“Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders”
Hmmmmm, what set backs might that be? The Tea Party movement has not been around all that long. It looks to me that it is the dimoKKKRAT party that has had the setbacks.
State Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, a Republican candidate for governor who has appealed for tea party support, said supporters of a state militia have talked to him, and that he believes the citizen unit would be authorized under the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
The founding fathers “were not referring to a turkey shoot or a quail hunt. They really weren’t even talking about us having the ability to protect ourselves against each other,” Brogdon said. “The Second Amendment deals directly with the right of an individual to keep and bear arms to protect themselves from an overreaching federal government.”
Another lawmaker, state Rep. Charles Key, R-Oklahoma City, said he believes there’s a good chance of introducing legislation for a state-authorized militia next year.
I think they are probably frustrated by the same thing we all are: a gargantuan entitlement program that benfits the few at the overwhelming expense of the many, that was forced upon Americans against their will literally in the dead of night through a record level of bribes, kickbacks, and backroom deals.
