I read about the Oath Keepers on FR along with a mention of the 3 percenters. What is a 3 percenter?
the percentage of people actively fighting the British for freedom. Not including those that gave them aid or other support. Just the fighting men.
Somehow I think that if the call was to round up Communists or disarm Muslims then Oath Keepers wouldn’t have a problem with it.
I believe people can sense things, but don't always know what it is they sense, or how to logically explain it. Today, "something" bad is in the air. They can "smell it."
“I’m still trying to determine how much Obama wants some kind of violence as a justification of taking further control.”
Ah — the Reichstag Fire approach.
He told you that, did he?
When there is a civil war, Zero can declare anything he wants. 90% of the people he would depend on to enforce it would be his enemies. His declaration of martial law wouldn’t mean zip.
“We’re dealing with evil people here, folks.”
That’s a fact.
Another obama disciple makes their presence known.
“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.”
I disagree. History is replete with examples of an armed populace doing just that.
You're the one with the inside information, not me.
This is the way they are ALWAYS described by the people who have everything to lose...
“They are alarmed at nothing so much, as attempts to awaken the people to jealousy and watchfulness; and it has been an old game played over and over again, to hold up the men who would rouse their fellow citizens and countrymen to a sense of their real danger, and spirit them to the most zealous activity in the use of all proper means for the preservation of the public liberty, as ‘pretended patriots,’ ‘intemperate politicians,’ rash, hotheaded men, Incendiaries, wretched desperadoes, who, as was said of the best of men, would turn the world upside down, or have done it already.” -Adams
I’m not convinced the usurper-in-chief cares about takeover. When destruction of a nation is the agenda, there are less violent means. Hence, I am the resistance.
Somehow I think that if the call was to round up Communists or disarm Muslims then Oath Keepers wouldn’t have a problem with it
1) If the Communist was ACTIVELY trying to eliminate the Constitution or the Muslim was trying to implement Sharia Law rather then following the Constitution than by all means YES “round them up”.
2) If the Muslim practiced his religion in peace and was armed to protect himself like the rest of the law abiding society than NO .
3) If the Communist was just expressing his belief,began his own commune with like minded believers, and functioned peacefully and independently than NO.
One can live as a communist in a Free Market society but one cannot live as a capitalist in a communist society.

“When backed into a corner, you have to fight.”
The most dangerous creature is one backed into a corner who concludes that he has nothing to lose by fighting.
Remember Winston Churchill’s words:
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Winston Churchill
“I fear and pray for my country.”
You and I both.
Fear the time when they really DON’T see a need for justification.
At that time, they have surpassed the need for popular support and have passed into the realm of total control.
Re: County Sheriffs
I’ve read and heard various conflicting accounts of the Sheriff’s duties and authority.
In some cases, I’ve heard that it is the Sheriff’s responsibility to protect his county’s citizens from the Feds, and to make sure they act within their jurisdiction.
Other sources say that a Sheriff cannot and will not “interfere” with Federal law enforcement.
