Militiamen Waving Guns At White House To Celebrate A History Of Patriotic Intimidation

It's protest time! Iraq veteran Daniel Almond and a bunch of other angry Americans "intend to make history as the first people to take their guns to a demonstration in a national park, and the Virginia rally is deliberately being held just a few miles from the Capitol and the White House." There is, naturally, more.
Almond plans to have his pistol loaded and openly carried, his rifle unloaded and slung to the rear, a bandoleer of magazines containing ammunition draped over his polo-shirted shoulder. The Atlanta area real estate agent organized the rally because he is upset about health-care reform, climate control, bank bailouts, drug laws and what he sees as President Obama's insistence on and the Democratic Congress's capitulation to a "totalitarian socialism" that tramples individual rights.

A member of several heretofore little-known groups, including Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership and Oath Keepers — former and active military and law enforcement officials who have vowed to resist laws they deem unconstitutional — Almond, 31, considers packing heat on the doorstep of the federal government within the mainstream of political speech.

Noted: The law allowing guns in national parks was actually signed by President Obama, although that does not seem to dissuade those who believe he is ushering in a socialist dictatorship in which those firearms will be seized and melted down to create the tools necessary to perform mandatory dilation-and-extraction procedures on pregnant Christian women.

3. If he shuts up about the other stuff and goes with the bank bailouts,
he'll get a lot more traction.

And, IMHO, health insurance reform doesn't look peachy-kean or squeaky clean either. That pre-planned pharma deal still sticks in my craw.

Don't worry, I'm not going to the dark side, but this guy has a couple of points that may resonate and recruit folks more to the middle.
