anyone know what the right-wing militia crowd is up to lately?

[arcane1]

I'd imagine they would be getting quite concerned about how things are going in this country... hell they may be our allies if Bush wins in November!

But that's an assumption on my part, I haven't heard much from that world lately...

:shrug:

1. check David Neiwert's blog

He's a journalist who keeps tabs on them.

[onehandle]

2. Nothing.

They've been quiet with their kind of guy in office.

The McVeighs, Furrows and other NRA monsters will return when Bush is booted this Fall. One of the few downsides to the election.

[arcane1]

3. is Bush really their kind of guy?

I just don't imagine them liking things like the Patriot Act very much...

[onehandle]

4. Probably not...

But their weapons of choice are not being restrained in any way.

[booley]

5. thats the irony...

they figure as long as thier guns aren't being restricted, it doesn't matter if the rest of thier rights get taken away.

8. Sure they do. Gives 'em the framework to spy on and eventually murder

people they disagree with or don't like.

Hell, right-wing paramilitaries are popping up all over the nation, "patrolling their areas" and "watching the children"

(I have the Elhart Indiana story on file somewhere and tried to Google it, but it was ahile ago and fell off)

The Nationalized Neighborhood Watch and VIPs (see the www.citizencorps.gov for more info) give them the imprimatuer of authority, which is exactly how the Right-Wing Death Squads got their start in Central and South America (some of 'em).

Some are probably true to their principles and cheesed off, most I would guess are just looking for the chance to murder their foes, 1940s Mississippi-style and are just looking for a Totalitarian Government who will let them get away with it without investigation or prosecution.

Give the Busheviks 20 or 30 years of One-Party Power, and that day will be here.

6. Probably holed up in Idaho

Doing a circle jerk around the fire pit.

[democracyindanger]

7. Since when

did they discover fire?

[Robin Hood]

9. lol...

Now that's funny.

10. I agree, I would've thought the shrubbies waiving habeas corpus

claiming the right to imprison whoever they want without charges on "terrorism" grounds would/should be a huge issue with these types, but if not I guess they are quite stupid...

11. They have their own Party now, Constitution Party.

At least I think that is what is going on with that. I think they are going mainstream...saw a survivalist site a couple weeks ago that said thousands have been thrown in prison for nonpayment of taxes and the like.

Hopefully Judge Roy Moore will run on that ticket and hurt the hell out of the GOP with the fundy's, too. It is the 3rd largest party in the country with over 300,000 registered members and a whole lot more sympathizers.

The name of their party pretty much says it all for these guys...they can't possibly support Patriot! I hope they have a HUGE turnout this fall!

12. Getting ready to be deputized when * steals the election or marshall law

installed after the next LIHOP/MIHOP attack on the US. Bu$h will use them as "peacekeepers" to quell the protests or riots when the election is stolen or suspended.

I'm sure that they'd love to take out a few dissenting liberals/commies/homos/minorities/feminists.....

I wouldnt put it past this administration to use civilian nazis for their facist agenda.

13. the troopers

are pissed at bush for having "judean" advisor's, the homeland security laws have them ready to lock and load, although they don`t like the Arabs they hate the Jews more. they also debate whether or not Iranians are Aryans-interesting- and last but not least-mel gibsons is their hero,they love his movie and the portrayal of the jews..oh yes and they still hate the african,mexican,southeast asian americans. that about sums up the daily lives of the glorious stormtroopers
