Primed to fight the government

A fast-growing U.S. movement armed with guns and the Constitution sees a dire threat to liberty

B.J. Soper took aim with his AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and fired a dozen shots at a human silhouette target. Soper’s wife and their 16-year-old daughter practiced drawing pistols. Then Soper helped his 4-year-old daughter, in pink sneakers and a ponytail, work on her marksmanship with a .22-caliber rifle.   Deep in the heart of a vast U.S. military training ground, surrounded by spent shotgun shells and juniper trees blasted to shreds, the Central Oregon Constitutional Guard was conducting its weekly firearms training.......

 

Law enforcement officials call them dangerous, delusional and sometimes violent, and say that their numbers are growing amid a wave of anger at the government that has been gaining strength since 2008, a surge that coincided with the election of the first black U.S. president and a crippling economic recession.......

 

Law enforcement officials and the watchdog groups that track the self-styled “patriot” groups call them anti-government extremists, militias, armed militants or even domestic terrorists. Some opponents of the largely white and rural groups have made fun by calling them “Y’all Qaeda” or “Vanilla ISIS.”.......Shortly after the Bundy ranch confrontation, two of Bundy’s supporters who had been at the ranch, Jerad and Amanda Miller, killed two police officers and a civilian and also died in a Las Vegas shooting rampage. Police said the couple left a note on the body of one the officers they had shot point-blank.

 

It said: “This is the beginning of the revolution.”......To Read More.....

My Take - All revolutions are initially started by those who create the intellectual argument for resistance to those in charge.  But it's the extremist within those ranks (who the intellectuals wouldn't cross the street to talk to, just as Thomas Jefferson could go on unendingly about the glories of the common man but wouldn't speak to on the street because he had nothing in common with them at all) who actually start the revolution, and it was the same in the American Revolution. 

There are only two groups in any human society.  The privileged and the common people.  The privilege only care about maintaining their privileges.  The common people only care about security.  If either of these groups feels threatened as a group - governments fall.  Currently the privileged feel threatened as do the common people.   They may be divided depending on which philosophical side of the street to which they subscribe to - but it's my belief the majority of each group believe we're doomed if we continue down the current path of destruction by an overwhelmingly large, tyrannical and incompetent government. 

The left has dominated mankind to it's detriment for decades and now their works are coming to fruition in all parts of the world.  The EU is doomed, Europe is doomed, and Russia will collapse as will China.  The American economy will take such a massive hit the world as we know it will disappear within ten years, and probably closer to five.  I dread what I see on the horizon!  And it's coming , disabuse yourself of any delusions to the contrary.
