Lets start with american indians quote: ORIGINAL: vincentML quote: the nice thing is that we know the government would never use such a thing on american soil against americans 'Patriot' militia groups who take up arms against the United States are no longer Americans. They are treasonous. They fail to heed the lessons learned by the late Confederacy. So, fuck em! They will deserve the wrath of our Defense forces. The civil war was an imperialist move to fund another round of bonds, loans arent free of charge you know and contracts arent "lawfully proven" by greater force (american style) either. Finally tell me how a living man can take up arms against an abstract entity? You do understand the difference right?

The demise of the Tea Party (RIP) is one notable success in the struggle against hate and extremism. It seems to be spent as a political force. It's leaders are neither seen nor heard from. When was the last time Palin or Bachmann said or did anything of significance? It's gratifying to note that all those millions the Koch Bros spent financing it have joined the Tea Party in going down the drain..... Long may it rest in peace. It is not missed.

I cannot agree with this in whole or in part. The Tea Party died a long time ago, what is not dying is the teabaggers, they are withering on the vine. Bachmann only is in congress because of horrific gerrymandering in this state.

North County Tea Party gaining strength July 30, 2012 By DANIEL BLACKBURN There’s a big party brewing, but it’s not about dancing and cocktails — the issue at hand for members of the rapidly-growing North County Tea Party is nothing less than salvation of these United States. With its own quarterly publication and a membership list now topping 200, the two-year-old group is gaining steam in its quest for “regaining” the nation. “We see this as a vehicle to encourage citizens to get involved, and to inform them about the threats facing our country,” said Paso Robles resident John Texiera, publisher of the Central Coast Tea Party Times. “United we stand, divided we fall — freedom made this country great, not our government.” quote: The first ever Tea Party event in my area last night. A much bigger crowd than expected. Everything was very respectful and the main message was that this is still a great country, and to get out the vote. What a bunch of backward, racist, right wing nutjobs. [image]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/nine_one_one/tryanny/march_of_tyranny.jpg[/image] Democracy rocks!

To take up arms against your government, are you not also taking up arms against the nation? Our founding fathers knew they were committing treason against England when they took up arms. What would be different about a 'patriot group' taking up arms today? I say the same thing about the secessionists. They are violatiing the very Pledge of Allegiance that they bemoan the fact every time is isn't recited in school

mnottertail -> RE: The Year in Hate and Extremism (3/7/2013 8:56:16 AM)
It was Talleyrand that said that, but under different circumstances and in a wholly different context.

Anything coming close to a civil war in a country this large would probably require a million or so participants. 100,000 at arms and the rest in logistics. Anything smaller wouldn't get a chance to build momentum. Remember a place called Auganistan? How many "miscontents" with homemade explosive devices and old AK47s did it take to kick the Russian's ass and are now giving the worlds most powerful army fits? Relativly small groups, THAT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, could paralize order in the US. Tanks, and fighter jets are only effective if the military is willing to kill everybody and destroy everything in an area. That won't happen in the US.

"Apathetic" Americans are too comfortable. The situation in Afghanistan is different in 2 important ways. 1. The fighters there believe that their duty is to die for their faith and in doing so, they are guaranteed a spot in heaven. 2. The standard of living is so different that there is less apathy. There are so few modern comforts that activism becomes more likely. Revolution is much less likely on a full belly.

Isn't that what I just basically said? The situation is so different that it would be utter folly to make predictions of occurences in one based on the other.

I think it's blatantly obvious that my stated view -- "the existing US government is no longer legitimate because it has blatantly violated the constitution and does not even pretend to represent the interests of any but it's wealthiest donors/citizens" is certainly going down the treason path. It may or may not be fully there yet but it's certainly on that path. I'm cool with that. I bow blindly to no man or government.

I think they're just against the government, not the nation as a whole. Wasn't it Talleyrand who said that "treason is only a matter of dates"? Is a nation not defined by its government? Ideally, that would be the case, but in practice, not always. quote: To take up arms against your government, are you not also taking up arms against the nation? It would depend on whether you define "the nation" as being just the government (or just a single political party/faction) - or the people as a whole. quote: Our founding fathers knew they were committing treason against England when they took up arms. What would be different about a 'patriot group' taking up arms today? Sure, they knew the risks they were taking and the consequences of getting caught, but the founding fathers also considered that America was a separate nation by that point. So, they weren't taking up arms against their "nation," since their nation was no longer England. "Nation" can be defined and interpreted in different ways. I've heard some Europeans tell me that America is not really a nation at all, not like European nations are. I don't agree with that view, but I suppose it depends on how one perceives and defines the concept. My only point was that armed rebellion against the government is just that - armed rebellion against the government. It's not against "the nation," since that would imply the people as a whole. Other than that, these aforementioned groups may be criminals, terrorists, insurrectionists (if/when they ever do anything), but I don't think their nationality would suddenly change, even under those circumstances. They'd still be Americans.

I'll go with Mr Lincoln's definition rather than your specious parsing of the words: "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." We have a REPRESENTATIVE government. The government is us. Like it or not. If people are unhappy with the Nation's government there are peaceful remedies at hand. We call it the Vote.
