In The USA: the Next Revolution

[RJ]

Whenever a coonass asked what the hell is a NY City Yankee doing Goose Guiding in Texas, I politely remarked -"I'm down her to teach you people how to shoot!"

When the fool axe'd "What the hell do you mean by that?"

I reminded him that "You did lose that war, and my Gread Grand Daddy was a Sgt. In the 88th Infantry of the NY Vols. "Irish Brigade"!

At about that time my ponyo, Charles W.Stephens, III a.k.a. "Porkey"
would step in and advise the guys from Hackberry, LA that I cam from good stock!

We all sat an giggled at each other over a second helping of grits with a little straberry preserve mixed in with a dash of pepper, salt and a dash of Cayanne pepper sauce.

When I get to Slap Out, AL I'll buy you the first round, and tell y'all about Porkey!

His Momma's family owned the power company in Little Rock and he and I were Recon Squad leaders in 2nd Recon Bn, 2nd Mar. Div. early in the 1960's. Porkey did a little bidness at the Bay of Pigs.

Semper Fi Brother . I'll let you know when I'm commin!

State Rep. Daniel Itse (R) of Fremont, N.H., wants to create a volunteer "permanent state defense force," separate from the New Hampshire National Guard, to assist with disaster relief and "defend the state against invasion." The legislation would require Gov. John Lynch to establish a state guard comprising an undetermined number of volunteers who sign up for one-year stints. It would have an "inactive reserve" made up of all able-bodied adult state residents, with exemptions for conscientious objectors, state and federal officials and others.

It looks like the good congresswoman doesn't trust the NHNG. I wonder what she thinks about the Army Reserve and the Naval Milita in her state?

I'm surprised a Republican is taking this tack.

Or she just wants to have something that can't be mobilized and sent out of the state. Lots of states have SDFs- the Texas State Guard, the California State Military Reserve, and the New York Guard, to name a few.

There is nothing in the US Constitution that prohibits the states from maintaining a military force. What the NH state constitution says, I don't know, but this is hardly something new. According to the State Guard Association of the US, 23 of the 50 states have one http://www.sgaus.org/states/active-state-forces.html

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America faces imminent uprisings that mirror those in the Middle East.

“What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door,” Farrakhan said in a booming voice, thousands of followers cheering in his wake.

'cause the rules say she can, and the 'militia' specifically exclude members of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
