Heh, this is Texas we’re talking about. Texas, the home of Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz, and Jade Helm 15. Need I say more?

They cited some Facebook posts from the militia group that said, “we must never let ourselves…be complacent to the schemes of the world elitists” and that Americans must “rid ourselves of tyrannical government.” They argued those quotes show something of a conspiratorial side to the group. How do you respond to that?
That’s not conspiracy. That’s the same words that our Founding Fathers used. That’s the same language that they used.
Yes, that is the language they used before going to war against the oppressive government they were referring to, and forming our own country.

It’s worth noting that Vidor is close to Jasper, scene of the notorious James Byrd murder. In east Texas they have ways of keeping the black population in check that seem to have worked quite well for them for decades. A black President is a twist they weren’t expecting, and now they’re panicking and feeling the need to arm up.

It’s uncanny how all these Bubbas almost always look identical, like clones…pasty, pudgy, doughy white middle aged trailer trash. It’s like there is a mold for them or something.

Are you sure this is Orange County? Sounds like Hazzard County to me. Maybe it’s just a symbiotic relationship. This guy is just a mouthpiece for Boss Hogg. (play theme-song now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxD0PqVlt5Q )
Funny that he would use the words of the Founding Fathers to justify his conspiracy. Weren’t the Founding Fathers conspiring to overthrow the existing government by "Force and Violence:?
A phlebotomist? I guess he would be the one to do the DNA tests cuz, you wouldn’t want no furiners gettin’ in there… like people from Massachusetts, or somewhere like that.
I stand corrected. You’re right - all the way back to 1901 and the oil strike at Spindletop.
"Billy F. Gibbons of the Texas band ZZ Top (and a native of the Golden Triangle) joked the name “Golden Triangle” was chosen “because it sounds much more romantic than ‘Petro-Chemical Wasteland.’”

I love his discussion of posse comitatus concerning the federal government ‘taking over’ Texas and whether a soldier would obey an order to do that.
How about giving some thought on why the Heck the Federal Government would ‘take over’ a State that’s already part of the republic?

My father was gravely wounded from his service in the United States military.
But his service sacrifices pale beside those of others, in military services in different times and places…
Like those of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the U.S. Civil War
Like those of the trench-dwellers of the Western Front, 1914-1918
Like those of the millions of Chinese overrun by Japan in WWII
Like those of the AMERICAN military personnel in the Bataan Death March
Like those of the United States Marines at Peleliu, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Okinawa
Like those of the Russians on the Eastern Front in WWII (and their German opponents)
Like those of Russian POWs in WWII…[there WILL be NO bull***t "comedy about POW life for this group. EVER]
Like those of countless other real combat military experiences.
It is truly amazing what “military service” and “being armed and ready” means to certain people…
And to certain others.

Texas. It’s like a whole other country!
A whole other screwed up, bass-ackward, gun-humping, Somalia-emulating country.

Good idea. But they’d still need the guns in their logo.

It would be an intelligence boon if we had the muster rolls and org charts for the Sunni militias in Anbar province.

What a phucking joke this clown Smith is! He’s not qualified to be a doorman on a Porto-Potty
Smith has no military service what-so-ever! Everything he knows about the military came from Alex Jones, Hannity and Ted Cruz!

They are so dumb they can’t do a word search on the Constitution and look for other mentions of “militia”.

When he talks, he sucks coherence out of the air and destroys it.
Closest I could come to deciphering him is this:
“Code 431. I’m not a conspiracist, but Texas needs militias like mine in case the conspiracists are right, plus we have a cool patch. Code 431.”

Oh, goody. Every county can have its own warlord and we can be just like the middle east, parts of Africa, and all those places where anarchy and an abundance of small arms determine who is right and who is wrong. I wonder if the Texas “biker gangs” are “cowering in fear”? Recent events might dispute that theory…

Every 2 years Hawaii has Rim-pac exercises with many of the other nations surrounding the Pacific Ocean, yeah foreigners, and guess what, nobody is sh_tting in the pants over this event.
And the worst effects of it are the flood of hookers and bar fights, which really are just indicators of beneficial increased economic activity.
