Second Hand Interest

When you do something or buy something you normally wouldn't just because your current friends own or enjoy doing it.
Ever since I moved here I can't stop buying guns. Billy Bob takes me hunting every week, so I end up going to gun shows and the like.

Sounds like you've picked up a second hand interest.

conflict of interest

A financial, emotional, reputational, or other personal interest in any matter held by a person having authority over the same matter. Tking advantage of authority over such a self-serving personal interest may be considered criminal. At the very least, it is usually harmful to others.
Most legislators either already have been, or eventually become lawyers, so they abuse their conflict of interest over legislation to make sure that laws are conducive to the job security of lawyers and legislators.

divine intervention

When a miracle happens. When the hand of God reaches down and saves someone from a life threatening or dangerous situation.
When someone is placed in the right place at the right time to be a catalyst for someone in need, when the person in need may have been in angst about how they would get through a certain situation.
It has nothing to do with sports.
When I was sick, and didn't know how I was going to get by, or eat- get medicine, and someone was anonymously inspired to slip assistance under my door, or bring me food or take me to a doctor.

Missing any form of transportation you were supposed to be on, and discovering it was in a terrible accident, or driving a different way to work/school, or where ever you were to go and missing a major accident.
Those who were running late or stopped to do something else, or were scheduled to be out of the office on 9/11- any scenario when a life or injury was spared because of out of the norm circumstances. To me these are more plausible examples of divine intervention.

Special Interest

Some autistic people have a very strong and passionate interest in something that can last for several years, known as a Special Interest or SPIN for short.

Insurgent

An insurgent is someone who is not in the official military of a nation but fights against a country in a rebellion (see insurgency). The Iraq War was actually a short war, it's now an insurgency. There are insurgencies all over the world, Chechnya for example.

It's not just a 'liberal term' for 'terrorist', grow up. Not all insurgents are terrorists, while many feel they must resort to such tactics.

Get out of your redneck holes and get educated. Stop blaming all of your problems on liberals, Bush was the one who lied about WMDs and started the pointless war.
