"Kenai rally a call to resist government 'tyranny' — with guns, if necessary"

This wasn't "tea party" type talk. America is headed for armed, bloody uprising against an oppressive federal government, or at least chaos in the wake of inevitable economic collapse, said speakers at last week's meeting in Kenai of the Second Amendment/Constitutional Task Force. The Redoubt Reporter has an extensive account of the proceedings that featured fiery calls for the restoration of "constitutional governance" and armed resistance if it can't be achieved through political means. About 150 people were present.

It makes me frustrated to no end that I know just about every one of these knuckleheads.

‘Something horrible going on’ — Rally takes government to task"

Buoyed by abundant doughnuts donated by The Moose is Loose bakery in Soldotna and a reunion-esque feel to the gathering of the Second Amendment/Constitutional Task Force in Kenai on Thursday, a follow-up to a similar event held in Soldotna last April, emcee Bob Bird initiated the presentations with a cordial tone.

But not even the stickiest-sweet apple fritter, the a cappella renditions of the national anthem and Alaska Flag Song, led with gusto by Bird, or the occasional moments of levity interjected by the speakers could sugarcoat the overall tenor of the presentations: anger, distrust and frustration with government, and a sense of urgency to prepare to do something potentially drastic about it.

“I know how all of you feel. I know why you’re here. You feel like there’s something horrible going on and you can’t quite put your finger on what it is, but you know it’s there, you feel helpless to stop it and you feel frustrated because the only thing that you can do is beg a tyrant to be a better kind of tyrant,” said Schaeffer Cox, of Fairbanks. Cox is a leader of the Second Amendment Task Force in Alaska and helped form a militia group in Fairbanks, the Alaska Peacemakers Militia.
