You Know What Scares Me The Most?
Its not another attack by terrorists.
Its not economic collapse on a scale akin to the ex-Soviet Republics
Its not law concocted by evangelicals.
Its not a spineless Congress or a Rump Court.
Its that private army they've got down there in the swamps of Virginia.
They scare me.
Brown Shirts.
Blackwater.

7. Bring 'Em On,.....
-----First off,... I am IN Virginia, and I haven't heard anything about such a private army,... though I wouldn't doubt it in the least. I have heard about plans to bring in up to 40,000 Colombian nationals to form a military force to be used against US citizens,.... prompted by the fear that US military would refuse orders to fire on their own countrymen (as occurred in Russia) Either way, I am hardly scared. Neither a little private army in the Virginia swamplands, nor 40,000 Colombians stand much of a chance against the best-armed citizenry in the western hemisphere,.. thirty to forty million adults out of a population of 300,000,000. And such a move would be the definitive end for the neocons. They know this, too, or they would have attempted it already. Personally, I hope they DO blunder into such an ill-advised move, as I am tired and suspicious of the political venue. I suggest you get yourself a gun and stop being scared.

8. Welcome to DU Parisle
They're there. Here is their Web site. Never heard about the Colombians story. Sounds like an urban legend to me. :shrug:
