The real reason the rightwing wants all these military weapons is to kill Democrats

They won't be defending the Democrats. Google them.

They sound like another paranoid militia group, and an especially dangerous one at that.

Maybe there's a sinister side to the organization, but it seems like a good idea for military and LEOs to think about orders they would not obey.

I am on different computer so can give you his link. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/03/oath-keepers

Oath Keepers and the Age of Treason
Glenn Beck loves them. Tea Partiers court them. Congressmen listen to them. Meet the fast-growing "patriot" group that's recruiting soldiers to resist the Obama administration.

And, just looking up their "prohibited orders" now, I can't say that sounds very bad:

http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2009/03/03/declaration-of-orders-we-will-not-obey/

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

The .50 round could easily penetrate most forms of body armor and maybe even bulletproof cars.

It's insane that we allow something like this to be sold openly and legally in the United States.

Edited to add: I did a quick search for information on .50 caliber weapons that turned up a number of sites advertising '50 caliber ammunition for sale.'

Was when Huey Newton and others suggested African Americans avail themselves of the availability of guns in this country.

That's why you could have "law and order" Republicans discussing things like banning handguns.

However, since there was no good way to come up with a policy that primarily took guns away from African Americans, it was easier to establish white suburban enclaves where each house could be an armed fortress, and there would be plenty of warning if the wrong sort of people invaded.

the guns. Any other of the big players would be nice as well. They are happy to have all the half-wits on their side for now, but eventually, they have to be afraid they will wise up. Then the ones with guns will be a threat.

Could anyone get a tour of Bain Capitol and be allowed to go in packing? I kind of doubt it.

Start with the Wikipedia article.

Definitely read Paul Krugman's 2011 NY Times article, posted after the Gabby Giffords shooting:




Blogger and journalist David Niewert frequently posts articles on eliminationism on his Orcinus blog. He's also the author of: The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right

While there may be some right wingers who would want to do such things, I don't think there is some elaborate plan or scheme by them to do so, and no I'm not a right winger. I just don't like hyperbole.

If it were the case, and there are 10's of millions of assualt rifles out there, democrates would be extinct. Kind of a dumb statement by the OP.

singing a different tune.

More precisely there are too many Conservative, Rethuglicans, TeaHadists and religious nutters running around with guns, I view my gun ownership as my individual MAD.

IMHO anyone with any concerns about RWers can decide how they want to prepare and prevent RWers from using them, I have made my chioce and I wil be sticking with it.

arming themselves to protect themselves from the threat of black men.
