ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — Federal agents conducted raids over the weekend in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio and arrested at least three people, the F.B.I. said Sunday. A militia leader in Michigan
said the target of at least one of the raids had been a Christian
militia group.

Police officers guarded a home in Clayton, Mich., on Sunday after a raid. Federal officials have arrested at least three people.

Federal warrants were sealed, but an F.B.I. spokeswoman, Sandra Berchtold, said there had been activity in two southeast Michigan
counties near the Ohio state line. She would not say whether they were
tied to the raids in the other states.

Scott Wilson, an F.B.I. spokesman in Cleveland, said agents arrested two people on Saturday after raids in two towns in Ohio. A third arrest was
made in northeast Illinois on Sunday, a day after a raid took place
just over the border in northwest Indiana.

Michael Lackomar, a spokesman for the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia, said one of his team leaders got a telephone call on Saturday
evening from members of Hutaree, a Christian militia group, who said
their property in southeast Michigan was being raided by the U.S." class="meta-org"">Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and....

“They said they were under attack by the A.T.F. and wanted a place to hide,” Mr. Lackomar said. “My team leader said, ‘No thanks.’ ”

People who entertain me is who. I'd say you, but I'm afraid you'll go all Joe Pesci on me.

[brujo]

Yeah, excuse me. I have a doctor's appointment for a vaccine. There's a new epidemic of pompousness going around.

[brujo]

Yeah, it figures you'd watch MSNBC.

[brujo]

No, but I do find it entertaining.

[brujo]

Yeah, lot of truth to that. Considering they're all followers of Christ, it seems to be crowded boat. With an easily offended crew and pretty grumpy to boot. But I don't think it's just Christians that are victim to manipulation. I think we're all victims to manipulation.

I dunno. I thought at this point in my life, figuring it out would be easier, but it's not. I listen to NPR as a primary news source, and half the time, they make me roll my eyes like twin Saturn rockets heading for the stratosphere. I think everyone out there is selling us something. Jefferson was correct when he said the truest things in newspapers are advertisements. I think there are people making a lot of money providing all our national drama, and keeping us at one another's throats.

"I think there are people making a lot of money providing all our national drama, and keeping us at one another's throats."

And keeping us from being aware of how badly we are being screwed by both sides of the political spectrum.

There is Christianity and there is right wing fundamentalist Chritianity. They are very different. I dont care for fundamentalism of any kind be it Christian or Islam. The fundis usally have a political agenda that supercedes the spiritual. Think about it. Have you seen many militant Buhddists?
