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.
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. By refusing the latter order, the Oath Keepers hope to prevent cities from becoming "giant concentration camps," a scenario the 44-year-old Rhodes says he can envision happening in the coming years.
It's a Cold War-era nightmare vision with a major twist: The occupying forces in this imagined future are American, not Soviet.

Let’s hope lots of others join them.
Wow...the “fuse” is really this close to being lit?
Oh yeah, meant to ask...how reliable is this source? I’m not familiar with the LV Review.
There was a youtube video of a former cop explaining this, not too long ago .. a year or less ... I’ll try to find it.
Oathers and Birthers and Tea Partiers, oh my! I love it. Let’s keep the heat on our non-citizen pres__ent! Let him know that real Americans will not take his shenanigans lying down. In the words of Twisted Sister-”We’re not going to take it anymore!”
I found the link on Drudge. It seems legit to me.
I think this will become huge. Obama is going to have to listen to them. The military and law enforcement is sworn to protect us. This could be what really kills Obamacare.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Must be a pretty big movement, there has been, what like, a dozen posting on this just today.
The RJ is a pretty ‘honest’ paper, as far as papers go.
Or, you can go to the source

If I was Obama, my biggest fear would be the emergence of an armed insurgency by freedom lovers.
Proud member of Oath Keepers
The 10 Order That will not be obeyed,
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
Like the rest that have joined, I took an oath years ago to defend the constitution and have never recanted it.
Who will B. Hussein Obama turn to when local law enforcement and military personnel refuse to turn on American citizens?
None other than the United Nations “Peacekeeping” Forces.
I doubt that Chi-coms and North Koreans would blink an eye at gunning down freedom loving Americans.
Oh, come on guys. We are not anywhere near the necessity for extraordinary measures. I doubt we will ever come close. There will be elections and the gaggle of child molesters, euthanasia supporters, Mao-lovers, and America haters in the White House will be gone. Elections will also remove many of their congressional allies. I hope Reid falls, for example. It IS best to be prudent and vigilant. But no need for more than that yet.
Do you think it wil come to that? I sure hope not.
Being on Drudge gives it positive points...thanks.
