Oh shit, Obama associates with black people. You're right, that means he was an 'issue' with white people.

Right-wing extremism is a manufactured danger... propagated by FBI provocateurs and informants alike.

About Beck, I don't like him, not for the same reason as everyone else. It's just that he's limited hangout for a lot of things. He'll say some very truthful things and lie so hard on others. He'll badmouth the Fed in one segment which is great, then fearmonger his audience on rightwing extremism for example. I guess it's part of every TV character to say stupid stuff for better ratings.

all the fox news stuff has been pretty insane lately. All of the hardcore conservatives and wackjobs werent as popular during the clinton years (aside from rush.....ugh) so this is the first we get to see of them when they dont agree with the government wholeheartedly.

I disagree with fiscal conservatives, but they are at least intelligent people and you can talk to them.
These neo-cons are fucking nuts imo.

No, militia groups are law abiding citizens who want to PROTECT the law with their own hands. Which is exactly what the second amendment defends. Which is exactly what the government and media have demonized for years.

The government concluded it would rather have an unarmed and unthinking population, and so have demonized them for years. Militia groups have existed since before the country was founded, and was assured safety from tyranny by the Bill of Rights, and yet today they're called "extremists" by government apologists all over. People are scared of guns today, they'd rather see men in black uniforms protecting them and smear those who want to be able to defend themselves. How dare you have a gun? You should thank God for having such a loving and caring government.

Certainly they aren't, when you go "too far" here, the mods will close your thread for making them think too much. True story, happened to me.

It isn't well run and won't be well run until you realize you can't have a sustainable government thats running on trillions of debt. Neither party will address how to handle a negative budget without spending more, so I guess we'll be trying to get out of this hole by digging more hole. Maybe we can get to China in a few decades, haha.

You can have an opinion, but it's clear that neither you or Yurebis have any understanding of the context of the second amendment or what Jefferson's original words even were. I'm sure the Wikipedia article worked well for your 10th grade history paper, though.

Protect the law? Vigilantes? The law is interpreted, so how is their protection more valid than another group's? I can assure you the Montana Militia and Delaware Militia have opposing views on the law's intent, and the truth is that neither one of their opinions matter, unless a Supreme Court Justice happens to be a member of one of them.

The second amendment was written in a time when there was no federal army to reign tyranny upon the states. The role of militias, as they were used at the time, has since been replaced by the National Guard. That's why the creation of the NG is called the Militia Act.

The federal government hasn't demonized militias; they've remained largely agnostic. People in militias happen to be fucking weirdos. If you're one of them, then you're probably a weirdo. And yeah, the government really wants an uneducated and apathetic populace. That really works well in democracies.

Glenn Beck is an entertainer first and foremost, and to call him a leading conservative mind is an insult to the ghosts of Milton Friedmen, Fredrich Hayek or even Edmund Burke. I'm sure you've never heard of those men, but let me assure you that they were much more intelligent than Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, Keith Oberman, Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs or any other jackass that's on TV/radio.

Quite frankly, I don't mind the second amendment but it's a horribly written law so it's understandable that both sides feel the need to interpret it according to their own agenda.
