Oregon Militia take over federal building

[Sil vis pacem para bellum]

Not sure if it is true but I read there was 150 in their "group" but only 12 are actually occupying some empty building in a rural area. The feds are probably hoping it just fades away. The antigun crazies seem to be peeing their pants hoping it will be some bloody shootout that will prove guns are monstrous and armed white guys are devils deserving of annihilation. I'm not really this nuts, guys - just funneling the freakout I saw on twitter.

Surely these "Freedom Fighters" know that as soon as the government takes any of this seriously they will shut down the Internet so that any like minded persons do not have the ability to coordinate a combined front! I have never heard of this group and doubt they have the wherewithal to start or to lead another Civil War in this country.

This makes no sense. I never claim to be a revolutionary and then don't back it up. I claim to be a loudmouth goober, and follow through.

That's signature line material right there.

They can't lead the charge. They have jobs and families and stuff. But you better believe if they didn't they'd be out there! This country is ripe for a revolution! Honey, is there any coffee left? Can you make a pot before you leave for church? I'm being revolutionary on the internet.

You're right, I do have a job. And looking at your post counts compared to mine, I'd have to say you spend more time on the internet keyboard warrioring than I do. Does it feel good to be big bad liberals on the internet, or are you the types who drive your pickups around with your peace sign, rainbow flag, and Bernie stickers plastered all over the back windshields?

Sooooo.... how close are you to Burns again? You shouldn't post and drive.

Other than being armed, are these guys any different than the students taking over the campus offices, or the "occupy wall street" children?

If these guys were looting and burning down their town would the left defend their actions? Or, maybe simply look the other way and not prosecute any of them?
