"All It's Lacking Is A Spark"

"Right-wing militias, people ideologically against paying taxes and so-called 'sovereign citizens'" (FNC) similar to those formed during the 1990s are once again springing up across the country and "are concentrated in the Midwest, Pacific Northwest and the Deep South, according to Mark Potok, [a Southern Poverty Law Center] staff director" (FNC). "The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president" (FNC) are acting as contributing factors to the "recruiting videos and other outreach on the Internet . . . and researchers from [the SPLC] found at least 50 new groups in the last few months" (FNC).
