Photos show border militias moving across Texas - Houston Chronicle
And this is what it comes to. The fedgov will not do as they are mandated and the American people have to stand to protect our sovereignty. At the moment is Texas...already I know some in Arizona who have been doing this for years. We are reaching a tipping point.
Well regulated... into set teams, not shooting willy-nilly or making unauthorized raids into a foreign country... check.
Security... keeping out invaders and potential terrorists... Check
Militia... in the name... Check.
Free State... well, there IS some debate on this one since the Obamaist Manifesto, but as it's Texas... and I can come and go as I please as a resident... Check.
People keeping and bearing arms, as is their right... Check.
from the Houston Chronicle, with photos by the San Antonio Express news... strangely also protected under the Constitution...
"The U.S. Customs and Border Protection earlier this month strongly rebuked the group's presence on the border but did not return multiple requests for comment regarding the photo."
"More than 30 photos obtained by the San Antonio Express-News show dozens of members carrying semi-automatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear, providing a first glimpse of the militias."
(To note - There is exactly, by my count, *one* person wearing a mask.)
This is the message:
You are hereby commanded, under the authority of the Constitution of these United States, under the oath you swore, to CEASE and DESIST your Infringement on these American citizens.
Any questions, please refer to the following excerpt from the aforementioned document:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Are we clear? ARE WE CLEAR??!!??
(This c^@p makes me want to go all Ragnar on their butts...)
To hell with going out with a whimper. I say we go down swinging.

"One legislator accused me of having a nineteenth-century attitude on law and order. That is a totally false charge. I have an eighteenth-century attitude. That is when the Founding Fathers made it clear that the safety of law-abiding citizens should be one of the government's primary concerns."
I am not a chess player, but I am told that this is a maxim amongst those who are. We can refrain from action forever because we fear that our deeds will be used against our philosophy. But there will never be an end to the 'crises' that can potentially be manufactured: the stock market, terrorist attack, disaster (as mentioned by edweaver below). If we let the threat of these crises rule our deeds then we are forever impotently frozen in place.
It is true, $5Au, that this might be a trigger cause (and might be scripted as such by people who want to suppress freedom), but the American people do not have to follow the script. For instance: What if Texans supported the militia even after a manufactured crises were publicized? It could then be a rallying point that could turn public opinion.
I do not think that we can afford to let our actions be determined by fear of being used.

We should have plans for those things before they happen, so we don't go off and do something stupid in a panic.
"Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it."
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

I don't think the majority would reject the idea of planning ahead. The problem is there's no impetus to do it before the crisis materializes. There is an incentive for people with unpopular ideas to wait for a crisis to promote them.
Perhaps, but crises come on their own eventually, and the people with the agenda aren't able to pull it off without getting caught. We have a tendency to want to associate big effects with big causes, i.e. since Bush or Obama used a crisis to push through something big, maybe they orchestrated it. I think they almost never do. They just don't let a good crisis go to waste.
I'd say that there are plenty of man-made crises that then spur on more snowballing fixes.
