"Rat Out Our Neighbors,Family and Friends"...I dunno but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck. Here's the point: if we agree that people don't always express themselves well then how on earth can anyone justify "ratting someone out". Sometimes what you THINK you see or what you THINK you hear or read, isn't at all what it appears to be.
Ergo, that's EXACTLY why crazed loons should leave the ratting out of neighbors and friends behind. Also, it's a baited thread with a baited premise,rather creepy imho. Who are the extremists again? How do we define them?
The tomato story says it all for me Finito, this topic is embarrassing to me as a citizen who enjoys her country and the people in it, which includes my neighbors,my friends,and my family. God help us all.

Re: It's time we rat out our neighbors, family & friends
people come up with notions like this simply because they have lived a protected life and have never really had to consider the value of life at a crucial moment
it is not something you just casually blather about

BTW, the job of the gubmit is to uphold the constitution. It has no obligation, or duty, to satisfy the wants and cries of mainstream america. Majority rule is not how this country was designed to work.

Exactly.
Once again, it looks like the OP merely misworded his original posting and subsequently backpedaled and clarified that he really meant "violence", not merely "extreme viewpoints".

I second that. Leave it to tolatarian governments to get its citizens to start tattle-tailing on fellow citizens.

The groups we should rat out are MILITANT groups who believe in violence. I should have stated that from the start and I'm sure you agree with that. How could anyone NOT agree?

So I guess you wouldn't drop a dime on a drug dealer in your neighborhood either? If you know a group is planning violence against your country and you don't report it, then that person is just as much a coward as the domestic terrorists.

Correction: That's criminally plotting fellow citizens. Wouldn't you report a group planning to assassinate our president? That is what good, brave citizens do. To not act would be cowardly.
