There can. But the degree to which a 'terrorist' is an individual is equal to the degree which they don't belong to a larger group. Hence they cease to be "Islamic" or "liberal" and become products of their own individual life histories, Like the Orlando shooter, George Metesky, or Adam Lanza.
You are missing the more important point here.

I find it difficult to imagine that anyone here could title a thread in a more offensive manner than this one has been, nor one which would give rise to a larger feeling of absolute visceral disgust. 
Re: If ONLY there were liberal terrorists . . .
And in this very campaign, how many violent actions are being taken by liberals against those Trump supporters? It's almost not news anymore given how often it happens.

Of course I don't mean it, of course it's hyperbole to make a point. But I'm not sorry I hurt your feelings, considering some of what you've posted here and CSB over the years, you are not exactly the arbiter of good taste.

Re: If ONLY there were liberal terrorists . . .
Don't confuse hurt feelings with complete disgust that anyone would post that they wished someone else, however revolting, to be killed and to wish into existence more terrorists. Not the same animal, rest assured. And were you not wishing to let the past lie? Well keep this in mind then missy.BoSoxGal wrote:Sorry to offend you, I have several family members/friends who are gay and I was pretty offended by his disgusting response to the Orlando massacre.TPFKA@W wrote:I find it difficult to imagine that anyone here could title a thread in a more offensive manner than this one has been, nor one which would give rise to a larger feeling of absolute visceral disgust.

Re: If ONLY there were liberal terrorists . . .
Protest demonstrations -- even protests that turn violent -- are not even in the same solar system as terrorism, let alone an equivalent. Throwing eggs and even punches is not even remotely similar to the murderous acts of a terrorist campaign.Long Run wrote:And in this very campaign, how many violent actions are being taken by liberals against those Trump supporters?

There have been (at least nominally) leftist terrorists in our recent history (Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army, Symbionese Liberation Army), but I don't think it's possible to be a "liberal" terrorist because the very concept and underlying philosophy of liberalism rejects radical and violent direct action as a political tactic.
The merits of terrorism as a tactic are debatable, but without the credible threat of further violence to intimidate the populace and promote a particular agenda, neither a one-off assassination nor a nutjob's mass shooting actually qualifies as terrorism.
GAH!

It's not like my life isn't already hard, I'm half crippled and in constant pain, struggling to make a living and watching my dog suffer in pain because I'm a BROKE. Ass. LOSER. Go ahead, Bette, pile on with some of your vitriol - it's the least of my worries.

I have seen no evidence that any of the violence has been done by liberals.

Hmm, you might be wrong, you know?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

And you are also saying that all conservatives support Trump.
Your comment is merely foolish and unthinking. Like claiming that there are no Homosexual Republicans.
