Oregon Militiamen Receive Fitting Nickname: 'YallQaeda'

49. Denying militia groups the confrontation they crave

is the better policy. Conservative militia groups are counting on backlash when they finally get the government to kill a few of them. Nothing worked better for them than Ruby Ridge and Waco. They want nothing more than to provoke a massive response so they can claim to be persecuted.

Remember at the Bundy Ranch, when they bragged they were preparing to put the women (???) in front to make sure they got shot first? That's what they want. Dead cowboys, standing up for their warped interpretation of the Constitution. Which is why that's the last thing we need to give them.

But somehow we don't understand the concept of backlash when it comes to Muslims. Trump's out there suggesting we assassinate whole families, and Bush wants a "Christianity test" for refugees. Islamic extremists couldn't ask for better propaganda to attract people to their cause.

Every single militia member who took part in "seizing" Fort Giftshop needs to go to prison, as do all the ones who aimed rifles at BLM agents on the Bundy Ranch. But there's no need to wipe them out while they're just freezing their camouflaged butts off and issuing veiled threats on Facebook.
