1) There's plenty to dislike about our govt. (traditional/constitutional conservative)
2)There's nothing wrong with being white or any other color. (almost all conservatives).
3)The militia is everyone. (all US citizens and legal aliens).

The good people above resent being labled racist!

Section 311 of US Code Title 10, entitled, "Militia: composition and classes" in its entirety:

"(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are --

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."

Lot of information there that I didn't need.

You and I both know the type of person the media is describing when they use the words "white racist militia-type". The type exists, and we both probably have the same image in our heads when we hear them say it. So don't pretend the argument is about the definitions. He exists true to stereotype, and he pops up on our own freaky fringe once in a while. (He now doesn't appear to have anything to do with this case, so we are now speaking in a rhetorical sense)

My argument up there at 30 should have been that we need to loudly disown those like him, not feel collectively worried about one of him getting caught and making us look bad. Because he is just simply not us.

Better?
