The Washington Post
Those in the movement call themselves patriots, demanding that the federal government adhere to the Constitution and stop what they see as systematic abuse of land rights, gun rights, freedom of speech and other liberties.


Soper started his group, which consists of about 30 men, women and children from a handful of families, two years ago as a “defensive unit” against “all enemies foreign and domestic.” Mainly, he’s talking about the federal government, which he thinks is capable of unprovoked aggression against its own people.

I totally agree with them! America's politicians are all corrupt thieves and corporate HOs!

There is a right way to stop the gov't mess- but not via 30 cats with a flag, truck and guns-
we can demand accountability- but for that, we must cleanup before our own door step

There tends to be an 'ebb & flow' with these groups:

Quote:
"Much of the movement traces its roots to the deadly 1990s confrontations between civilians and federal agents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and in Waco, Tex., that resulted in the deaths of as many as 90. Timothy McVeigh cited both events before he was executed for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people, and he said he had deliberately chosen a building housing federal government agencies."
The 'movement' & Mr. Soper himself received a 'boost' from the Bundy fiascoes:

Quote:
Shortly after the Bundy ranch confrontation, two of Bundy’s supporters who had been at the ranch, Jerad and Amanda Miller, killed two police officers and a civilian and also died in a Las Vegas shooting rampage. Police said the couple left a note on the body of one the officers they had shot point-blank.

It said: “This is the beginning of the revolution.”

One of the reasons the 'movement' folks tend to blather on about States' rights.

You are right, ALL politicians are HOs, IMO!
