes the possibility of violence against our government, this is terrorism. But once again Republicans will deny the truth and the facts.

The situation exists between a group of ignorant ranchers who don’t like the decision of their state and the federal government regarding land they wish to use for their cattle and penalties levied against two convicted arsonists. They circumvented legal recourse, and made a rash decision to occupy federal land, which in this case is a building.

They made a statement to the press that they are prepared to stay for a ‘very long time’ until their demands are met.

When asked if they would use violence, they said that it depends on the actions of law enforcement.

They must be labeled ‘traitors’ and ‘terrorists.’
