According to a new report by a government information collection agency, “militia members” could include pro-lifers, Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, and other law-abiding Americans. The liberal ACLU is crying foul, and so are conservatives. Fox News reports:
People who supported former third-party presidential candidates like Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr are cited in the report, in addition to anti-abortion activists and conspiracy theorists who believe the United States, Mexico and Canada will someday form a North American Union.
“Militia members most commonly associate with 3rd party political groups,” the report reads. “It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarian material.”
Other potential signals of militia involvement, according to the report, are possession of the Gagsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag or the widely available anti-income tax film “America: Freedom to Fascism.”
George Orwell couldn’t have written a spoof this bizarre. Welcome, Nannie!
