Calling All Delaware Nutbags
This is a call to all Regiment Members,
I am calling on all strong willed individuals
to help lead SCCOR into the 2010 election cycle.We need to identify the enemy and be ready for
a long hard fight. We have to compile information
of the candidates to get out to the voters.We also need to get the voter registrations so
we can concentrate on battle ground districts.We need members that would like to set up fund
raisers. This is no time to be complacent and
wait for someone else to do it.We are all in this mess together and it’s time
to step up ! Words are good but ACTION is what
is needed. This may be the last chance we have
to save our state and country.You have an organization now – let’s utilize it.
E-mail me on what you are willing to do to help our cause.Thank-you
Charles Agan

Grrrr….
But Newton said they weren’t violent . . . oh yeah, he also said he wasn’t a Republican.
I get it now — it’s Opposite Day when reading Newton.
“Some things are worth fighting for, and I think your family and your home are two of those things.”
“…members are launching a … effort as part of _____’s comprehensive foreclosure campaign. ______ is working with its membership and activists around the country to build “Home Defender Teams.” These teams will be prepared to mobilize on short notice to peacefully help defend a family’s right to stay in their homes until a fair solution to the crisis is put into place by the new Administration. We are recruiting allies and elected officials to support our efforts and call for a full and comprehensive solution to this crisis.”
Are you willing to be a Home Defender in your community?

I love how the call to arms is happening now
Is this the new face of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? If so, where have these guys been for the past 6 years?
Or is this supposed to give “Slaughter Beach” a whole new meaning?

Early nominee for Post of the Day!
BTW, on further investigation, the Beast Who Slumbers discovered that The Cajun has an excellent blog that ‘bulo will be reading from now on. He suggests that maybe you should as well:

I’m OK with Home Defender Teams actually, except for the nutbag factor. Same thing happened during Reagan’s farm foreclosure crisis, and the 1930’s. If we won’t let the courts modify the mortgages, then citizens will take things into their own hands.
In the 1980s a number of bankers and law enforcement officials were shot while trying to repossess farm properties. It is an uncomfortable but true fact that relief legislation and other easing was implemented shortly after these incidents.
For everyone that has blindly eluded to SCCOR as a violent para military group you should investigate before you open you mouths. I do invite each and all of you to our next meeting. You can go to the website to find the dates since there are more than one meeting. I guess State Senator Colin Bonini, Rep John Atkins, Rep. Dave Wilson and others must be placed in the violent category since they came to speak on the bad spending habits of Delaware legislature.
Charles – if you are not a violent para military group, then your use of violent para military rhetoric and imagery marks you as nutbags. And there is always some extreme nutbag who will believe the hype.
Regiment:
–noun 1. Military. a unit of ground forces, consisting of two or more battalions or battle groups, a headquarters unit, and certain supporting units.
2. Obsolete. government.
Throw in a few teaparties and talk of seccession:
–verb (used with object) 3. to manage or treat in a rigid, uniform manner; subject to strict discipline.
4. to form into a regiment or regiments.
5. to assign to a regiment or group.
6. to form into an organized group, usually for the purpose of rigid or complete control.
So the question for Charles, why did your group use the word regiment?
Funny how the regimental fervor was so quiet while the white guy was president.
I really don’t understand these groups that use military imagery and talk about resistance, yet get upset when you ask if they are anything but a book club.
Jason,
You forgot to bold the words “battle ground”, “Regiment”, and “the last chance we have to save our state and country.”
Also an explicit call for sending them all of them to Gitmo would help Steve Newton justify his outrage and drive traffic to his website.
Please try to do better next time.
Shorter Charles Agan:
“Unless you’re willing to come to our meetings, keep your mouth shut.”
I’ve reached the point where I just pity this group. They seem to be powerless people using pumped up G.I Joe rhetoric to make themselves seem important and a force to be reckoned with. It’s actually pretty sad.
Actually A1, to your point in #14, I think Charles is requesting that if you (that is a generic “you”) are going to criticize, at least have the courtesy (or the balls) to know what the group represents, beyond an email or a presser. That is something many bloggers, including myself, are guilty of at some time or another.
ALTHOUGH, if he can’t see the PR dilemma as a result from just the name of his group, aside from the content of the pressers, well, then, it does make it hard to get your point accross.
RSmitty,
I don’t buy the argument that you have to attend every meeting or read every word to have a valid opinion on a group or website.
I looked through all of the main pages of their website. I think that should be enough.
Every meeting or any meeting? No. I agree that’s not necessary. I was trying to say to Charles’ point that for his group to be taking it on the chin, he feels he should be given a chance to tell his side. It’s not an unfair proposition, really. However, as you just pointed out, you did utilize information put out for public dissemination, so if he’s still not happy about this post and ensuing opinion, I’d say clear up the info laid out to the public. Now I’d say the ball is back in Charles’ court.
Telling liberals that they have a mental disorder on their home page is not exactly a warm invitation to attend their meetings.
Oh. I better strike that from my Peace-Effort Initiative I was planning to roll out this week, then. Back to the drawing board! Damn it!
yes. I would put atkins in the violent category
“yes. I would put atkins in the violent category”
It wouldn’t, in any way, affect his very prominent standing in the asshole category.
We have a long tradition in our nation of keeping our civilian politics and our military separate, for very good reason. It was unfortunate choosing a para-military “frame” for what purports to be peaceful political group. Probably should have run this past the “doublespeak” folks at one of the Republican think tanks. They might have ended up being called the “Blue Skies for Rehoboth” group and we never would have noticed them. snark
From a publicity standpoint, their choosing to call themselves a militia was a shrewd decision.
For those who know WGMD and their vast Sussex Co listening audience (those who love Limbaugh, Savage, Ingraham, and local host Bill Colley (as radical right as you will ever find), there is little doubt in my mind that their real intention is to be a real militia.
Right now, judging from the public reports of their meetings, I think they have their politically correct feet forward. Let us see in the longer term what these people actually do do.
In my experience, these folks “do” little themselves, but they incite and rally others to actually do what they (as a group) espouse.
Just my two-cents, plain.
