Good way to end up on a FBI watchlist.
Does that mean we're all on the watch list now because you mentioned them>Good way to end up on a FBI watchlist. Read websites and if they mention anything about overthrowing the government (in any circumstance) you can rest assured that they have every member on a watchlist and are paying attention to what there doing, purchasing patterns and travel habits.

Do you truly believe this? I really feel sorry for you if you do...If you are a conservative, own a gun, ex military, or like Ron Paul you may be on a watch list right now.

Damn internets... Impossible to "read" intent. My bad.I guess I should have highlighted my sarcasm. I'm not too privy to who the FBI is watching. Do you?
Yeah, I think I remember something about a recent President signing a law that allowed the government to spy on its own citizens without any wiretap warrants. Funny thing, though... I'm pretty sure he wasn't liberal!I think the operative phrase in the statement was "may be".
No one would ever know for sure whether they were on such a list unless and until that knock on the door in the middle of the night, or possibly a well-crafted and lucky FOIA request.
It is a well known fact that our government keeps lists of suspected terrorists. What is to keep someone off the list except the definition of suspected terrorists? One doesn't have to Google to far to see that some in power have a rather liberal definition.
For those who think it can't happen here, remember, most people who lived in the times and places that it did happen didn't think it could happen to them either.
I'm not saying I believe it will happen, but it is certainly within the realm of possibility, and is becoming more plausible as time marches on.
A great backgrounder on how such things have come into being is Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archapelago.
I think failure to understand and accept this possibility indicates too much faith in the nature of government or, more likely, to little understanding of that nature.
