Do you like Ron Paul or oppose abortion? You may be a member of a militia, according to a new report by a government information collection agency. If you're an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group.
That's according to "The Modern Militia Movement," a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities.
MIAC is one of 58 so-called "fusion centers" nationwide that were created by the Department of Homeland Security, in part, to collect local intelligence that authorities can use to combat terrorism and related criminal activities. More than $254 million from fiscal years 2004-2007 went to state and local governments to support the fusion centers, according to the DHS Web site.

And still the vast majority of sheeple out there do not see the government as a part of a conspiracy called the New World Order. And that entity wouldn't blink before eliminating third world poor or American middle class. Think about that.

The commies don’t need to invade, they are already living in the White House or working in Congress. We are so in trouble now.

I think that it's beneficial to us that they are so open in their efforts to identify "subversives." We have a distinct advantage in knowing that they are gathering intelligence on Patriots. That advantage can likely be fashioned into "counter-intelligence."
A question comes to mind here, as well. Are not the military and the police forces of this nation made up of ordinary citizens like you and me? Except for brief periods of attempting to restore order who, in the end, do you believe that they would largely identify with? Would it be the likes of Janet Napolitano or would it be the average God fearing, law abiding citizen?

The same reason every other major enemy weve had, decided that an invasion wasnt wise. I'm not sure that will work this time. Please keep in mind that the socialists don't have enough fingers to get past 10.

Thank you George Bush and a "Republican" congress for enacting powers ripe for abuse by the left. These idiots can't figure out how to let the American people solve the problem of terrorism so they handcuff our action, fail at their primary task, and then deem us to be the problem.

How about we just keep our arms loaded and have the will to use them. No one is sending me to a re-education camp. I will die fighting before that happens. Contrary to popular belief, some things are worse than death.

or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party I wonder if the New Black Panther Party would count?
