The election of President Barack Obama in 2008 triggered an explosion in the number of militias and so-called patriot groups in the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported in its annual tally of such anti-government organizations.
There were 149 militias and patriot groups when Obama took office, compared to more than 1,200 today — an increase of 755 percent, the nonprofit civil rights organization reported.

true story....when we go around and introduce my wife to various people, and she tells them she is from Michigan, as often as not they will ask her “Can you hook me up with the militia?”
There are actually quite a few comments from patriots/conservatives after the story. Which “extremist” group has committed murders, raped, had rampant drug abuse and destruction of property? No, not the TEA Parties. The Occupiers.
Remember to make berms around your bunkers...
As the army says, I am a militia of one.
bttt
he he
A monster lies in wait for me
a stew of pain and misery
but fiercer still in life and limb
the me that lies in wait for him
Give me liberty or I will get up and get it myself.
The MSM ran a bunch of these same kind of stories back in 1995 - 1996 (esp. after the Oklahoma City bombing) and when you know who was running for re-election.
Yea, I posted something earlier about remember a rise in militia involment during the clinton admin. Maybe, it was just the msn?
