Everyone already kinda dog-piled on your question but yeah, there's a strong anti-government common thread between kooky christian cults and white supremacists. McVeigh and other terrorists explicitly invoke both Christianity and White Supremacy when they kill people.

EDIT: Also, look up "The Turner Diaries"

I've heard of The Turner Diaries and their contents. I have done a bit of research on white supremacy, mainly consisting of Wikipedia and YouTube, though. This guy made some nice videos that I show people who need to know what the Alt-Right is all about.

White nationalists and militia types viewed it as big government (specifically the ATF) coming to get the guns from the Branch Davidians. In fact, weapons are what brought the compound to the ATF's attention initially.

The Ruby Ridge incident set the stage. Randy Weaver talking about the FBI shooting his dog and his wife over minor firearms charges made a lot people view the Waco siege as the same kind of gently caress up. It didn't help that Koresh was perfectly happy martyring himself and everybody in the compound with him.

Odd little bit of trivia, in the 90s Art Bell was the conspiracy headquarters on the radio and the callers on his show talked a lot about Ruby Ridge, Waco, and black helicopter bullshit. Right up until the OKC bombing, at which point the show moved it's focus to aliens and psychics.

Sounds from the letter that Breathed was selling shirts advertised with photoshops of the Trump family wearing the shirts. Not that he's got a C&D over illustrating Trump's likeness.

Time for Donald Trump to close, sell or restructure Kentucky

At first, I was mad but then again I kind of agree with him on certain points.

quote:

Kentucky’s not only an economic loser, its leading representatives in Washington are disruptive and arrogant.

Well this is certainly true. McConnell and Rand Paul are really lovely.

I've been thinking about who I would want Trump to sell Kentucky to and I think I've decided on Ali Baba. A Chinese company with an Arabic name would really piss everyone in this state off.

So loving glad I got out of that shitholler.

For shits and giggles look at Bagdad [sic] Kentucky. First you think, wow, they named it after the city in Iraq? Right? They have London, Versailles, and Paris as cities in the state after all. Nope, it's far more dumb...

quote:

According to one account, the station was named "Daddy's Bag", after a colorful railroad worker who lived there, which was eventually shortened to "Bagdad". Another account suggests that a person with a speech impediment named it "Granddad".[1] Yet another story has it that the young speech-impaired son of a local feed merchant, whenever a customer walked into the door, would holler to his father, "Bag, dad!".

I was 7 when Waco happened and looking back it's my first political memory. Coverage of it was on more than cartoons. Also no one had cable back then. The main sources of news were newspapers and local TV news. There wasn't this constant barrage of news 24/7.

What? Plenty of people had cable in 1993. We're not talking about the 70's or early 80's and there were 24 hour news networks. The only major thing lacking was easy access to the Internet. It was either 1993 or 1994 when The Simpsons first mentioned the Internet on TV and 94/95 is when it really started taking off for home use.
