I guess the revolution won't be televised.

This is why George Washington had such a low opinion of militias.

“I am wearied to death all day with a variety of perplexing circumstances, disturbed at the conduct of the militia, whose behavior and want of discipline has done great injury to the other troops, who never had officers, except in a few instances, worth the bread they eat...In confidence I tell you that I never was in such an unhappy, divided state since I was born.”

I wonder if Sandy is out of cigarettes yet. Things could definitely start to get ugly...

They're cracking already. Nicotine withdrawal on top of the stress will not be pretty.

That ship has sailed.

To have any hope at all of success, revolutionaries need to be smart, and these people weren't. They lived in their echo chamber far too long.

I'm still hoping that no more people die, but I fear these remnants will convince themselves that if they sacrifice themselves, they'll spark a revolution.

Yeah, the wonderful private sector. Sell that land and let 'free enterprise reign' who knows, they might convert that land to a garbage dump, private prison, a mine, or a toxic waste dump. Who knows what wonders the privateers would bring to BLM land! But I can guarantee you that if federal land is sold the one thing that the private sector will NOT do is lease grazing land to ranchers for 10-15% of market value

Fact is, the new American patriot breaks local, state and federal laws. To have warrants is a mark of distinction within the group. Subsisting off of government entitlements for dubious reasons is another act of defiance against the Feds and is encouraged.

What do these militants have in common with gang members? Something pretty surprising - sovereign citizens and posse comitatus - Too Weird for The Wire - Kevin Carey

I'm positive George Washington had a warrant on his head from tyrants, too.

New video - Fry is losing the original message and rationale - now on about how the FBI should be fixing highways, infastructure, and nuke plants instead of harassing them

"tell these goddamn government idiots to fix all these reactors, fix our infastructure, our roads, our bridges,"
