READY TO REVOLT: Oath Keepers pledges to prevent dictatorship in United States
Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | ALAN MAIMON

Posted on 10/19/2009 5:02:46 AM PDT by RoadTest

Depending on your perspective, the Oath Keepers are either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia.

In the age of town halls, talk radio and tea parties, middle ground of opinion is hard to find.

Most Popular Stories READY TO REVOLT: Oath Keepers pledges to prevent dictatorship in United States U.S. SENATE SEAT: Two could beat Reid, poll finds NORM: Garth Brooks, Wynn to team up NORM: Yearwood exacts her recompense Woman struck, killed by car while crossing street Friends, co-workers honor fallen police officer Friends, co-workers honor fallen police officer NORM: Rumor about ring wrong, Fator says One of four intruders killed during break-in NORM: 'CSI' guru recalls doing homework Two brothers arrested in drug-related home slaying

Launched in March by Las Vegan Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers bills itself as a nonpartisan group of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel who vow to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution.

More specifically, the group's members, which number in the thousands, pledge to disobey orders they deem unlawful, including directives to disarm the American people and to blockade American cities.

I don’t know how that irrelevant paragraph got into the middle of my excerpt.

I'm still trying to determine how much Obama wants some kind of violence as a justification of taking further control.

“I’m still trying to determine how much Obama wants some kind of violence as a justification of taking further control.”

I’m with you. The NWO behind Charley MacCarthty no doubt foresees and is preparing for widespread violence, and is also prepared to use it as an excuse to declare martial law, which they in turn won’t be in any hurry to terminate.

We’re dealing with evil people here, folks.

Wondering with their arrogance if they even consider the need for justification?

I find it reassuring there’s a group like this. When push comes to shove, an armed populace has no chance against on out of control military doing the will of an out of control government.

Take notice how anyone who says they will protect the Constitution is labeled as an extremist and a radical, thats the scary part of this article imo.

Enough so that it should be a litmus test for any candidate running for sheriff.

rahm emmanual stated that they should never let a crisis go to waste. ozero is a self proclaimed citizen of the world and not culturally an American. He stated that he laments that the Constitution limits what they can DO TO the American people. It seems pretty clear that they are just waiting for a crisis, manufactured or not, to go after all the power. He is part of a crowd that believes that they are rulers and a revolution is needed for the betterment of all. But I really believe that their arrogance will be their downfall. There are enough American citizens who won’t put up with that. The Constitution is the basis of our legal system, and there have been assaults on it before. This time the assault is very visible which may be why it will fail.

How many of YOU are members of Oath Keepers?

Also, remember that Obama called for a "Civilian" army just as strong and well equipped as our constitutional army. This army will be used against people like you and me in our towns and neighborhoods.

Don't think that all of the record gun sales and shortage of ammo is all because of patriots.

If you are going to have a "Civilian" army, it has to be armed right?

I fear and pray for my country.

“Depending on your perspective, the Oath Keepers are either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia”.

...”Depending on your level of stupidity and lack of education” is how this should start. If you are stupid enough to think we’re paranoid find a good history teacher! Stop attending the “Karl Mark School of Hstory and Economics”!

obama has plans to take full control of the United States. With or without violence. He will do a serious assessment sometime in 2011, probably in the first 6 months, on his chances of re-election in 2012. He will have most if not all of his assets in place to make his move. If he doesn’t like his chances of being re-elected, he will strike then. Should he believe that he has a good chance of beig re-elected, he wil wait. But the bottom line is that he plans on taking control of the United States. It is only a matter of when.

Since the Sheriff has nearly absolute authority in his given county, your statement is appropriate.

Mark Potok said. "But these kinds of conspiracy theories are what drive a small number of people to criminal violence. ... What's troubling about Oath Keepers is the idea that men and women armed and ordered to protect the public in this country are clearly being drawn into a world of false conspiracy theory."

"False conspiracy theory"?

Says who?

I have been watching presidential elections since 1972 and have never seen the American population go out and purchase firearms and ammo on this level as a result of an election. Happened for a reason. The American people deep down don’t trust this guy or his party and their media. Add to that, when our ecomony hits a downturn, crime rates go up. Traditionally, the dimrats coddle criminals.
Action leading to reaction.
