I am very encouraged by all the positive responses from this group. Long live the Republic. I just cant imagine losing this country to some other form of government like communism or socialism. The occupy movement is all of that. They are calling for an end to our country as we know it. We have many enemies that is for sure. Well my line in the sand is our constitution. That is the side our group will take. W e will defend it to the last man if necessary. KF
America does have alot of enemies and the sad thing is that some of them are her own citizens. What she Stands for is being attacked around the world and from within her own borders. The thing that haunts me is, what happen even growing up as a kid before I even knew what it ment to be an American I was proud to be an American. Our nation was the good guy's and every one else wanted to be us, the people worked and thrived. If you went any where in the US and made anti- America comments somone would give you a a$$ kicking. You didn't insult our country, you didn't disrespect the flag and weather like it or not you respected the elder's. A mans rights were the one thing no one could take away from you and if they tried you had a fight. The Civilian Milita, Neighborhood watch or hell just neighbors could and would band together to stop a threat to the way of life of civilians and now if you want to be part of a group to protect your rights, your country, your way of life, your family our own goverment wants to classify you and the group as domestic terrorist. When you look the Klan, the NAACP, The New Black Panthers, The Muslim Nation, are all given rights to form groups speak out against how they feel they were wronged. It would take a blindman not to see the New Black Panther and the Muslim Nation are openly domestic terrorist. the NAACP supports acts done by the Panthers. Yet we as hard working productive citizens are not given the same rights as these groups. Well all I can say is Im still Proud to be a free American, I love my country and her flag and as for the goverment who tries to take my rights away and the young none working tree hugging scum of the earth that want to bash the country that has given them the right to do so without being beheaded they all can kiss my redneck, country boy,goverment hating A$$. Any group that stands to protect our God given rights and our country, our way of life, to prevent forgein or domestic tresspasses against the people I would stand beside and consider them brothers in-arms
I lived in East Tennessee for 8 years. I used to go to the yearly KSM events at CP's place. I was an active member of MET and was a defacto member of the 'state' militia since TN's constitution said that all able-bodied men between 18 and 65 were active. I fully support constitutional militias.
This was the one MET formed under: Acts of the state of tennessee ... - Google Books And the section on who the TN Militia is comprised of: Tennessee session laws - Tennessee - Google Books
