Anyone a member of a Left Wing Militia???

I don't personally know of any.

Maybe my PBS membership counts?

The ACLU is sort of crazy at times, that freedom of speech thing is sort of radical.

I also have a library card.

Please keep my list to yourself. Thanks! I don't want any fed trouble.

I'm actually a LIBRARIAN

What does THAT mean? :evilgrin:

All those books all day long, you must be up to sumthin'!

I don't know but apparantly we are a group of some sort.

Librarians Rock!:yourock:

:rofl:

Does that count?

And I just remembered, I do own a gun; I'm just not sure which closet I put it in. Also, I have no ammo. I guess I'd suck at the militia thing.

And started thinking about MAYBE taking over the Dean's office - you know, like in the old days.

But then, someone sparked up some hydro.

They got the shaft so bad. We saw them when they came to WA state and they were fantastic.

But 2 of the 3 ladies have some other kind of music gig going - I think they're touring soon.

Not for any political pressure reasons, I think they just wanted to go their own ways.

Martie and Emily have a side project going called the Court Yard Hounds.

or the Animal Liberation Front.

Also, the SLA, Venceremos, or the Black Panthers would be considered left wing militias.

Under "Black separatists". http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/ideology/black-separatist/active_hate_groups

Per the SPLC:

Black separatists typically oppose integration and racial intermarriage, and they want separate institutions — or even a separate nation — for black people in America. Most contemporary forms of black separatism are strongly anti-white and anti-Semitic, and a number of religious versions assert that blacks — not Jews — are the Biblical "chosen people" of God.

Although the Southern Poverty Law Center recognizes that much black racism in America is, at least in part, a response to centuries of white racism, it believes racism must be exposed in all its forms. White groups espousing beliefs similar to black separatists would be considered clearly racist. The same criterion should be applied to all groups regardless of their color.

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said: "Violence begets violence; hate begets hate; and toughness begets a greater toughness. It is all a descending spiral, and the end is destruction — for everybody. Along the way of life, someone must have enough sense and morality to cut off the chain of hate."



ELF is also pretty out there, as you mentioned above.
I can't think of any else. The truth is RW terrorism is way more prevalent then left wing terrorism is.

The left here in the U.S. has, for the most part, been mild for all of its existance, and always unacceptable by the mainstream. An extremist right wing fringe has always been acceptable.

It is true ALF has rescued animals being tested in labs, and ELF has burned down buildings, but how many people have been killed, or even wounded by them? I have not seen any statements by them that they were seeking to physically harm anyone, although obviously they have sabotaged things and caused property damage. There is nowhere near a comparison.

So lets look at what the violent right have done in the past 20 years -

Let's look at what the anti-abortion fanatics and militias have spawned in the US...

George Tiller - killed in 2009

Oklahoma City bombing - 168 killed

In the 1990s - Gunn, Patterson, Britton, Barrett, Lowney, Nichols, Sanderson, Slepian all killed by anti-abortion killers. Not to mention all those attempted murderers, wounded etc.

Atlanta Olympics bombing - 2 killed

Then there's James van Brunn shooting up the Holocaust museum

And so many other examples - in the past 20 years.

YMMV.

He was later imprisoned for threatening Illinois States Attorney Lisa Madigan.

He was personable and reasonably informed on the issues. The conclusions he reached with that info was really hard to understand however. I only had one serious arguement with him and that was about the Militia movement.

That guy coulda got kicked out of the asylum.

:spray:

qualify as members of the "Left Wing Militia" portion of the "unorganized militia".

You mean I don't have to go through the trouble and expense of (1.)putting together an arsenal of assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo, (2.)assembling a wardrobe of camouflage clothing, (3.)having to read "The Turner Diaries" and underline the really good parts, (4.)figuring out who Jesus wants me to shoot, (5.)putting up a satellite dish so I can get constant access to "The Military Channel" or (6.)posing in pictures with my fellow Christian Warriors (none with a lower rank than captain) and a bunch of pathetic women whose facial expressions indicate their realization that they've made the worst decision of their lives?

Jeez, everyone in a while you catch a break. Now---where the fuck is my militia medal?

Cuz, yanno, we're in the middle of a takeover by communist nazis and need the UN to invade us and restore the Confederacy.

