Extreme Right-Wing: groups that believe that one’s personal and/or national “way of life” is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent (for some the threat is from a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group), and believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.
Single Issue: groups or individuals that obsessively focus on very specific or narrowly-defined causes (e.g., anti-abortion, anti-Catholic, anti-nuclear, anti-Castro). This category includes groups from all sides of the political spectrum.Suspicious of centralized federal authority? 'Reverent of individual liberty'? being anti-communist? Those are the things that label me as a 'terrorist hot spot'?
Count me in then.

Now that sounds like 1984.
Since the "contraception," in reality Abortion, mandate of Obamacare is being shoved down the throats of Catholic institutions, wouldn't that make the Federal Government itself Anti-Catholic and therefore making itself a potential terrorist organization?
"Potential?" Who kills the babies in their beds? Who rains destruction down on more innocent than guilty heads? The feds!
But it's all okay, 'cos the other guys are worse terr- er (what are we calling them this administration?), extremists than the fed.gov and it's really just degrees of wrongness instead of right vs. wrong.

Oooh, ooh! This part, too!
Does any of these things being true matter?
Do I believe that my way of life is under attack? Me? Nahhh, the jihadis just want to cut my American head off because it's their national pastime or some other innocuous reason like that. It's just a habit that they somehow happen to have acquired. There's nothing sinister in their motivations at all.
Same thing with the Marxists who want to turn our powerful, capitalist America into a laughable, pathetic, miserable, third world joke. Their intentions are good; their hearts are pure; they only mean well.
"Single Issue: groups or individuals that obsessively focus on very specific or narrowly-defined causes . . ."
Sounds like any group that HAS a focus. I guess that the International Association of Obtuse Individuals Who Don't Care About Anything (IAOIWDCAA) would be exempt from being labeled terrorists.
It's focus that pulls a group together. It's called the National Rifle Association, not the National Whatever Association. Focus is power, and the government is jealous of power.
