Right-wing terrorists burn down topless coffee shop

In the world of the Right, force has become a first resort.

Recent incidents reveal that the modern right-wing mind has brainwashed itself into believing that violence - even murder - is the way. I've been on the defensive from their violence for years just because of politics or economics, and I know their minds like the back of my hand.

On Wednesday, a topless coffee shop in Vassalboro, Maine, that was the target of protests by the moral hypocrites of the Right mysteriously burned down. The shop was completely destroyed - along with the residence of the owner's family. Now fire officials have ruled that it was no accident. It was arson.

Emboldened by other recent right-wing violence, zealots in Maine felt encouraged to go after the risque coffee shop as well.

We need to call this arson what it is: terrorism.

Hell, the government charges folks on the left with "terrorism" just for speech - not even actions. The speech in question doesn't even encourage violence, yet still they are charged. In fact, there's Bush-era laws designed just to go after left-wing speech, while letting right-wing terrorism go unpunished.

Just because America's right wing has less political power now than any other time since 1981 doesn't mean we shouldn't keep a corner of one eye on them. That's why I monitor their Tea Party mockeries in person.

The extreme right has apparently convinced itself that the path to heaven involves controlling what other folks do in private. That mentality is dangerous.

  1. The action of the arsonist is absolutely unwarrented. It’s one thing to get a petition or a rally going but to destroy the lives of five people when nobody was getting hurt except one person’s view of morality..for shame. I talk more about this and what it means on my blog: http://peglegspinners.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/i-like-my-coffee-like-my-women-with-tits/
