Militia seizes Federal building

Um, No.
Remember Ruby Ridge? Waco?
The Feds are not going to engage in a firefight with armed civilians. Not now. Not in this climate, and with good reason.
I didn't like the way the Bundy clan got off (IMO), but I agreed with how the government handled it. For now, the same course of action is the smart play.

 

We need a plan to degrade, and ultimately defeat this militia.

But, I do not want to see boots on the ground in anything other than an advisory role.

And, it's important to remember that most militia members are patriotic Americans. Militia members have fought and died for our country. Hopefully Tom Brokaw can do a piece on this.

 

We'll never solve this problem until our president can say radical white terrorists out loud.

 

Direct your ire at whoever passed the law that required the use of anti-terrorism laws in this case. And, regardless, an armed response and invasion of Federal property isn't the answer.

 

Not to go all YF, but...

Peaceful! Willing to kill to hold the federal building they seized unlawfully, but peaceful!

Militia Members Occupy US Building in Oregon After Protest

In fairness, they weren't playing with a toy in a public park.

 

Clinton!

Drink!

 

LOL. The left still hates Reagan for launching his political career by "targeting UC Berkeley's student peace activists, professors, and, to a great extent, the University of California itself. "

Ronald Reagan launched his political career in 1966 by targeting UC Berkeley's student peace activists, professors, and, to a great extent, the University of California itself. In his successful campaign for governor of California, his first elective office, he attacked the Berkeley campus, cementing what would remain a turbulent relationship between Reagan and California's leading institution for public higher education.

Ronald Reagan launched political career using the Berkeley campus as a political target

They hate him more because he did forcefully eject the hippies from the People's Park:

Let's see if anyone here shows any ideological consistency.

 

So, when were the hostages going to have been released absent Reagan's summer 1980 deal with the Iranians?

You say they got "another 200 days in captivity". Did I miss the part of your theory where they were about to be released?

 

Can the occupation of an unoccupied bird sanctuary really be described as an "invasion"?

 

Shut off the power and water. Blockade them completely. Do not give them the firefight they want.

Gets cold up there this time of year.

 

Anyone who owns more than a gun or two is a dangerous weirdo.
