Penn Jillette appeared with Glenn Beck on Beck’s TV show earlier today to discuss the accusations of domestic terrorism / militia movement warned about in the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report released recently. The report profiles those “types” of people likely to be involved in anti-government militia groups. It specifically states that supporters of Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin are suspect.

Once again Glenn Beck shows support for the Founders’ version of America. He even dons a Gadsden “Don’t Tread On Me” flag T-shirt during the clip.

I’m starting to wonder if I’m on a super secret anti-government list for the things I’ve stated here on Liberty Maven over the past couple of years. I had a Ron Paul bumper sticker on my car. I had a Bob Barr bumper sticker on my car. I attended rallies and meetups. I’m an enemy of the state I guess. Oh well. Of course, I’m also a happily married tax-paying, upstanding citizen with two young children with a good job (for now).

If I’m on the list then I’m honored to be there. If I’m not, it must be due to government ineptitude. Lovers of liberty should look at such a list as a petition to sign rather than something to be avoided. Where do I sign?

Is it illegal to belong to a militia?

The people, if armed, are the militia.

Yes, but is it illegal? One of the questions on the list is "are you a member of a militia" like that's a bad thing. Since when is a "anti-government militia group" illegal or a domestic terrorist organization? I'm currently anti- this government, I own a gun… should I be leery of being rounded up?

Ok, dumb question. Of course, I should be.
