I prefer my post-apocalyptic SHTF fiction from Jerry D. Young. He does it right.

Just read the entire article. It gives me hope for our country. Kinda makes me want to join up with or create something like it where I live.

For a product excreted by Time magazine, it was pretty even handed.

I'm just glad there are no well-armed black or hispanic groups in America.

As asked in the story: Who are the redcoats?

Simple.

The “redcoats” are those enemies who would try to bend the state of Ohio to their will. But isn’t it funny how this “secret” militia happens to bear the name of its home state. Not much of a secret, is it?

Here’s a quick lesson for any reporter from Time or other leftist “big media” organization. (Real reporters do their homework and should know better, so they’re excused.) —

A “militia” is an army made up of citizens and they have loyalty to the state that is their home. (Just for fun, try actually reading the Second Amendment.)

A “private army” or a “secret commando team” or a “mercenary squad” or “trained assassins” or “guns for hire” would NOT be a militia and should not be confused with a militia. Got that? Let’s recap.

A “militia” is the good guys, ready to defend their homes if (God forbid) it becomes necessary. They’re not a problem, especially since they’re my neighbors.

People with guns are just people with guns. They’re not a problem (guns are legal, remember?) unless they have evil intent. Otherwise, ignore them.

Now, take your reporter’s notebook and go sit alongside a well-worn trail near the Mexico-Arizona border, then count how many people walk past you. If any of those people commit evil upon you, then you need the Arizona militia to bail you out because the feds won’t do it. But you’ve just insulted ALL militia members everywhere so maybe you won’t get any assistance after all. Too bad.

Are the Militias supposed to think that Obama is a Muslim or a puppet of Jews? Are they or the author so insane to believe both?

Also, what about the Leftist militias?

Are we to believe SEIU and other Leftist organizations like the Communist Party USA don’t have armed groups within their establishments?

Hmmm? Red Guards?

This would make an interesting article.

The lamestream media seems to be a kind of unarmed extremist militia. I might be able to name a few more...state-run school administrations, for example.
