Pretty normal dudes who I bet would indeed come to help if there was a disaster.<br /><br />But alas...being who they are means they have to lie in bed with the lunatics.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-83821842263265609962010-03-29T14:59:19.753-05:002010-03-29T14:59:19.753-05:00I still think they are kind of weird, but I have m...I still think they are kind of weird, but I have met a few that are in leadership positions and they seem pretty normal. Most of the rhetoric I hear seems to be focused on preparing for natural disasters and other emergencies, as opposed to hating the government. <br /><br />The Hutaree had contacted the Lenawee County branch of the MM, who are headed by a Muslim, and asked for help in planning a future raid against Muslims living in MI. They don't seem all that bright. Saw what you want about the MM, but they don't seem to want to be associated with religious nuts.<br /><br />I am not interested in joining the MM, but they seem harmless.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-8210597564622596682010-03-29T14:38:26.065-05:002010-03-29T14:38:26.065-05:00considering the MM person they talked to was a Mus...<i>considering the MM person they talked to was a Muslim.

They sound like a nuttier version of the Jonestown crew.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-43789346436217422992010-03-29T11:01:18.198-05:002010-03-29T11:01:18.198-05:00When militias start shooting cops, they will decla...When militias start shooting cops, they will declare war on law enforcement.

And wha...I just can't wrap my head around this! And what a story for Holy Week, when Jesus showed all the world that the answer to violence is NOT more violence!<br /><br />Just this weekend, a meditation from my Order discussed the idea that one of our core principles is the idea that we "sacrifice of ourselves in service of others". In my and our view, that seems to be a central tenet of the Gospel. <br /><br />This militia will never defeat any supposed Anti-Christ by taking up arms, but if they want to defeat evil, then they only have to die to their own wickedness and live in the freedom to serve that Jesus brought to us in the Gospel.<br /><br />Sorry about the sermon, but I just had to, and letting a Friar post..well that will happen from time to time! ;) <br /><br />† Pax ChristiMonk-in-Traininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373661525025912462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-64298979497090153432010-03-29T08:55:21.733-05:002010-03-29T08:55:21.733-05:00You must really be a freak when the nuts at the Mi...<i>You must really be a freak when the nuts at the Michigan Militia say you should hang it up.</i><br /><br />Sad, true and hilarious.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-56265554456345740842010-03-29T08:50:18.564-05:002010-03-29T08:50:18.564-05:00Hutaree was founded to fight the anti-Christ?

Who could that be?<br /><br />There are other reports that the Michigan Militia was working with the government and asked these Hutaree fellows to turn themselves in. You must really be a freak when the nuts at the Michigan Militia say you should hang it up. Maybe the Michigan Militia didn’t want to be associated once again with an Oklahoma City style bombing.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.com
