When Has the Right Gone Too Far

[Bull]

I heard an interview today with a reporter from Mother Jones and what he was talking about should scare the bejesus out of us.
This is a group that is much like other right wing groups with the one great exception, they are armed. They are zealots much like others blaming our president for things that happened before he took office. And seem to not have a problem that the predecessor is the one who shredded the constitution. I do recomend this article.

Glenn Beck loves them. Tea Partiers court them. Congressmen listen to them. Meet the fast-growing "patriot" group that's recruiting soldiers
to resist the Obama administration.

From what I know of Oathkeepers, if they ever have to take up arms, it won't be against you, jacquin, relax.

Pacis, you have hit the nail on the head, "Who decides". The leaders of this group are not elected. It is so easy to disagree with those in charge and especially other citizens. It is easy to call something unconstitutional, but when citizens start doing it without the courts, congress or the President, we are no longer a country of laws.

From the Oathkeepers website:

"Oath Keepers is a non partisan association of currently serving military, peace officers, fire-fighters, and veterans who will fulfill our oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God."

Yeah, right, pretty subversive sounding group. speaking of hysteria......

Sigh...the more things "change" the more they remain the same. I remember a similar flap about "State Militias" not all that long ago.

As the sign on my desk says... This, Too, Shall Pass
