Lately, I have been following a tea party website called DC Clothesline. I do not know exactly how popular the site is. But I have noticed that some of its more inflammatory stuff ends up being re-posted on other teahadist sites. DC Clothesline also is pretty active on Facebook.
Below is part a commentary published on DC Clothesline. The author is Matheus Grunt, a self-described militia leader (his Facebook page led me to a link to a the website of a militia he claims to have founded). In it, he tells people that they should be preparing to fight a civil war:
This is the 1st stage we are in now and, as we make our way through it, gather your arms, build your ammo storage up, save on water and consumables that you can actually use. Tools, lighters, fire-starters, anything you can save and actually use to survive and fight with is necessary. Forget loading up your house with tons of food and water or so much ammo that you will never be able to use it. Be practical yet cautious. We are here now and as we move forward, the enemies who are consorting against us will make it known that they want our last bit of freedom and liberty. Train and prepare with your arms and congregate with other patriots because tomorrow maybe our last day that we can walk outside freely.

They are becoming crazier.

Everyone here needs to read that book, I'd advise getting it in a RW book store and paying cash to avoid getting on lists (maybe a bit paranoid, but I think it's justified here)
To be more specific, it is a scary insight into the teabagger mindset. There are events described in it that have happened, and some that are scary in light of what was done. They think it's a real book, like the bible (remember, they think that the Bible is recorded history, not a collection of parables (not in this for a religious argument)) they don't have the same ability to differentiate between fantasy and reality.

We are in the early stages of it where the more finalized portions of the socialist, evil agenda, is being placed around the neck of America. With the introduction of an American President who is extremely leftist, who abhors our Constitution and God himself, our Bill of Rights & our basic human rights as people, we are in the final pages of a long chapter that is starting to close."
Unlawul combination, insurrection, conspiracy, treason. They are already at war, and we are arguing about drones.

Also hope my computer didn't get infected by clicking on his facebook accounts.
