Most of the news this morning is focused on Michigan and the F.B.I. raids on the Hutaree militia. So, yes, I had to do it…I visited the Hutaree website. Besides being a very weird and dangerous looking website, a lack of common education was evident as well. I know it's not a popular idea, but I see the proliferation of these militia and 'end times' groups as hard evidence that we have a failing education system. Seriously failing! And it has been for years, as these people, the Hutaree and others like them, were raised by parents with the same failed education. And it's happening to the children of these group members. It's not just a Michigan problem, it's everywhere and we will see a proliferation of these groups in the near future as more and more uneducated young men discover that there are no jobs for them. Danger? It's a young man, age 16 to 28, with no job, no family and no prospects of obtaining them. The 'militia' groups are looking for these young men and we can only watch it happening. We failed.

Did you look at their public forum? Some choice entries:
ReplyDelete"didn't you guys get a clue when the enemy started shrieking about "violence" after the Death Bill vote? Watch for a federal building to fall next, courtesy of your local ATF. This is how commies work."

Good Lord!! It has started!! The government is raiding militia groups. Well, it's now time to read that new book just out about a small town in America that stands up to federal tyranny & end up starting the 2nd American Revolution. It's a must read right now. I recommend it cause there is more to come! It's just starting.

And then my favorite:

No comment needed.
It's amazing how these people think that a quick scan through the Constitution makes one an expert on it.
Sad. And because we have failed at education, these people and their delusions are now our problem. Yes, I know that there will always be that 1% that cannot be salvaged and they will cause all sorts of harm, but darn it!...we need to try harder to educate all. And we can't do it with idiotic things like No Child Left Behind. I wonder how many are left behind now, after that failed experiment? It takes money to educate and this nation and its citizens aren't prepared to spend it.