Or something... :crazy:

And these are the same dipshits who usually make such a big deal of flag worship and etiquette......

quaint to remember that there is such a thing. Businesses, especially car dealers, aren't even aware of the concept.

:spray:

just got off the phone with jesus
he says dont shoot anyone

The Hubster watches it sometimes. BO-RING!

if there's a militia comprised of old ladies with hair-trigger canes, I guess I'm a member.


Lip off about Obama at your peril, punk!

but I likely would not shout at Karl Rove if I saw him in person.

Conservatives are carnivores.

A large, vegetable smoking animal?

But I am a liberal!

:rofl:

:-) :hi:

and the sign would appeal to both the RW and the left

im serious ...read it and see

Leave the camo for huntin' season. We'll wear tie-dye, get a couple bands. Start the day with a cannon shoot. Professional explosive demolotion exhibition - maybe Detroit will let us play! For $100 to the food bank, you get to shoot up an old car with an M-60, or AK-47 a gallon can of gas with tracers. $25 entry to the .22 target rifle shoot-off, 3 rounds a round, double elimination, 50% payback for prizes. A Green Technology midway, The MythBusters guys will do a Thermite exhibition. Dolly Parton will judge the drag show! Beer tent opens after the shootin' range closes. Bean hole beans, Barbecue, lots o' veggitarian fixins. The finale bonfire will be visible ftom space.
For the cleanup, you'll be able to bid on an hour ride on a vintage D-8 Cat on biodiesel, pilin' rubble and crushin' junk cars.
Daveparts will have it grumblin' along like a happy dinosaur. There are plenty of scrap metal dudes to do training on practical recycling, and we'll send all the ferrous to the hammermill, to be railroaded to themill to be new again.

I'm getting hungry already.

Before you stop by the Hookah Tent.

Mainly enjoying the much expanded assortment of books--it's a very nice building too!--and I made sure my library card was renewed. Plus I'm already a PFC in the Army--heading to boot camp on May 25th--so am I a militia member too? :evilgrin:

And my Harris Tetter and Food Lion cards! Those must count for some kind of militia bonus right?:evilgrin:

Publix - meh.

Catholic Peace Movement. Better keep a close watch on us unarmed religious left-wingers.

Bugga bugga boo! ... :grouphug: ;)

on the paranoia. :evilgrin:

There were plenty of armed "militia" organizations in the 1960's and early 1970's. I guess the last one anybody heard about was the Symbianese Liberation Army (where hell is Symbia, anyway?). It seems that as left-wing rage petered out, right-wing rage has been growing.

Does that count?

I also like to read a lot and like the opera.

:shrug:

If so, our (my) mission is to poke holes in cardboard targets and eat rediculously spicy food.

We can use your machine guns in the "Food Bank Blast for Cash", or do you want to work the "Salsa Bar of Flaming Death"? Basically, I don't want to hang out with a bunch of mean, narrow, stupid RW nitwits - I just wanna see a whole bunch of shit blow up and throw a hell of a party. Maybe I should go to Burning Man.... But why should those guys have all the fun?

believe that these Christian Militias are all Liberal organizations!!

They're retarded.

Christian militias are hardly liberal! Most Christians today are conservative, and I would bet that Christian 'militias' are because they think Obama is the antichrist and that the end of the world is upon us...

My message to them: GET A LIFE.

:rofl:

I also believe in several conspiracy theories. So...yeah...not really. Unless the bar is set really, really low.

Mad River Glen hand mows their slopes in August - get a few bucks, a huge workout, and a season ticket. There's a vineyard in Lee NH that does a voulunteer harvest, free awesome food & wine...

Does that count? :)

It most certainly does my good sir. Which COD?

On the PS3.

:)

We found the puurfect weapon for our cause.
The Cat Grenade!

We are preparing for Meow-mageddon.
Be afraid!!! Be very afraid.

Nice photo

is the poison gas weapon of tomorrow.....

Nobody showed up, so I went home.

:shrug:

mark

herding cats? :)

I can't help it, I honestly love the guy. :loveya:

He has a beautiful soul and has helped a lot of people. :grouphug:

Between bands, and show us the correct ergonomics to pick up salvage and plant trees. Shania Twain is a tree planter too - the guys will follow her anywhere!
