Only Indicted Militia Member With Party Affiliation Is... a Democrat
— Ace

But I was assured that political violence and fascist impulses were a phenomenon confined almost entirely to the right?

Most of the indicted militia members accused of being anti-government extremists have active voting records, a check with area voter registration offices showed yesterday.
One is a registered Democrat, and the party affiliations of the rest could not be determined.
Jacob J. Ward, 33, of Huron, Ohio, voted as a Democrat in the 2004 and 2008 primary elections, and in 10 other elections since 2000. Voters' political affiliations in Ohio are determined by which party's ballot they request during even-year primary elections.

10 News that crazy militia guy is a Democrat is not relevant.

However, we are sure that someone once had someone tell them that said crazy militia guy once walked into a store that had Rush Limbaugh/ Glenn Beck on the radio.

Don't worry, Obama. As always, we've got your back.

At this very moment we're investigating a claim that one of the militia members has a neighbor who works with a guy whos brother attended a Tea Party. The narrative shall be upheld.

Ok, morons. I told my kids (mostly to get them out of the house) that I would drive them to the national zoo, drop them off, and pick them back up when they called. The oldest is 18 so this sounded ok. Normally this is a 15 min drive. Since I had been there last, they had not only completely changed the auto entrances, they eliminated all signage for vehicles and closed the most used one. One hour and 15 minutes later after circling the zoo, which we could see but not get near, I found the major street that has the metro entrance on it. The gate was barred by cops only letting in busses. I booted them from the car and spent the next 2 hours getting home. They will have to take the hour and 1/2 metro back to virginia.

The oldest suggested that I was going to blame this on Obama. You bet your sweet ass. They (he) is trying to make driving too difficult and is going to force you to take public transportation with the attendant hours of time suck so that they can keep auto traffic away. Down on constitution there were cops enforcing the pedestrian crossings so that I had to sit through 6 light changes to get through one light behind a bus which was finally let through.

I hope all these dems like walkin' because that's what they are going to do --forever-- hope they enjoy it when they are 80 if they live that long with obama care.

In other news today a friends brothers cousins uncles friends wife was at the tea party rally and overheard someone call someone a bad name. How President Obama can lead with vitriol like this is a testament to his courage.

In other news good news on the job market. We had the most gains in new jobs in months.

Of course we still lost more than we gained and unemployment is still at 9.7% and this is after all the temporary census jobs were reported.

71 I live in Michigan. When the raid first happened the reason given was that the group threatened CAIR. Then the excuse was they were making and selling pipe bombs. The threat to kill a policeman was maybe the 6th reason given. The whole story is rather fishy, but the CAIR reason seems the most plausible, even though none of the group seems capable of putting together any kind of threat to anyone-except themselves.

Owing to nectars it relaxes the muscles, removes tension and activates painful area. The area gets stronger with the complete access of blood to the cells and tissue. As immune system becomes active, so then a healthy structure is composed.
