As Patriot Day approaches armed "Militia" who actively denounce "American Democracy" with a stew of quasi-historical myth run amok in America threatening death by martyr worship, e.g. the misunderstood Timothy McVeigh.

Is this a healthy situation?

an example of their rhetoric:

"When the lights go out will you be part of the 75 million that will wake up and go to work? Rifle in hand and fire in heart? Will you be the glue? Will you be the Three Percent?"

Does it make you feel warm and fuzzy?

i think that is significant.

from one of the founders of the group:

"if you need to pigeon hole my politics, i consider myself a christian libertarian. i believe in god, free men, free markets, the rule of law under the founders republic, and that the constitution extends to everyone regardless of race creed color or religion."

and slavery was legal (property), women couldn't vote….oh and what was that thing that happened with the indians and all?

and as i said also, i had never heard of the group you mentioned up there (at the start of the thread) before, but then i went to hear a bit more from them and then you posted the song and it was like it could have been written today,,,or yesterday….give or take…as well (at least parts of it in the political sense?)

i must confess though, i am not really sure who "good time charlie" is "officially" supposed to be ?

will catch up on your other clip in a bit, thanks for posting it.
