Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends.As always, to these Marxist fringe tin-foil hatters, the fact of Obama's "blackness" is THE significant issue. Of course, if you're paying attention, you'll notice that they are the only ones endlessly referring to it.The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Souther Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration.
The Militia Movement of the 1990s gained traction with growing concerns about gun control environmental laws and anything perceived as liberal government meddling.Goddamned extremists.
The spark for that movement came in 1992 with an FBI standoff with white separatist Randall Weaver at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Weaver's wife and son were killed by an FBI sniper. And in 1993, a 52-day standoff between federal agents and the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas resulted in nearly 80 deaths. These events rallied more people who became convinced that the government would murder its own citizens to promote its liberal agenda.
A series of domestic terrorism incidents over the past year have not been directly tied to organized militias, but the rhetoric behind some of the crimes are similar with that of the militia movement. For instance, the man charged with the April killings of three Pittsburgh police officers posted some of his views online. Richard Andrew Poplawski wrote that U.S. troops could be used against American citizens, and he thinks a gun ban could be coming.
And finally, doesn't the word "militia" imply an organized group? Isn't that what they're trying to warn about...all those organized "mobs" of crazies?
Yet...in the same breath, in order to indict Patriots in any way they can, they feel the need to try to shoe-horn individual murderous criminals - who happen to be white - into their wild-eyed theories of "militias". "Lone Wolf" doesn't mean lone wolf. When used by the hysterical Southern Poverty Law Center, it means: "A individual criminal who commits an act we would dearly love to associate with one of our favorite rightwing boogey men, but there is absolutely no evidence to do so...but we need a phrase to suggest, without actually stating it, that he is somehow aligned with them so we can use every white criminal as evidence of right-wing, racist extremism."
In that over-heated rhetoric, did you notice the word "alleged".....The FBI's assistant director for counterterrorism Michael Heimbach, said that law enforcement officials need to identify people who go beyond hateful rhetoric and decide to commit violent acts and crimes. Heimbach said one of the bigger challenges is identifying the lone-wolf offenders.
One alleged example of a lone-wolf offender is the 88-year-old man charged in the June shooting death of a guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
Oh, those people burn me up. I've been onto their scam since the Clinton years. You can automatically assume that any sewage flowing from the mouth of Morris Dees or the SPLC is the purest socialist cant - and that it will soon become the official position of the Ass party.
