The U.S. military is going to be conducting some kind of training exercise in several western and southwestern states from July to September this year. Heads are asploding across the internet as tin foil hat types burst a vein. While internet insanity is hardly new, and rather to be expected, it's now bleeding over into real life. Texas's Governor has ordered the state's national guard to monitor these exercises so that Texans will "know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed."
I beg of you. Someone. Explain how these nuts keep getting elected.

Re: Keeping an eye on the power
It's insane to think that the national guard is needed to ensure that the military will not infringe on the rights of the populace. How can you not see that?

Oh yeah. The Walmart deal. Depending on whom you ask, those are going to be surface access to a complex of underground passages that the government will use to round up patriotic men who might try to resist their effort to take over the country.
There isn't enough tin foil in the country for these crackpots.
