To get somewhat back on topic
Here's another thing I find some what stunning about this situation. I heard on some radio show (I honestly cannot remember which) that militias in this Country saw an increase in their numbers as a result of the Obama Administration. These "militia newbies" were/are sooooooooo afraid that President Obama is going take away their guns that they felt the need to join a militia to prevent that from happening.
Yet, throughout the entire cluster fuck of the Bush administration you heard nothing...not a peep...from the assorted militia groups around this Country. As we now know, Bush was responsible for perhaps the most dangerous, anti-American, take away your guns, your right to privacy, you rights to a lawyer or to see a Judge, Administration in the history of this Country. And not a fucking peep from the militias. Golly, it's almost as if these idiots don't know WHY our forefathers wanted the people to have the right to bear arms. Maybe they should read the 2nd Amendment, since they obviously have no fucking idea what it was meant to do.
Our forefathers wanted militias as a mechanism for the people to protect themselves from, amongst other things, a tyrannical Government. What the hell are the assholes waiting for?
Seriously, where are these assholes now, when we could really them? Where are these defenders of the Constitution, now that we see how our Constitution was being shredded? For Christ’s sake, the Bush Administration claims in these memos that they had the right to us the U.S. Military against its own citizens!! And yet we still hear not a peep from militia groups. WTF?! Could it be that these militias have gone from true Patriots to nothing more than spineless fear mongering Republican hacks?
I mean, hey, I don’t expect to hear form Right Wing Conservative Republicans. We have seen time and time again that they will never speak poorly of Bush et al. They think he’s a god. But I am surprised (not really) that militia groups haven’t become extremely vociferous in their desire to see the Bush Administration investigated.
And not some stupid, waste of time, waste of money, watered down bullshit, hearing.
A Special Prosecutor, and nothing less, is neededand should be demanded by ALL in Congress. This shit (the contents of those memos) is unbelievable.

I think its because they don't feel imediatly threatened by it. The prolly feel something like: "meh, that's not going to happen to me"
I agree...which kinda proves my point.

I guess they don't have a big deal with the constitution is being shredded with regard to others, ('specially dem terrorists), but when they feel like its directly affecting them they get all up in arms.
Agree...again...which again proves my point.
These so-called militias are pretty much nothing more than a bunch of gun freaks that have two primary goals. One, not to pay taxes and Two, to own any conceivable weapon they want. They could not care less about "why" they are a "militia". It's almost ironic, but more just a case of ignorance.

Its no different than the other side.
No, not really. I get tired of hearing this. Obama has been criticized quite a bit by those on the left. However, we have yet to read anything by those on the right, speaking out against Bush, and/or demanding a special prosecutor be appointed. Of course, these same people were all over a certain other President that happened to get himself a blow job. And here we have true, "dictatorship ideals"...and the silence is deafening.
What is your stance on this issue Catholic Scientist? Do you feel that a special prosecutor needs to be appointed to investigate these allegations? Do you feel that these memos spell out some of the scariest shit you've ever seen from a sitting administration? Or are you OK with what was said? Do you agree with the Bush administration that, for instance, using the U.S. Military against its own citizens is fine and dandy?
