Traditional Americans are losing their nation

In the brief age of Obama, we have had "truthers," "birthers," tea party activists and town-hall dissenters.

Comes now, the "Oath Keepers." And who might they be?

Writes Alan Maimon in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Oath Keepers, depending on where one stands, are "either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia."

Formed in March, they are ex-military and police who repledge themselves to defend the Constitution, even if it means disobeying orders. If the U.S. government ordered law enforcement agencies to violate Second Amendment rights by disarming the people, Oath Keepers will not obey.

"The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here," says founding father Stewart Rhodes, an ex-Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer. "My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can't do it without them.

Some of us now proudly carry the label “Tenthers”...

IMHBDAO, this is the only route out of our present morass,
coupled with an appeal to the Almighty, of course.

Oath Keepers to my knowledge constitute anyone who has an obligation to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Obama's keepers are students of history. They understand how to divide and conquer. Study the history and employment of Janisaries by the Ottomans. Turning Christian young men against their own. That is how they think.

I am a proud Oath Keeper, and I’ll fight any attempt by any government official to abrogate any rights protected by the Constitution; most notably the first and second amendments.

The most important role of the Oath Keepers is to remind active-duty military and law enforcement personnel that their first duty is to the CONSTITUTION, not to whatever politician might currently hold office.

Like a stopped clock Pat is right twice a day.

Now if he can only link this all somehow to an evil cabal of Neocons and the Global Zionist Conspiracy....

I suspect that Pat actually likes the Obama Administration’s new policies towards Russia. He has advocated them in many past editorials.

They see a government in Washington that cannot balance its books, win our wars or protect our borders.

Bingo

It’s not that they cannot, it’s that they won’t and they won’t listen to us who fund them, their actual bosses.

“Popular nullification” sure sounds good to me.
