This article was about the partisan bickering in the Senate. No proof at all of your assertion.

Yeah, either I missed it or there was no mention of an actual threat.

I get that you absolutely believe anything printed as a headliine by the MSM as fact, but there's nothing there.

On Friday, a spokeswoman for Senate President Peter Courtney told The Associated Press that the Oregon state police “recommended that the Capitol be closed tomorrow due to a possible militia threat.”

It was enough of a threat for the Oregon State police to issue this recommendation.


Waldo, the link was to FOX News. I can either believe the "MSN" or you. The article speaks for itself.

These right wing extremists with their collections of guns and fondness for violence are very dangerous. We must always guard against those like Tim McVeigh who murdered 168 and injured nearly 700 in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Who knows? The linked article doesn't say anything about a threat. It just quotes a spokeswoman for Senate President Peter Courtney as saying it was "possible" that there was a threat, but the article says nothing about whether there was a threat or, if so, what it might be.

This is just more fake news.

This scenario has been acted out many times in other polluting industries and those that followed more environmentally-conscious practices, became more successful. Some of the leaders of those industries even admitted that this was true. Many industrial operations have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into practices that benefit everyone, including them.
