Excerpt:

"Jack Kay, the provost and vice president of Eastern Michigan University, has been studying militias and the white supremacy movement in this country for decades. He says militias have changed."

"Most of the folks I talked to in the Michigan militia were very much distancing themselves," he said. "They were saying, 'We don't have an agenda of overthrowing the government. We're simply concerned about our own protection, living off the land, survivalism, gun practice — those sorts of things.' "

That's the point of the story, genius.

Content. Use it. It helps one know what the fuck one is talking about.

Can I borrow this quote sometime? I may need it in another thread.

As you can see, though, it doesn't work.

Some are just not sharp enough to understand discussing different issues separately.

We are a war economy.  Everything we do IS war.

So - some fat mid aged guy talks tough and we all run and hide.

WAR.   WAR.     Obama-- Bush- same WAR.

This is "change".

-- of course people are going to rant-  and act out.

Because the actual truth is guns don't kill people. People kill people.

I dont know where you got your numbers pahunk, but they are wrong. The total Iraqi civilian casualties in Iraq, including those killed by military action and those thousands killed by the various insurgent groups in Iraq has hit 95,888 – 104,595, and that is an average from a number of sites.

However, if you want to see the total breakdown of how people are being killed in Iraq, I invite you to go tohere.

Which basically makes me an armed left wing lunatic (I have the paperwork proving I am crazy thank you very much) who believes that civilization as we know it will end in one of two ways, A) some idiot returning from some "Primitive" vacation brings back an air born bug that makes ebola look like the chicken pox, or B) The tobacco using people of the world rise up and start an armed revolt against tobacco banning nutcases.

Status: offline 		Um....there's an......interesting bit of causal analysis.

I admit I see the militia as off-kilter wannabes. OK, the more benign can help out in an emergency--but so can the National Guard, and with a much more efficient and reliable chain of command. And the anti-government ones are just deluding themselves. If events ever brought us to any real conflict with armed government, it would be over before it began. Our military commanders are just that good.

If we were ever to have a military coup in the U.S. (and I don't think we ever will), no one would know about it until the day after, and probably without a shot fired. Again, they're just that good.
