America has always been this way to some extent or another and for some reason militia/survivalist/whatever groups seem to become more vocal when a democrat is in office. I remember this same kind of stuff under Clinton, the nightly news focusing on "dangerous" groups running around the country side, drilling for the eventual armed take over. When Bush was elected these groups seemingly disappeared from the mainstream and nobody gave them much thought.
In the end it always seems to be nothing more then posturing, groups of American Nationalists who feel its their birthright and duty to defend their freedoms at the end of a gun. And why not, its always been ingrained in our culture to stand up and fight to the death when we feel we have something to fight for. I never really paid these people any mind and probably never will.
If the group in the above article were to try and take a stand we'll probably just wind up with another "Waco" style standoff that in the end accomplishes very little and will largely be forgotten.
