I saw this surfing, and couldn't believe what I was reading. Now ordinary crime is classified as terrorism? Wait just a minute here.

Florida Sheriff Candidate Believes Crime is Terrorism

The blurring of lines between crime and terrorism continues. According to section 802 of the Patriot Act, minor criminal offenses can be interpreted as terrorism by government officials. The recent implementation of Operation Sudden Impact in Memphis and surrounding areas had various people from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies go on a fishing expedition searching for terrorists. The operation resulted in the issuance of several traffic tickets, the confiscation of a small amount of drugs but failed to catch any terrorists. It was nothing more than a martial law training operation because the real terrorists are actually funded by high level government black operations. The U.S. House of Representatives last year passed HR 1955 the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 which if gets signed into law will give the government a blank check to potentially classify certain belief systems as terrorism. As horrible as all of these things are, we now have a candidate running for Sheriff in Florida's Orange County using the slogan "Crime is Terrorism". Malone Stewart proudly displays this slogan on his web site and in his campaign signs. There is no question that the lines between criminality and terrorism are quickly being erased and if this continues the government will just accuse people who don't like what they are doing of being terrorists and haul them away to FEMA run death camps.

Below is a photo of one of Mr. Stewart's campaign signs a reader sent to us which shows clearly that he is running his campaign using the slogan "Crime is Terrorism".


So I guess if my kid shoplifts something from a store, this guy will use the Patriot Act to prosecute him, and call him a terrorist? How do peole like this even get on the ballot, anyway?
