Home grown terrorists

I don’t mean to muddy the waters, but what connections if any does the Alaskan Independence Party that Governor Palin’s husband is connected with have with “Lashkar-e-Taiba, or Army of the Pure”?

We already know that AIP corresponds with the Chechen Islamic Party. A link to the Chechen Separatists was on their website. The founder of the AIP was allegedly murdered because of a plastic explosives purchase gone bad. We have plenty of home grown terrorists like Timothy McVeigh and “religious” leaders like Waco’s David Koresh living among us. There are two KKK/Skinhead bomb builders from Parkesburg in Chester County now doing time in prison.

If Lashkar is looking for world wide connections we have wing nuts right here walking among us in Pennsylvania. With the right wing of the Republican Party in free fall and the political efforts of extremists stymied our home grown extremists may turn to violence.
