Okla. tea party leaders, lawmakers eye militia

[deminks]

Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a volunteer militia.

The militia's purpose would be to defend against what activists see as improper federal infringements on state sovereignty.

Tea party leaders say they've discussed the idea with several lawmakers and hope for legislation next year. State Sen. Randy Brogdon, a Republican candidate for governor, and Republican state Rep. Charles Key say they are open to the idea.

I am speechless for the moment.

4. Bingo!

I happen to be listening to Rachel right now, promoting the MSNBC anniversary special on McVeigh and teasing another story on militia mayhem. Why is it that the right pays so much lip service to the Constitution, while the left actually embraces it?
