USA Militia Groups

Radical anti-government "patriot" groups and militias, galvanized against gun control, will continue to grow even as the number of groups operating in the USA reached an all-time high in 2012, a report Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center finds.

The center tracked 1,360 radical militias and anti-government groups in 2012, an eightfold increase over 2008, when it recorded 149 such groups. The explosive growth began four years ago, sparked by the election of President Obama and anger about the poor economy, the center says. That growth is likely to continue as the groups recruit more members with a pro-gun message, the center's senior fellow Mark Potok said.

Do these people really think that they can win an armed conflict against the USA?

Do you think those people "really think" at all?

They're mostly a bunch of average reactionaries who fall in behind a few radical leaders of one stripe or another, whether white supremacists, Constitutional 'patriots', or religious doomsayers.

The common trait they all have? They invariably believe God is on their side.

Gee, I wonder why that is?
