A group of Utahans have long been planning a protest ride, taking their ATVs on a trail closed for environmental concerns by BLM. Now, word has reached the Bundy Ranch militias, and their headed to Utah, itching for a fight:

Cliven Bundy II? Utah protesters prepare for new face-off with feds*-*Los Angeles Times

One of the groups calls itself "People's United Militia Armed Services"- PUMAS. Cool, huh?

The armed branch of the Tea Party. They can't win at the polls, so they are going to try to spark a revolution.

The people of the US- the ones who believe in a democratic government, anyway- better wake the hell up. These fools are a threat.

A TV channel needs to give this group a camera crew, I am sure it would make for some funny reality tv.

Are you speculating or is this fact? The Tea Party has a branch of military?
There stated purpose is to go initiate a confrontation? They want to innate a fight or armed conflict with government forces?
You of course have documents to support this or possibly a link or two?
I am no fan of the misguided protests taking place over the idiot Bundy. That said the Fed should always be taken to task for the decisions they make. They should always be held accountable for misdeeds, fraud, waste or misuse of power. I agree with that principle.

Default Bunkerville militia in route to Utah to provoke new confrontation

It's all fun and games until one TPer accidentally shoots another in the butt.

Or 'detached from reality' TV.

Yeah, they'd better go to the Dick Cheney School of Firearms Safety before heading to Utah.

For a member of the Bundy militia, that's the equivalent of a headshot.

Recapture Canyon and an illegal ATV trail — High Country News

"Seven years ago, I first saw the archaeological damage that had been done to Utah’s Recapture Canyon. The extent of the destruction was stunning.
Somebody, or more likely several people, had created an illegal all-terrain vehicle trail on Bureau of Land Management land. Sections of the trail ran right through 1,000-year-old Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites, bisecting one prehistoric village the size of a football field – all this in a place that archaeologists have described as a “mini-Mesa Verde.” The scar through Recapture Canyon, just east of Blanding, Utah, is seven miles long and four feet wide.
