Patriot Leader Who Threatened To Rip Harry Reids Balls Off, Lives Off Gov Disabililty Checks
May 1, 2014
By Anomaly
Mike Vanderbeogh, leader of the militia group Three Percenters, spoke to militia members still gathered at Cliven Bundys ranch in Nevada last week to warn that the country is staring a civil war in its bloody face and that Harry Reid will have his balls ripped off.
Democratic Underground user Kpete recalled a story in the Washington Post where it mentions Vanderboeghs disability checks, while in the next breath, the militia leader speaks against what he perceives as President Obamas collectivism.

Seriously. They haven't a clue about what the government is nor what it actually does, but somebody told them to hate it and so they do.
What happens when defunding of the education system is a goal/achievement of the 1%ers.

(38,613 posts)ESCONDIDO, CASpurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American patriot Kyle Mortensen, 47, is a vehement defender of ideas he seems to think are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and principles that brave men have fought and died for solely in his head.
Kyle Mortensen would gladly give his life to protect what he says is the Constitution's very clear stance against birth control.
"Our very way of life is under siege," said Mortensen, whose understanding of the Constitution derives not from a close reading of the document but from talk-show pundits, books by television personalities, and the limitless expanse of his own colorful imagination. "It's time for true Americans to stand up and protect the values that make us who we are."
According to Mortensenan otherwise mild-mannered husband, father, and small-business ownerthe most serious threat to his fanciful version of the 222-year-old Constitution is the attempt by far-left "traitors" to strip it of its religious foundation.

He incites violence, asking others to do his bidding, while contributing nothing. He is the entitled class he rages against."

(49,026 posts)The distinction is important, otherwise it is yet again another instance of Democrats blithely accepting Right Wing framing of language.
Do not accept Right Wing / Republican / Tea terminology.
Vanderbeogh is not a patriot. Maybe call him militia leader. That's a relatively neutral term; one with connotations but both sides get the connotations they want so they're happy.

Remember the other thing that Mad-Eye Moody said to Harry Potter all the time. Not only "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!"
But also "You've GOT to KNOW!!!!"
They don't say "knowledge is power" for nothing!
