Whatever happened to the "Militia Movement" that was so big

[The_Casual_Observer]

during the 90's? Back then there was always a story in the papers about weird groups of guys in Michigan and Idaho spending their weekends dressed in cammo, shooting guns & talking about how they hated the government.

1. They're working for Blackwater and KBR in Iraq now. Living the

dream. n/t

[Aristus]

2. They LOVE government now.

They got the President they wanted.

And the white supremacists aren't discouraged by highly placed minorities like Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Alberto Gonzalez. They realize that they are just window dressing to make the Massa look like he's open to "diversity".

3. They're in power now

Why resist your own kind?

6. It was said at the time if an honest to god repressive fascist

government took over the US, that instead of "fighting for their rights" those guys would be the first ones out there patrolling the streets and enforcing the rules.

4. They're running the country. nt

5. That was when we had a Democratic president.

They've all been mainstreamed now.

7. They thought they were the "militia" the 2nd amendment proscribed.

But when it came time to actually defend the nation, they all ran scared. It's easier to be a weekend warrior than a real one.

8. Now that they run the gubmit,

they're sending their kids to Jesus Camp to fight the terrists.

9. They only hated Democrats

Now that there's a Republican in office, everything's hunky-dory for them. Bush could ask them all to hand over their guns tommorow & they'd do it w/no questions asked.

10. OKC bombing took the air out of them...

they pretty much withered away not long after that.

11. Some have made there way to the U.S.-Mexico border ...

and sit in lawn chairs waiting to spot illegals.

12. Maybe since the right have control of

the White House
the House of Representatives
the Senate
the Pentagon
Wall Street
the airwaves
The right wing militia's don't have so much to bitch about, so they went back home to their families, TV's, sports, fishing,wife beating, freaking NASCAR, and Fox News. Perhaps it's the left that should form militia's, learn how to shot, march and most of all organize. Maybe.
