ABC: Militia members receive government money

The U.S. militia movement sees itself as a bulwark against encroaching government powers -- a way to maintain individual liberty in an era of what they see as ever-growing state control over people's lives.

But for at least one of these groups -- the 21st Battalion of the LightFoot Militia in northern Idaho -- government money appears to be crucial. Government money in the form of unemployment checks, that is.

ABC News' Ryan Owens reported on Tuesday's Nightline that most of the LightFoot members he talked to during a weekend training session "don't have a job, and most do take unemployment from the state. They argue it's insurance, not welfare."

Owens reports that Jeff Stankewicz, the group's leader, is unemployed and formed the group a year ago, after attending a Tax Day Tea Party event.

they wouldn't have their "insurance". Idiots.
