9. That is spooky, in the worst kind of way

I haave never knowingly had to work alongside a militia member, but it would make me nervous, that's for damn sure. Militias were a rapidly growing movement prior to the Oklahoma City bombing, and they keep sprouting up again. There was a Republican Congresswoman who virtually was a spokesperson for that movement after Waco Texas. They were begining to come out of the shadows again befor the Gabbie Giffords assasination attempt deflated some of the violence against Government talk. I think they are the modern heirs to the old KKK,though not as exclusively focused on race. But like the KKK I fear that their membership and ideology has infiltrated government, particularly at the local Republican Party and office holder levels, far more extensively than many people realize.
