As a conservative I’m truly offended by this nonsense. This type organization, seemingly equal parts Walter Mitty and the black helicopter crowd, enables the left to lump all opponents of Obama together into a lunatic fringe that will then be studiously ignored.

There is absolutly nothing in the ten points mentioned that so much as faintly resemble this. These are prior and active military and law enforcment personel that are putting it on the line daily.

A few jerks made up a load of krap about Rush as well, then played "Holier than thou" with the resulting echos that bounced throughout the media. I see this being no different. I also see the author getting beat up at that site by other commentors as well. I am reading several of his replys and he is actually kinda off the deep end.

example in reference to the Revolutionary War...

Streiff Wednesday, October 21st at 7:03PM EDT (link) it is discussed downthread in detail. There was never any attempt by the Brits to disarm Americans.

Both Eisenhower and Patton were Majors and MacArthur was a General and chief of Staff in 1930 or ‘31, when the WWI veterans gathered in D.C. for the Bonus March. They put it down with violence and a good number of the Bonus Expeditionary Force were killed and maimed in the doing. Not sure about a strike at any time, but they should have been jailed right then and there for THAT action. US Troops against their own. This was under Hoover and he rightly did not stay in office after that term, as he WAS the responsible party; he was the boss.

In proclaiming the Constitution to be a “living” document, they mean to kill it off.

No, Murtha is an EX-marine. The Commandant should take his sword away from him. Then offer him a pistol, one round, and the opportunity to “do the honorable thing.”

This Streiff would seem to need that sort of treatment as well.

"No, Murtha is an EX-marine."

You're right, of course. Sorry about my terminology.

UPDATE: I originally posted this reply last week. Hate to say I told ya so, but I said below they are creating a fake pandemic crisis in order to gain more power and control over us. Now look what Oba-Mao did late Friday night (how convenient to do it over the weekend) by declaring a national emergency over this bullshit flu! Anyway...keep your eyes open folks...they will be doing more of this in the near future for sure! Here’s my original reply to this article:

I couldn’t disagree more with whoever originally wrote this! For one...smallpox? Are you kidding me? That has basically been irradicated, and if something that lethal did break out we wouldn’t need the government to quarantine us because anybody with any sense in their head would quarantine themselves. This government wants sweeping laws in the event of something as weak as this H1N1 flu to create a fake pandemic crisis. Then they will enter our homes without warrant and it’s not to vaccinate us...it’s to take our guns! This whole thing is about trying to disarm the American people and that’s why we will not break our oath to the constitution.
Secondly...armed insurrection...well hell, there better not be, or the president and our military definitely aren’t doing there jobs. And if that was the case then an armed American populous is the next best thing and we would fight them and beat them! That’s the beauty of the 2nd amendment...we’re armed to the teeth and that’s why no “insurrection” would ever occur. However...this brings back the issue of my first point...this government and the international governments are creating laws to disarm us through UN and WHO rules where foreign soldiers will be allowed during a faked crisis or pandemic to seize our guns.
Thirdly...if the previous 2 situations do occur I will personally blame this obama character, because at that point it will be abundantly clear that he has violated his oath of office and to defend our constitution (which I believe he has already violated many times up to this point, but that’s another matter). When he violates his oath then we who have taken an oath or who otherwise as American patriots swear to defend the constitution and our country have not only the right but the responsibility to fight all enemies foreign or domestic...and at that time it will be clear that obama is a domestic enemy of the United States. So in no way would anyone who has taken the oath be breaking it by ignoring anything this worthless piece of garbage says whether still president or not.
There is absolutely nothing that is un-American about what the Oath Keepers believe in. On the contrary, it’s people like them and the rest of our patriotic citizens who are more American than this Marxist, Socialist, Communist loving “president” and all his radical Commie friends who are destroying this country from the inside out. They mean to destroy our constitution, our rights, our freedoms, our economy, our jobs, and our power as the number one nation this world has ever been lucky enough to have.
Americans know what’s going on and that’s why groups like this are and will be essential to preserving the freedom of America because this government has most definitely shown us that they hate this great country of ours. If this keeps up a day will come when we will have to go into action to defend America right here on our own soil. Hopefully that day will not come. Hopefully our military will take obama out and he will be put on trial for treason and be impeached. Then we can go to work to rebuild America the way it was meant by the words of the constitution and we’ll never let this travesty happen in our country again.
