The SPLC probably thinks anyone who actually holds their hand over their heart and says the Pledge of Allegiance out loud also fits that description.
People spewing their bs as usual.
I do think it should be spelled out what people will be exposed to, when these meetings take place. I do find it difficult to to understand why people who swore to uphold our Constitution would somehow be offended by folks restating that goal, and asking them to join in.
Let's look at this one series of comments by Potoc.
Potoc — who recently debated Rhodes on MSNBC's "Hardball" program — said he has no problem with the Oath Keepers defending the Constitution, but noted that they appear to be motivated by irrational fears.
"The point is that these are men and women who are armed and given special powers by society in order to protect the rest of us, and in this case they are animated by completely false conspiracy theories about nefarious enemies preparing to do in the United States," Potoc said.
He said the Oath Keepers' fears aren't unlike those found in the 1990s militia movement, which portrayed the federal government as part of a wicked conspiracy that would impose martial law on the country and force the U.S. into a one-world government.
Okay, then can Potoc explain why we need to have an active arm of the military assigned to the soil of the United States for active military service specifically on that soil? The National Guard is tasked with that, and there isn't any reason why that shouldn't continue in the same manner it has.
Perhaps he can tell us what submission to NAFTA, the WTO, the U.N., and Agenda 21 type agreements is, if not international governance? Why are our federal parks referred to as International Biosphere Preserves?
This group was described as supporting the U.S. Constitution and asking those in attendance to please become involved to defend our Constitution over people.
How dare they! Now there's a radical idea if I ever heard one. /s
They always report the liberal spin, not the original news story.
Even talk radio news does the same thing.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is nothing but a racist hate group.
Americans want their country back, and back from hate groups like the Southern Poverty Klan Center
Yeah, these “veterans” were confused. They didn’t expect to find anything even remotely patriotic at a Veterans Day event in Maine.
Ah yes, the new and fashionable pejorative for non-statists, (genuine)anti fascists, and those who oppose socialism, leviathan central governments and planned economy's.
