these people are either a threat because they have become marginalized or
they are marginalized to the point of presenting no real danger to public order and safety.
the right-wing christian radio station was playing one of the Focus on the Family related shows today in which the subject at hand was Americans entering one of the service branches had to sign a paper saying they were willing to fire on "peaceful civilians." Obviously this is bullshit; the only thing close i can imagine is the oath to defend the constitution against "enemies foreign and domestic." and as we know, this is nothing new and from time to time american soldiers have been called on to defend the const. against domestic enemies.
but the point is, these people have gone off the european-style neo-fascist cliff. they were rolling gun control up in the whole thing and basically preparing their listeners for hostile action against the united states government - all in self-defense, of course, to hear them tell it. crazy, crazy shit, i tell you.
i think if the economy continues to grow these types saying such things in broad daylight will marginalize themselves to the point of there being no need for worry. if things start heading in the crappy direction again, these loons will have just enough support to cause trouble. granted it is a trouble i hesitate to define in advance, and it won't be civil war; but it will be trouble.
