This report is really stretching the definition of terrorism. Terrorism is basically mass murder accompanied by blackmail. But the purpose of terrorism is to force a government and its society into submission, and that's the missing ingredient here. The scum who formed al Queda calculated in their own minds that if they could murder 400,000 Americans we would "Submit" to the will of Allah. So basically for AQ it was, "Look at what we just did to you. You thought you were invincible. If you don't "Submit" we will attack again and again until you do!" These jihadis are all of the same mindset.
Now let's look at the right wing extremists. These guys are social outcasts. Losers in life who have had misfortune and failure. To absolve themselves of blame for their failures it's someone elses' fault, like the government. They somehow see the government as infringing upon them and they want to live outside its laws and societal norms. But unlike islamic terrorists these guys are not of the same mindset. They all are angry failures for a different and non-united set of circumstances. They probably couldn't get along with each other well enough to form a cohesively large organization. That's why you hear the term "Lone Wolf" so often. I just don't get worried about a bunch of white guys blowing up a jet because they hate to wait in line at the DMV.

The people we should really fear are right in front of our faces.
I question the source here. I have experience with The Sovereign Right Movement and I can tell you that there is absolutely nothing organized about this group. It is also misleading to consider these people as right wingers. They are splinter groups who specialize in "Paper Terrorism" by inundating our court system with frivolous lawsuits. They will squat on property and claim that they do not follow the laws of our land. They will have a pseudo attorney draw up legal documents, often forcing the legal property owner to spend thousands of dollars in attorneys fighting this claim. The FBI has actually dubbed this as "paper terrorism". There may be isolated incidents where they have become violent when encountered by law enforcement but they are no more than con artists. Their main problem is with law enforcement and our judicial system. They eventually lose the battle after the judges sign a contempt order and they move on to their next target.
To say these people are right wing and associate them with Republicans is outrageous dude. These people have no party affiliation and are nothing more than a rural form of Occupy Wall Street. They want nothing to do with our justice system much less political parties.
Terrorists? Maybe but a huge difference in what they do and what you insinuate they do.
"The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010."

Ak, these are facts man, not theory. Since 2000, The Sovereign Rights Movement have killed 6 people. As unfortunate as that is, it is far from an organized terrorist group...unless you consider Paper Terrorism a threat to our lives or society. They are a freakin pain in the ass but they are far from organized. Read this article and let me know if you have any questions, it is a couple of years old but factual.
