Are you a member of the Militia?

If you're an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group.

People who supported former third-party presidential candidates like Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr are cited in the report, in addition to anti-abortion activists and conspiracy theorists who believe the United States, Mexico and Canada will someday form a North American Union.

"Militia members most commonly associate with 3rd party political groups," the report reads. "It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarian material."

Other potential signals of militia involvement, according to the report, are possession of the Gagsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag or the widely available anti-income tax film "America: Freedom to Fascism."

Well, I guess I'm a member of the Militia.

After all, everyone here knows my views on abortion.

Yeah me too. The Red White and Gold Ron Paul Militia of freedom and awesomeness

[Eric P]

i voted for bill n opus

[FlameOfCallandor]

But seriously this is pretty fucked up.

[ShogunOfFear]

If believing the constitution should be upheld makes me a miltia, then so be it.

[Cheebs]

militia goes too far  but those people described should be locked up for being mentally ill.

[Brehvolution]

I think Fox news viewers are the militia and they should be careful. The hatred they are spewing is getting dangerous.

[drew]

my cousin is actually in the michigan militia

lol

[Tauntaun]

ACLU officials blasted a Texas fusion center last month for distributing a "Prevention Awareness Bulletin" that called on law enforcement officers to report activities of local lobbying groups, Muslim civil rights organizations and anti-war protest groups.

Wow.  When is Obama gonna repeal the Patriot Act and close down Homeland Security?  smh 

my cousin is actually in the michigan militia

lol

[drew]

hes also a ron paulfag

so stereotypical ugh

[drew]

thats not the militia

think a bunch of guys that get together on a monthly basis that all look like nick frost's character from spaced

[drew]

goddammit cohen

[brawndolicious]

This does bring up a good point about how useless the second amendment is these days.  The only "active" militia is probably the meatheads that sit in the desert looking for any border-crossers.

[brawndolicious]

I know the intention of the founding fathers doesn't matter since they were really hypocritical but it is funny how fast the second amendment in the constitution became obsolete.

God damn you are so fucking stupid. lol

[Van Cruncheon]

they aren't saying that the ron paul nutters are ALL in a militia; just that they often match the profile of a militia crazy. i don't disagree with that at all. correlation doesn't indicate causation, here; just that correlation is surprisingly frequent when it comes to guns and a hatred of government.

Sounds like somebody is profiling...

[Van Cruncheon]

nothing wrong with profiling unto itself; it's only a problem when race is used without a demonstrable correlation

true.  while my uncle (father of my crazy cousin) isnt in a militia, he hates the current governement and obama and he owns a revolver that fires fucking shotgun shells

So let me get this straight.

Profiling based on political ideology: OK
Profiling based on skin color: Not okay


We still have secret ballots in this country right? I bet homos on the left want that to be abolished too.

You should citizens arrest him.

[Human Snorenado]

Ron Paul supporters are apt to be loony fringers?



I don't believe that at all.

[Fresh Prince]

Oddly enough I think Truimph would be the first guy to join a militia if shit hit the fan.

[Phoenix Dark]

This is the study that Alex Jones always mentions  

[Human Snorenado]

Oddly enough I think Truimph would be the first guy to join a militia if shit hit the fan.

Little known facts:

-I own four guns.  All legally.
-I almost made Eagle Scout as a lad.  Got disinterested when I started getting some poontang around 17 or so.
-My family owns a bunch of land in the Blue Ridge mountains that we jokingly refer to as "our end of the world compound".  It's got plenty of fresh water springs, etc etc.
-On the minus side, I'm a lifelong vegetarian so I suppose that I'd have to get used to eating the flesh of my fellow man quickly.

[recursivelyenumerable]

holing myself up in a compound sounds fun

actually, "compound" sounds pretty sexy by itself

I remembered the guns part, though you know have validated my theory.

extreme political ideologues: own guns, hate the government, organize.
black people: may or may not own guns, may or may not hate the government, may or may not organize

please look up "correlation" in the dictionary

Yes

Nothing wrong with the "P" word when used properly.  Criminal profiling is integral to police work.  Racial profiling independent of other factors is what is reprehensible.

Well first the founding fathers didn't follow the "intent" of the constitution in their private lives (slaves, censorship, etc.) so it's just plain wrong to use what they believed in their personal lives as a basis for how the constitution should be interpreted.

Second, do you think that if the largest democratic institutions can be corrupted, that average joe minuteman can really do fair and balanced reform?  Every other country just uses the ballot box when they're dissatisfied with the government.
