The Oklahoma Militia???

In this week's WTF moment, I see that the "sovereign state" (an oxymoron since the Civil War) state of Oklahoma has now proposed that it establish its own "militia" to fight back against the scourge of creeping Communo-Fascisto-Socialisto-Obamanationo-Federalism.

At the risk of repeating myself, What the Fuck???

Longtime readers of this blog know that I grew up in rural Oklahoma, and that it was a different state back then. But, it being the Bible Belt and all, it didn't take for the Rethugs to capitalize on the nascent knee-jerk conservatism coupled with a not-so-sub-rosa inherent racism among the newly-disaffected white majority (see Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Southern Strategy) so I tend to watch for stories about my "home" state.

It used to be that I really wouldn't be surprised by anything coming out of that place.  I mean really, Tom Coburn? James Inhofe? Anti-gay-rights-political bigot politician Sally Kern? The "Oklahoma Version" of the Ten Commandments?

But doesn't this kind of go beyond the pale? States already have militias. They are called The National Guard and they are under the control of the governor of each state in which they exist. Which is all of them.
So what is really going on here?

Two words: Tea Baggers Party. These fuckers are getting so much traction in the trailer-park states that they now feel that they are capable of forming their own private militia.

In Oklahoma, for crissakes, which is coming up on the 15th anniversary of the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City by a home-grown "militia" type.

What better way to honor the 168 lives that were snuffed out -- including 19 children under the age of six! -- than forming a home-grown militia with the idea of "resisting" the encroachment of that horrible Federalism.

Jesus, just fucking GROW UP, you bunch of Confederate-army-wannabes. You are an embarrassment to the rest of society, i.e., the civilized part.

I can just picture this bunch of two-toothed gene-pool-recessive IQ-stifled emotionally-stunted congenital syphlitics trying to gas up their militia vehicles (i.e., beater pickups still not paid for) with traditional Oklahoma credit cards.

Try not to inhale too much, fellas. You're already brain damaged...
