Eldorado, Texas is the home to dissident, polygamous Mormons, hundreds or more of them, who live in a rather large compound. Their leader sometimes kicks 14-year old boys out, ordering their parents to abandon them on the side of the road.

In other militia news, Eric Rudolph got manna from heaven in the form of a plea offer that spares him the death penalty. I guess the death penalty is for terrorists who don't invoke Christianity as their motive.

Some of the militia goals have become politically mainstream. The rise of a bullying, politically powerful Christian movement has also provided a place for many of them, as has the "war on terror", and specifically the "patriotic response".
