I came across this article by accident, on msn.com about the militia movement (domestic terrorists) becoming more prevalent since the election of President Obama.

I read this article with a bit of apprehension. I knew something of the sort would happen, especially due to the Presidents race. There is a remark in the article where the main person, Olson, who the article is based on, states that it is not racial for him. Maybe it is not, however, the ones that have developed so quickly in the south – I am sure it is racial for them. White supremacists and all that running rampant in the southern states it was bound to happen.

It is scary to me. I do not have any guns. My husband and our son have them, and they are in our home. However, I do not ever, even in target practice, shoot them. What if these bizarre right wing militia freaks decide to make war with our government? All hell breaks loose, and people are shooting people without even knowing why. I understand that small-minded people are afraid of a democracy; however, President Obama is not a king. He does not and he cannot rule without the aide of all of the branches of government, including our local governments. There is no one person who has complete control of our nation.

These people really scare me. I have seen many shows on the Discovery Channel on these hate groups that think they have to kill people to make there opinion known. I have always been of the opinion that there should be a hate group against all hate groups. These guys are simple minded and afraid of change.

I am not, and never will be a racist. I think it is great that we have elected an African-American President. To be alive for history in the making, the stories we will have for our children’s children, it just amazes me. Yes, he is making some huge mistakes, but the only way to not make mistakes is to not do anything. Moreover, he is trying to correct the mistakes of the administration that came before him. Unprecedented I believe is the correct word to use here. These problems in our nation are unprecedented; therefore, no one really knows what will and will not work. At this point, it is trial and error.

I wish that these militia groups were more open-minded (and didn’t carry machine guns). They are going to hurt some one, whether intentionally or not, and then the war will start. I see no good coming from these freaks. I now wish I had not read the article. I will worry more now that I did before, because my fears have been confirmed.
