  Are you angry for having been a JW?

  i remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.

  we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.

  just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..

  Yes, I'm still angry at having been duped. I can't blame myself because I was 14 and naïve.

  SecretSlaveClass:

  THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF WAGING A SUCCESSFUL GUERRILLA CAMPAIGN IS HAVING A SYMPATHETIC POPULATION SO YOU CAN HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT!

  Rural areas and small towns in red states. They don't have to be an overwhelming majority. A lot of Cubans did not support Castro.

  Besides, I'm not saying that they'll necessarily win but they can inflict serious damage.

  SecretSlaveClass, I'm sure you're more knowledgeable than me about the hardware but...

  But this is a field that even the average marine wouldn't understand, let alone a civilian.

  You only need a small amount of gun powder to harass the authorities who'll be forced to send a bomb squad for an ordinary pipe bomb filled with gunpowder.

  Guns and land will always mean more to a right winger than gay rights...

  Yes, but that doesn't mean that they won't inflict violence because of other issues. Look at the bombings and recent arson of Planned Parenthood clinics.

  Drones come in a myriad shapes and sizes designed for every concievable reconnaissance and cobat description.

  On the issue of drones, and who can have them, check this out:

  Guerrilla warfare doesn't have to match the main forces in weaponry nor attack those forces when the odds are against them. It's hit and run and it was successful in Cuba during the communist revolution as my parents well knew.

  SecretSlaveClass:

  The Bundy ranch incident firstly, represented more to the right wing than this gay hating bitch. The Bundy ranch incident was about the BLM intrusion on land/grazing rights.

  First, all these issues are just different ingredients in the same stew.

  Second, Gay rights in general, not just marriage, have been linked to pedophilia. It doesn't matter how illogical that is because that's what the propagandized right wingers believe. Pedophilia of course provokes the anger of parents who think they have to safeguard their children.

  Back then the grays had almost the same gear as the north on the battlefield, now - are,you kidding? Drones alone would wipe out Kentucky.

  You underestimate the weaponry that they have. It includes explosives. It doesn't have to be an even match technologically since guerilla warfare has always been asymmetrical.

  Also, Republican congress will not have the courage to fight the Frankenstein that they have created.

  Drones alone would wipe out Kentucky.

  Which will worsen the situation. You're not going to be able to use drones in urban/suburban centers and the situation would not be limited to Kentucky.

  Angharad:

  Fining her wouldn't affect her at all as her supporters would have paid the fine for her

  But if she can be fined multiple times. That would have a different effect.

  SecretSlaveClass:

  I highly doubt the right wingers will ever rise up, just like the right wing in South Africa who threatened a full scale uprising when it became clear that full democratic elections would be held.

  There is the example of the Bundy incident where supporters were taking sniping positions to kill law enforcement officers.

  So in my opinion will there be a general right-wing uprising? No way! They're cowards. Perhaps a bomb or two or the odd shooting then they'll crawl back into their rat holes and continue stewing in their hatred in muted malevolence.

  I've been around these pricks and I have been well versed in counter revolutionary warfare. Not organized, can't agree on procedure, no unity - NO WAY!

  You and other posters here severely underestimate them. The American revolution started out with rag tag militias which quickly organized after the first shot was fired. They want a fight.

  Not to mention despite what people may think, the FBI and ATF have been tracking potential trouble makers for years, long before fundamentalist Islam.

  A study on right wing terrorism was nixed by Republicans who then retaliated against those who put the study together. They will sabotage anything that they wish to. And for every terrorist head that they cut off 10 more will sprout.

  If I'm wrong, be sure to kick me in the nuts.

  If your avatar is any indication your nuts are too big.

  Viviane:

  I believe she has been made utterly impotent. Just like interracial marriage, the outcry will die down and no one will care soon.

  She has been strengthened.

  The analogy doesn't hold except, of course, in the moral justification of both examples. Their outcry will not die down because there are hundreds of right wing religious leaders who have been fanning the flames for well over a decade.

  To all of you who responded to me and to the board in general I suggest that you go to http://www.rightwingwatch.org/ every day and read the (short) posts with videos of the hate mongering/civil war prattling of these leaders. After one month's time you will realize the scope and the breadth of this demonization while keeping in mind the fact that there are tens of millions who are eyeball deep in this feces.

  Simon: "Then she will go to prison."

  And then she'll be jojoed in and out of jail? If she now goes back to jail her supporters may turn violent. They've been crying out for civil war for years now and it would only take a spark to ignite it.

  In my opinion sending her to jail instead of fining her was a strategic mistake. She's been made more powerful.

  Fisherman:

  "She will be checkmated. The Supreme Court has ruled. She is defying the Constitution . It is not about an accomodation."

  Just how will she be checkmated? You're thinking in terms of law. She's acting in terms of popular support which can manifest itself in the form of defiance against the law. Nullification is the word that comes to mind.

  Simon:

  Her only option now is to resign.

  That would be the ethical option but she isn't going to do the ethical thing.

  There is no other outcome to this.

  She can keep dragging her feet.

  The court should not and cannot back down.

  Agreed but, like I stated above, it's a chess game and moves have to be carefully weighed instead of rushed.

  I predict a resignation in her future or else an impeachment.

  Impeachment is not an option! If it's held up for a vote the same people who voted for her will take her side. That would give them an even bigger victory with major repercussions nationwide.

  And, from her point of view, there is no reason to resign. She has the support of many who would think of her as a quitter if she were to resign.

  Check and checkmate?

  Fisherman: "The issue is do your job"

  I agree on principle but this situation has to be thought of as a chess game.

  I didn't think of the idea that others might pay her fine but I would have welcomed that assuming that she could have been fined multiple times.
