Hi,
I think the organization has become a reality with the 9-11 project, tea parties etc. I am a member of two shooting clubs and I can tell you that many, many folks are well prepared. I know not one who wants to go on offense but when the brown shirts or acorn decide to come down the street to do bad things they will be very, very surprised.
Were we to form a militia we would be playing right into the hands of the left. At the same time, should another event occur like Katrina where the government cannot protect us, my guess is things will come together quite quickly. There will be certain areas of the country where the local sheriff will deputize a whole bunch of folks in a hurry.
Heard a lady call in on Rush and she was talking about the meeting she recently attended. The conservatives were polite, unaggressive etc. yet the acorn folks were screaming in their faces almost as if they wanted to incite a confrontation. Good news is that it did not work at all. If confrontation is what they want they will have to escalate things further and then the court of public opinion will more than likely be in favor of those who defended themselves. I really suspect that those in acorn who are being paid $10/hour or so will decide that it is not so much fun when folks fight back and they get hurt. Right now I would caution folks to be very discreetly prepared in their own right. We do not need to give the libs and media anything to help them prove their point that we are the radicals.
