In the media I see uniformed, self-proclaimed militias that feel they need to fight the United States government as if the government were a separate entity from the ``people of the United States.''
The militias against the citizens employed by the U.S. government are just another copy-cat example of a ``hate group'' that inflicts pain on harmless faces. They do this the same way the Nazis hurt the Jews they didn't even know - the same as the white-supremacist KKK brutalized anonymous African Americans.
Any of us could have been born black, Jewish, could have been employed by the government, could have been filling out a Social Security card or playing with blocks in a day-care on April 19.
The children in the Oklahoma day-care were also citizens who had the same rights under the Constitution as the militia.
I'd like to know if these same bomb supporters and empathizers have a nursery in their church? I hope they'll put their guns down long enough to pray. God listens.
