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.

Do you ever get tired of pooping all over the Constitution?
I'm not sure who's army I'm in at the moment.... but, I sure as heck know what I'll be fighting for if things heat up.....
I agree. When one takes an oath to defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and DDOMESTIC, I think one is bound by the oath. I don’t think one “unoaths” oneself when leaving office...
The only question I have is do you have to be a vet to join?
Sounds like a great group. How long before the goverment sends their minions to infiltrate it?
This is very important. Your local Lefties are the folks who empower the political system. Teachers. Librarians, government bureaucrats, union members, community organizers. If these are not rooted out, the communist movement will continue. The communists love watching police and military die protecting the International dream. They, however, attend peace rallies while the useful idiots die on the battlefield. In 1776, we drove the Tories to Canada for a reason. Good riddance.
Ding, Ding we have a winner. All these wild conspiracy theories fall flat when you think of the logistics. You think the military will obey Obama in the case he was stark raving mad? Don't count on it. This is the same reason Marxism will fail, we may flirt with it but ultimately through alot of pain and sacrifice it will fail. We just love our IPODS and flat-screen TVs and when the Sally and Joes realize the state will prevent them from having it, Obama and his like and his phantom police force will be out on their keisters. The ivory tower academics are more scared of you than you should be of them. I mean hell they can't even run a Cash for Clunkers, you think they can efficiently run a police state..please
Since the Sheriff has nearly absolute authority in his given county, your statement is appropriate.

I read all about the OathKeepers in an article on Drudge early today.
The American military is not out of control, nor would it do the will of this government against We the People.
INDEED! You know with reading about all the various centers of Resistance to Zero only ten months into his presidency, I’m beginning to see a golden - once in a century opportunity - to rid this country of Leftard parasites if comes to a revolution.
As many have noted, eastern Canada was largely populated with Tories kicked out of the USA after the first revolution.
Which gets me to thinking...the American Leftards would be more happy in Canada..and that vast country, which is larger than the USA, could really use another 20-30 million people.
I see a win-win deal for everyone! We agree not to shoot or imprison our traitors, and the socialists of Canada get another batch of pinkos who would just love the single payer health system in Canada.
REVOLUTION!!!!
I’ve got a List...

Noy exactly a manly pose in that photo -
“I’m still trying to determine how much Obama wants some kind of violence as a justification of taking further control.”
If he goes slow enough, like frogs in a cook pot, an ambivalent/unaware America will allow him to gain it, as he is now, without any need for justification.
Violence would only help expedite things.
Good point. I was thinking about that just after reading his post. It will fall on deaf ears with NS.
