Tea Parties, the militia and insurrectionism

<snip>Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty.

And yes, it's in Oklahoma, which 15 years ago next week suffered at the hands of the militia-loving, right-wing terrorist Timothy McVeigh.

1. This is all about intimidation
These idiots wouldn't know how to deal with "responding to federal infringements on states rights" even if it actually happened.

It's all bark with no bite.

Dumbasses.
