Another look at the Militia...

From the blog "It ain't Hell (but you can see it from here)"

Disclaimer-this is a site for military vets who expose "stolen valor" phonies. Much of the politics are right wing and much of the language-especially the comments-are profane.

"Ryan Payne, one of the leaders from the Bundy stand-off who claimed that he was a Ranger is there. Payne was not a Ranger by any measure of the word, but, I guess militia folks don’t care about veracity."

"Also, Blaine Cooper, the fellow who ditched his Delayed Entry Program enlistment for the Marine Corps is there. He couldn’t find the time to honor his enlistment in the Marines, but he sure can find the money to wear all of the military finery;"

"I can’t shake the feeling that these protests are nothing more than an opportunity for these folks to wear their Ranger Joe purchases in public and to strut around openly carrying their firearms."

I saw a great cartoon when the first Rambo movie came out. The first panel showed Stallone and a bunch of other people sitting at a table and was captioned: "Will the real Vietnam veteran please stand up?"

In the second panel the only one standing was the lone woman at the table.

They sure are acting like it! Part of the fear, fear, fear, hate, ... control everyone's minds and influence their voting.

Okay, #YallQaeda made me happy, but the addition of #YeeHawdists is just the best.

#YallQaeda they believe they are a regulated state milita? They look more like a big ass bear belly hillbilly redneck swingers club.
