The Rude One: Bobby Joe Rogers is as much a terrorist as any mythical al-Qaeda sleeper agent. But because he was deluded by radical Christianity instead of radical Islam, he probably won’t be treated as such. The groups that cheer on Rogers won’t be investigated. Their assets won’t be seized. Their members won’t be demonized for the things they wrote and spoke that led directly to violence. They will be treated as anomalies, not the mainstream of a virulent, anti-American ideology. We will be told by anti-choice politicians that they don’t advocate violence and that we shouldn’t think that all anti-choice protesters are like Rogers. We will be expected to believe them.
