Of course, I don't endorse violence based on hate, race, creed, etc., but it is nice to know there are so many people, in such close proximity that are willing to go against the grain. Maybe there is hope for the country still.

I was doing a little poking around in the internet and found this gem, to follow. It is a list compiled of Patriot groups in the United States. The ones marked with asterics are militias. Anyhow this was recently released by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It is one of those so called civil rights groups that would want to make these groups sound like they are anti-government or whatever, but I think the truth speaks for itself.
Anyways it reminds me of a quote, but I don't remember it exactly or who said it so feel free to help me out. But it went something like, if the people stand up for freedom and make themselves heard, they might be surprised to learn how many of them there actually are. So thanks to the SPLC for doing the homework for us, and coming up with this wonderful gem.
Anyways heres a quote from the web page.
The Southern Poverty Law Center identified 1274 anti-government “Patriot” groups that were active in 2011. Of these groups, 334 were militias, marked with an asterisk, and the remainder includes “common-law” courts, publishers, ministries and citizens’ groups.
Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the “New World Order,” engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist.
The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law enforcement sources and news reports. Groups are identified by the city, county or region where they are located.
Anyways don't stop reading there. Following below lists every state and every known militia and patriot group within that state.

Congress has a 9% approval rate. That basically means 9/10 Americans are dissatisfied with how it is running (and ruining) things. Perhaps there wouldn't be so much condemnation towards the government if it didn't suck so badly...

right...that's the ONLY reason...i guess having assault weapons, cases of ammo, body armor, and running military field training exercises all the while talking about "taking back our government" would have anything to do with it.
It must never be forgotten...that the liberties of the people are not so safe under the gracious manner of government as by the limitation of power.
To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.
