The Militia Movement
It's amazing to me how many people believe the government subsidized press accounts portraying the militia movement as being some grand racist or anti-Jewish conspiracy. Just as I reject the idea that there is some international Jewish conspiracy, I also reject that there is an anti-Jewish conspiracy. The militia movement seems to exist "just in case". These people are preparing for what would happen if the gov't became despotic and violated the constitution and individual rights. There are many militia links on the internet, and the vast majority of them are quite non-racist. When the gov't kills 80 innocent women and children at Waco, or starts outlawing scary looking guns (so-called assault rifles), it causes the militia oriented people to say "See, it's happening!" and they dig in even harder. Everyone hopes that the government won't become despotic, and that revolution won't ever be necessary. But are you willing to bet your life that such a thing will NEVER happen? Recall that Hitler was voted dictatorial powers and also that he enacted strict gun control. No one needs to be reminded what happened after the gun control. Even if you trust the current Clinton regime, there's no good reason to think that it would be impossible for a bad one in 10 or 50 years. We need to retain the final veto. Feel free to send me your comments, and if they're fairly lucid I'll include them as rebuttal/support on the pages below. email Mike Burns
