I knew that idiot Ron Paul was a no good piece of shit. According to a study, those with Ron Paul bumper stickers are most likely to be parts of militias. Apparently, the US has finally targeted somebody other than the leftists! Seriously though, if they're going to target these folks who are really not far from the mainstream(Ron Paul came in 2nd in Nevada Primary), then what's to say they won't go after somebody like the Greens next and then anybody who even disagrees with the state on issues?
Oh wait, they already have been going after these folks. Dave Zirin on a TV show a few weeks ago talked about how he and his friends were targeted for being part of a anti-death penalty group. Possibly the most mainstream of issues you can get and they were targeted. This all boils down to the state wanting full control over opinion. They can't just fire on people with thugs anymore, they need covert action like this to make you afraid of spreading your political beliefs, even if they are not all that radical. We used to bitch about the Soviets for doing this and really we were never any different from them in this respect. We have always put down dissent and this study on militia members is only a remainder of our long history of dissent bashing.

Look at Ron Paul's views and you'll see a correlation between radical right-wing militias and his ideology (or perceived ideology). Radical right-wing militias and the Christian Identity movement for some reason think there is a grand conspiracy for the NWO and are rabidly isolationist. I'm not saying that all people with Ron Paul bumper stickers are in militias (if that were the case that would mean all of these libertarian Austinites are in militias. Or they could just be Alex Jones listeners).
ReplyDeleteThis sounds weird, but I find it interesting that the government is going after the right-wing again. For a while the government was preoccupied with religious, Islamic terrorism when in the past 10-15 years before 9/11 the image of a terrorist was a right-wing white male.
