Me.....
Not one bit.
I would wear that title as a badge of honor and Im sure the "Terrorist" of the last 100 years have been nothing but people like us that have had it with being controlled.
"One thing my years in Washington taught me is that most politicians are followers, not leaders. Therefore we should not waste time and resources trying to educate politicians. Politicians will not support individual liberty and limited government unless and until they are forced to do so by the people," says Ron Paul."
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it."
James Madison
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

I've been called worse by much more important people.
Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
I've been called a lot of things.
Some are true, some ain't.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I probably have every reason to be considering my urban/suburban lifestyle and upbringing haven't afforded me too many survival skills....but for whatever reason, I'm not. I'm at a point in my life now where, if I have to die for the things in which I believe, so be it.

I'll be quite honest, hell yes, the idea of the Eye of Sauron settling upon me and mine is very frightening.
That's all these people do, every day, day in and day out, is ruin people's lives and $#@! them up.
Not gonna stop me though.
It could be worse.
Insurgent. Yes, I like the sound of it. Beats the sound of libtard, anyway.
I'm not particularly fond of the idea considering the potential legal ramifications, but there's nothing we can do to change how we're labeled by the MSM at the moment, and it's too late to change that label for most of us, anyway. It is what it is.
I know it's coming. And I've tried to ready myself for it. It does scare me to think about public opinion turning against me, which is the point, but not enough to turn back.
I'm in it for the long haul.
The term only means what they want it to mean. They've done extensive work ensuring that these words convey a certain image beyond their true definitions.
For example, I remember after the Boston Bombing, they asked "Is this terrorism?". Is this terrorism? Of course it's freaking terrorism, it doesn't matter if it's a Muslim or a government agent, it fills the definition of fighting using unconventional means for violence. What they were really saying is, is there a muslim we can create mass-hysteria over? They've completely changed the definition to mean any arab who opposes the US and Isreal, just add "suspected" if they haven't actually committed or plotted any violence, and voila, permission to do whatever you want to them.
Similarly, we all know that extremist is a similar label so that they can do whatever they want to those with opposing ideas, regardless of whether they're actually plotting any sort of resistance or violence or not.
Should that scare us? Probably, but people are increasingly realizing what they're doing, and that collectively we can remove the legitimacy that they have taken. We must continue with an intellectual revolution that has a much greater track record, rather than taking them on at what they do best (force). They realize that their power hinges on we the people allowing it, they just don't want us to know how much power we truly have.

The kids they dance and shake their bones,
While the politicians are throwing stones,
And it's all too clear we're on our own,
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down...

"Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms."

No one has tried to sell me C-4 explosives on RP forums.....YET. But I can assure you that the day is coming. LOL
I would like to call myself revolutionary.

“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
I think owning the term, wearing the t-shirt in public, etc takes away the power of the word... Only way to handle it. It's the only defense against the mundanes.... Make them think it's a silly word. We've let the $#@! in DC control the language for too long.
As someone else stated, not sure I'm ballsy enough to wear the shirt to the airport.
I'd rather be called an insurgent than a teabagger any day of the week. Those bluewaffledivers
A savage barbaric tribal society where thugs parade the streets and illegally assault and murder innocent civilians, yeah that is the alternative to having police. Oh wait, that is the police
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

The Federalist Papers, No. 15:
Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
Growing up here in California, it was kind ingrained in me to dislike those crazy "conservatives" until I met some really nice conservatives. Going on these forums, the general attitude is that those "liberals" are the scum of the earth, hellbent on taking our country down the toilet. I pretty much decided then that labels were just an imaginary wall created to distract us from the real crazy scum of the earth. Chances are if you run into or come across a majority "liberals" or "conservatives", you wouldn't even know because most people are generally nice, respectful people. So I'll chalk up "insurgents" as another one of these retarded labels brought to us by the creators of the left/right paradigm.
That reminds me of a joke about the bear asking the rabbit if he had a problem with $#@! sticking to his fur, the rabbit said he didn't and the bear wiped with the rabbit. With that in mind I definitely have a problem with them labeling me an insurgent. I am not an insurgent, I am just not buying that they are selling.
