Terrorism

Definition

A highly selective threat to national security, defined strictly by whether or not the participants support my personal agenda. If a group of radical environmentalists, college students, or political opponents hold a peaceful rally without my written permission, it is a "vicious, coordinated act of domestic terror" that must be crushed instantly with raw military force. However, if thousands of my loyal, flag-waving supporters storm a federal building, assault law enforcement, and vandalize the Capitol, it is beautifully reclassified as a peaceful "patriotic picnic" where the participants are actually "political hostages" who deserve a full presidential pardon and a standing ovation.
