    This so-called "breakdown" exists only in their minds.

    Like in the minds of British settlers in the American colonies in the 1700s... :D (sorry, could not resist :oops: )

    However, whatever your outlook, the fact remains that a good patriot does as little as possible to hurt his/her country, even if they have to overthrow the government. This typically does not include bombing a crece.

    i think jeaguer makes a valid point...timothy m ..in his own eyes is a sefless patriot...he was responding to ruby ridge and waco...atf and govt out of control ect....t.m. didnt blow up a bank to line his pockets ..he chose a govt building to make a point...a bad choice,for sure ...if he had waited till after 6 pm he might be a folk hero today{but still in prison}...was john brown a abolitionist saint..or just a nutball?how bout a guy who blows up an abortion clinic and there by delays the execution of 357 infants....the lexington minutemen who fire on and kill his majestys troops....terrorists or heros...depends on who u ask...

    Like I said in this thread before, that is simply not true. There is a distinct difference in method which distinguishes patriots from nutballs.
