Conservative plans march on Washington with loaded rifles

These great patriots are defending the constitution.

V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

And you actually think a handful of nitwits with loaded guns puts fear into the hearts of the people who control the most powerful military in the world?

These guys are asshats, no doubt about that. But they have an active motivation to make sure nothing bad happens. A big scene would probably just make a powerful statement for their sworn enemies.

If they don't, they should have no issues letting the 'nitwits' protest within the confines of the law.

Laws of course can be changed, and the District of Columbia is subject to the control of the United States Congress.

Alienated, politicized militias like an SA are not expressions of democracy.

On the contrary. The militia is the people.

They're not going to intimidate the government. All they're going to do is intimidate the mostly black residents of that city who likely have unhappy memories of what their grandparents went through when a bunch of white men with guns descended on their city.

How exactly does one acquire one's grandparent's memories?

Do you even know what "SA" means? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

Would it be acceptable to you if those militias were connected somehow to a political party?

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia describes the militia as composed of the body of the people. There is no reference to concepts such as democracy or political parties.
