One Man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter

Taxpayer funded National Public Radio (NPR) is calling the FARC “rebels” rather than terrorists. Doesn’t matter that FARC has been kidnapping for ransom, holding hostages chained to jungle trees for years, drug dealing, and murdering anyone who gets in their way. Doesn’t matter that the government of Columbia, against whom they “fighting”, is democratically elected and enjoys solid popular support. No matter, NPR likes the FARC and supports them, calling them by the romantic label “rebels” rather than calling them terrorists, which they are.

Let’s hope the Columbian armed forces are able to defeat the FARC in short order.
