Now we'll be called terrorists even more for not loving the FED.

I was just about to create a thread on this, Dylan.

Here's the link from Lew Rockwell:

Yes, it's treasonous to not willingly accept the coercion of the state, and other such doublespeak.

Worse, it was a sting operation:

Quazi Nafis was arrested Wednesday morning after a sting operation. Authorities say he parked a van filled with what he believed were explosives outside the building and tried to detonate it.

But his associates were actually undercover officers who arrested him at the scene — and the bomb was not real.

I guess the FBI has learned something over the years.

This time they didn't give their patsy actual explosives.

Poor schmuck. Entrapment, plain and simple.

Really? 

Another supposed terrorist fell for the old "Go ahead and push the button, we got your back" trick?     Maybe these things aren't as humorously obvious as they seem from the sidelines, but c'mon.   

Anyway, I guess it was time to remind everyone that the "Turrrrists Hate Our Freedoms" and renew the justification of whatever the hell we're supposed to be doing "over there".   

But ya know what?  We'd have been  better off without that building anyway.    Not saying I want to see people dead, mind you... just that the choice of target was kind of ironic.    A moderately uneducated person would probably think blowing up the FED is striking a blow at the heart of American Capitalism.     But it would be doing us a huge favor.  (Figuratively, of course; the loss of one building won't actually do anything).   Who would have thought someone would take the whole "End the FED" thing literally?

Kid probably doesn't even know what the Federal Reserve is.

"I'm gonna blow up some FEDs, man!  F'real!"

Great.   Now we're all on the watchlist.

first read this I thought it was a patriots movement type, the kind who think freeing the slaves made white people second class citizens because of grammar
