   Because here aren't any? In the US militias have tended to be right wing.   
   While they usually don't care for the Federal government, they don't like   
   Somalis, illegals, lesbians, and the left wing either. They're probably   
   holed up in a nice warm place drinking beer, eating ribs, and watching the   
   show.   
      
   There is quite a bit of cognitive dissonance going on.
