This is a somewhat better take on the same subject posted here earlier today. Nice to see that even the Brits have to throw in that "militia" BS. At least the author sounds almost sympathetic to the actual residents of the county. Flathead and Lincoln counties have been hit really hard by Earth First and the other Green terrorists - and they don't even live there. Sanctimonious a$$holes.

What those Greenies really need is to spend some time backcountry there with those grizzly bears that they want to return in such large numbers. Once a large group of these idiots becomes bear bait, they will change their minds.

That was really a stupid stunt.

There's nothing the left does better than reverse tables and paint their opposition with the symbols and imagery used against them.

Now, this idiotic event has invoked the imagery of Nazism, book burnings, and KKK-styled cross burnings all in one fell swoop.

That may have been the intent, but it will backfire.

How?

The environmental movement has become dominated by green fascists. If you understand what fascism truly is, you'll have a tough time disagreeing.

How would you have these people fight back? Writing a letter to the local Montana newspaper?

"That may have been the intent, but it will backfire."

How would you propose to dramatize the problem?

One is entitled to suspect that signing petitions and casting votes for certain politicians may not be enough...

I'm not proposing a "militia solution", mind you. But dramatic action of some sort is required. The Klamath Basin farmers weren't getting anywhere in their case until they forced open the headgates, set up a permanent camp and laid a pipeline...

From being the fourth wealthiest state per capita in the US in the 1960s, Montana is now the poorest. In the past decade around 250 lumber mills have closed.

Says it all

Did Montana vote for Bill Clinton in '96? Are both of their senators Republican? What about their representative? I honestly don't remember the answers to these questions. While I agree that they have a right to be angry, they also need to work hard to defeat Democrats of every kind in every race. Nothing negative will come of their burning a large green swastika. No one likes swastikas, so burning one won't create resentment. Furthermore, the leftists aren't likely to publish this event because doing so might open the public's eyes to what is happening. Rather than writing letters to their local papers, they need to be writing them to national outlets.

The State of Montana should take over the Federal lands and get them out.

There is legislation in the US House HR2829 (And Senate S1912, I think) that is an attempt to take some of the sting out of the bite of the ESA, one out of many weapons used in the defoilage of the Tree of Liberty. It's unfortunate that the Tree of Liberty does not garner the same kind of devotion where defenders fall from the tree and lose their lives doing so. I think we should contact our Congress-persons to support this legislation that would pull some of the power of the ESA.

Clinton did not carry Montana in '92 or '96. We have one Republican senator, Conrad Burns, and one unspeakably bad Democrat senator, Max Baucus. Baucus is up for re-election this year, but will be tough to beat. He is in many ways similar to Clinton - campaigns as a conservative/moderate, votes as liberal as he can get away with. Our one representative is a Republican.

Except in Missoula (university town) and Butte (old union mining town) the greens and the reinvented radical environmentalist Forest Service are despised.

So finally, there is a natural predator for the environmentalist movement. I have been waiting years for this moment. For years, it was just the federal government verus the green wackos, and now...its real people verus the greens. I would suggest a good start. Where ever you have Greens protecting forests and chaining themselves to trees, send out the boys and cut down 5 of the old growth trees within 200 ft of the idiots. Show them the logic.

Any legislation to take the sting out of the ESA is a dog, and pony show, to make us beilieve something is being done to help us. As long as we have the ESA the greens will keep winning, they get paid a salary to defeat us, we have to make a living, and fight them in our off time. They have more money than we could possibly raise, and they are willing to spend it all on frivolous law suits that they know they can't win, they know we don't have the money to keep fighting them in court.

The only thing that will take the sting out of the invasion of the greens is to bring the ESA up for a vote, in the Senate, and vote to not ratify it again. Until the voters wake up, and fire a bunch of green friendly Senators that is not going to happen.
