HIGHLAND PARK, MI (click here) - A small crowd gathered on the front lawn of a home in Highland Park to hear from presidential hopeful and U.S. Senator Rand Paul Friday afternoon.
Appearing with a handful of local elected officials, including Democratic Highland Park Mayor DeAndre Windom, and business leaders, Paul delivered a short outline of his political strategy during his "Unleash the American Dream" event.
The Republican candidate said Friday that one of the problems with Washington, D.C., is that Republicans and Democrats are always fighting.
"We never get the solutions, because we don't have conversation," Paul said. "I came here, really, not to tell the mayor how to do his job, but to learn more about your city. ... The thing I think we all have to acknowledge is we face a lot of problems in our country ... so we need to figure out what works and what doesn't work."
Paul said he came to Highland Park to learn about the community's specific problems....
The Michigan Militia is the cornerstone to radical gun laws. It could be said, the Michigan Militia is the KKK of guns. They don't care about the slaughter of innocent children in their classrooms, they promote guns as the basis of a lifestyle. Gun groups such as the NRA have a real gratitude to the Michigan militia for their electorate from year to year. Oh, yeah, and don't forget the FOX viewer. The Michigan militia remains the roll model for current gun groups. "The only way to stop a bad man with a gun, is a good man with a gun." They never say, "Good people or Good women." Sexist as well as racist. There are no minority Michigan militia members last time I looked.

Within days of the Oklahoma City bombing (click here) eyes across the globe turned to empty farm fields and lonely expanses of woods in Michigan in an effort to better understand the men the U.S. government claimed were responsible for the death of 168 people.
Newspaper headlines and TV news crews pounded Michigan Militia members after it was discovered that the men responsible for the April 19, 1995, bombing -- Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols -- may have attended militia meetings before they blew up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City....
Below is from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Kindly donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center (click here) since the federal government has withdrawn it's funding because the right wing complained the SPLC was partisan. It's outrageous, but, it happened. The SPLC should sue the federal government over it's lost funding. Just because it is the political right wing that composes the most hate groups doesn't mean the PSLC is partisan.

A key figure of the 1990s antigovernment “Patriot” movement (click here) who largely dropped from public view in 2002 has resurfaced in Alaska, where he’s recruiting for his newly formed Alaska Militia.
Norm Olson, who founded the Michigan Militia in 1994, held an organizational meeting last Thursday at a community center in Nikiski, a small town in the Kenai Peninsula region about 170 road miles from Anchorage.
Olson’s message: “Something very evil this way comes.”
“We’re looking at catastrophe just a couple months away — economic collapse, food shortages around the world, prices in stores are gonna go skyrocketing with this inflation,” Olson told the roughly 20 attendees, according to The Redoubt Reporter, a Kenai Peninsula newspaper.
“I’m convinced that times are coming when we are going to have to repel federal aggression, tyrannical oppressive federal aggression. They’re going to want to quell any kind of uprising, because it’s bad for politics,” Olson was quoted as saying.
Presiding over the meeting alongside Olson was Michigan Militia co-founder Ray Southwell. In the 1990s Olson and Southwell together made the Michigan Militia one of the first major antigovernment Patriot groups in the country and helped transform their former home state into a hotbed of Patriot activity.
