Oregon Militia Members Are The Real Welfare Queens



The basic foundation of the Republican Party is their belief that the federal government is evil. The terrorists currently occupying a federal building in Oregon are a perfect example of what can happen when US citizens listen to intently to Republican talking points about a corrupt and oppressive government, but that hasn’t stopped the anti-government rhetoric coming from the GOP.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with attorney Howard Nations.

The influence and history of the Mormon church, which was into all this "no Federal government, constitutional shit", especially when they split into monogamous and polygamous sects. The polygamous sects still don't believe in following the Federal government. They believe their God is the only law they need to follow (and they make it up as they go along). They still kill people today for not fitting into their religion. They have a horrible bloody history. And the Bundys are Mormons.

You want a real eye-opener? Read "Under The Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer. I'm reading it right now and it's mind numbing.
