More drama over the MIAC report
Posted By J.T. on April 24, 2009
This article from STL Today states that “Missouri House Speaker Ron Richard has agreed to appoint a special committee to investigate the political profiling done by the state’s “fusion center” known as MIAC.”
For those who don’t remember, the MIAC report was a state-sanctioned report that tried to link 3rd party voters with domestic terrorists, otherwise known as militias. Even though the Federal and state constitutions each mention militias in a positive manner, apparently today the term militia is supposed to conjure up images of machine-gun wielding psychopaths whose sole purpose in life is the destruction of the U.S. government.
The MO state highway patrol decided to retract this report after quite a few angry calls and letters from all over the country.
Back to the latest news - Grandview Alderman Mike Ferguson, spokesman for the MO Libertarian Party took a jab at MO Lieutenant Governer Peter Kinder:
“In contrast to Lt. Governor Peter Kinder’s grandiose statements and rhetoric in his press conference last month, he’s nowhere to be found on actually delivering the solution to this problem. Despite his skillfully taking a public bow for the hard work of others, it should be pointed out that Mr. Kinder contributed nothing to this effort other than empty words.
“It’s important for the public to know the difference between those who merely talked about leading, like Lt. Governor Kinder, and those who truly led, like Representatives Schoeller, [Rep. 123 from Belton, Chris] Molendorp, Dixon, Kelley and Guest.”
