In it I discussed the fact that some of the right’s talking heads are talking about an armed revolt. At the same time, their claim that President Obama wants to take away people’s guns is helping to fuel the panic buying of firearms. This is a combustible combination.
For proof of that, I looked no further than my email inbox over the last few days. So, I have decided to publish excerpts from some of those e-mails. Crazy stuff methinks.
From Kurt and Cheryl:
............“Well Mr. BLOW, the revolution is on, America has been awakened from it’s induced coma and is coming to take back that which belongs to her.”.....
From SamAdams1776:
........“I serve in the military. I am TELLING you will will NEVER obey any of the 10 orders you will find at oath-keepers.blogspot.com. Further, we who serve, and that includes the police adn officers and enlisted are forming small groups to actively and with force if necessary, oppose any attemps to impose those 10 unconstitutional orders. And if there IS a revolution, and they serve the Constitution, they will find a friend in us–and military weapons—for to such do we have access.”......
From Dave in Dallas:
.........“And down here in Dallas, I don’t have any pitchforks. But I have begun acquiring a few pistols, and in a somewhat longer term I FULLY expect to be called upon to use them, not least when Uncle Barack kicks down my door to take them from me.”....
From CCR:
...........“You are right about one thing; people should be afraid of what the right-wingers are planning. Because they’re fed up, and they don’t see a way out. Two years is far too long to wait to get Obama out of office.”....
From David in Georgia:
........“If this system cannot survive this current upset, someone WILL come looking for the likes of you and your friends to “chat” about your involvement in this debacle! So, don’t worry much about us and our friends who see a catastrophe coming, just worry about the clean up crew AFTER the storm has passed!” ..........
From Ben in Decatur, Ga.:
........“We are buying more guns and ammo because the fall of our republic seems to be imminent and if it does fall and social order goes to [expletive] we will be prepared to defend our homes and what belongs to us until we get organized to reimpose the original ideals of this country in our “respective” neighborhoods. I’m not talking about the whole country, I’m just paying attention to my Oakhurst neighborhood in Decatur, GA. and I’m not alone.
“I used to be an Airborne Ranger with the 1st Ranger Battalion. One of the SOCOM family members that includes the Green Berets, Marine Recon and the SEALS. Men like us aren’t going to just let things fall down around us without fighting; so knowing that and understanding our mindset you should get an idea that any scenario unfolding like Katrina is not going to be tolerated.
“Even now, some of us are planning on how we will partition our neighborhoods and set up check points to guard against criminals if the cops run off and leave us on our own.
“Also, there will be a new and summary justice system to deal with violent criminals as soon as they are caught.
“Take that to mean whatever you think.”.....
In my column I wrote of this far right group: “They’re apocalyptic. They feel isolated, angry, betrayed and besieged.” Confirmed.
