The only "militia" we need right now is the NRA, the ACLU and other groups. We have gone through some scary times vis a vis civil liberties in this country. The Adams adminstration and the Alien and Sedition Act, Jim Crow, the Sedition Act of 1918 under Wilson, the first and second red scares, the internment of Japanese Americans (including citizens) etc. We got through them all peacfully and via the rule of law. The fact is you will get a lot further writing checks, writing letters and working as a precicnt captain than talking tough on the internet and playing weekend warrior. If and I stress if that fails, you will find plenty of militia's and many will be manned by liberals (wearing tactical Birkenstocks) believe it or not, but if we didn't need them before, there is little reason to believe we need them now. Now is the time to give the GOP a kick in keister and demand a positive program. What are they for, not against? I never heard it from McCain and I still haven't. This isn't a partisan shot either. I just want a Newtesque plan for where the party will take us and why its better. Not just why BO sucks. I am still waiting.

YOU LIKE NEWT ? I'm pleasantly surprised.
2 comments on your post, first, the current regime proves that the anti communist activities of the "red scares" were not sufficient. As a note, declassified Soviet documents and Army radio intercepts from those eras prove that it was not a "scare". If any thing the threat was UNDERSTATED because the Govt was already infiltrated. The first foriegn official assasinated in Washington WAS not the Chilean Ambassador Letelier in  the 1970's, it was in fact Soviet intelligence agent Walter Krivitsky in 1941. When Joe McCarthy claimed to have the names of 100 communists working in sensitive areas of the US government, the actual number of Code named KGB agents, (including Julius Rosenberg, darling of the left, code name "Liberal" ) was 301.
Second, During those earlier times people were far more self sufficient and there was no where near the current level of technology available. The "Entitlement mentality" may be docile as long as the checks show up but in a modern financial crash when the checks don't go out or won't cover the cost of anything the riots will make the 60's pale by comparison.

I don't really like Newt but I do respect him (his flaming hypocrisacy about his personal life aside). He is a smart guy who knows his history and understands that while you might win an election by tearing the other side down, you only win a governing majority by saying what you are for. Nobody has has done it since 1994. I will always respect him for telling the voters in simple and honest terms that if you vote R you get X. If you vote D you get Y.Make your choice. This is what the GOP needs to do again if they want my vote (and I am more than willing to give it to them as I have voted for more Republicans than Democrats in my life).

I saw Glen Beck talking about this with an associate. They believe the "militia" problem is being orchestrated and put out in the news to set up the conservatives. First they call protesters terrorists, then they paint conservatives as violent with the militia talk, and it gives them the public opinion they need to pass their socialist crap.

Geez, apparently, according to this asshat from the Southern Poverty Law Center, all of us on here are a bunch of racist, neo-facist, militia members.  I never realized I was ANY of those things until this douchebag with the Carrot Top haircut said so to Anderson Cooper.  Oh yeah, and it sounds like he wants to limit our ability to speak out, saying that "words are often not benign".  So much for the First Amendment.

What the hell is going on in this country, and why are we in this hand basket?

Because a bunch of bums, the dead and illegals rounded up by ACORN, guilt ridden libs, and welfare recipients, voted NOT for the good of the country but to make it better for themselves.  All of this aided and abetted by the MSM.

I guess I am a Militia of One!

The Southern Poverty Law Center thinks all conservative, and constitutionalist, are crazies waiting to start a mass genocide.  F$%# 'em, and their bull sh#%.

Couldn't help it.  Back when trash was thrash.
