So, since Blackwater is allowed to exist |
|
Is there any reason we couldn't start "The Independent Army of the Constitution" as a security company/private army? We could offer security services to Democratic candidates and Congress critters. Also we could train and assemble our own arsenal of weaponry just like good ole BW has. Not for any revolutionary purposes of course, unless we're pushed to that of course. Fuck you Agent Mike.

1. Well funding it could present a problem |
|
You have to have enough people who believe we need one and so far it appears to me most people are ingoring the reality of this issue .

10. From what I have heard , liberals with money won't |
|
even invest in liberal radio shows so they are not likely to invest in this . I suppose we are left to throw bumper stickers at them since that's about all I have here . Or smelly socks .

11. Liberals with money not spending it to back their ideals is sad |
|
If I won the megamillions tomorrow I'd spend every cent I could spare to save this country.

All you have to do is get the supplies and train.

7. Ah, but a nice corporate structure like Blackwater |
|
would hopefully insure that we don't get Wacoed.
Yes I know Koresh was a wacko, just an example.

8. I like it! How 'bout a non-profit? |
|
You see, volunteering for corporations just doesn't feel right, and this sounds like the kind of quality organization I could see myself donating volunteer time to.

9. I don't know how many non-profits |
|
they allow to have automatic weapons and armored vehicles though. Might be a legal problem. A good militia.....er security company needs heavy weapons too.

12. I don't see the basis for denying weapons to a company based on its financial structure. |
|
I mean, a company can have weapons, or it can't, as I see it. I'd like to know any arguments to the contrary. Or even what the legal basis of Blackwater is.
