SPLCenter.org: SPLC Report: Return of the Militias

After the Ruby Ridge and Waco fiasco of the 1990's, there is a second wave of right wing extremism coalescing in this country, and while I'm not entirely against U.S. citizens uniting for a common cause, it is interesting to know what the motivation is behind the second wave of far right wing unity.

Do you believe it is beneficial to the nation to have community based militias in order to challenge or subvert government tyranny?

Government tyranny?

Thats a cover for rightwing extremism/terrorism.

I never heard a word about tyranny during the Bush/Cheney reign but supporters of illegal war against Iraq were the leading voices who supported the Bush - Cheney war criminals.

These people now wish to subvert government thru terrorism and I hope the U.S. government uses every means at its disposal to dispatch rightwing domestic terrorists if any of these "militias" try and subvert the law to incite treason and violence

Indeed, we need more drunk rednecks with guns, more militias and more Rebel flags, heck, we might as well reinstitute slavery. It is this kind of "forward thinking" that makes rural America so progressive and enlightened.

This is actually quite a funny post.

Rednecks with guns did more to secure your right to organize and unionize than any other group in American history.

Ever heard of the Battle of Blair Mountain?
