The comments on that oathkeepers article are insane. A quick glimpse at the other things they believe:

quote:

had the same question as a new member. From what I have seen in this country, I think they would be in for a very big surprise. I have another question — for over a year I watched spraying over Arizona whose trails were explained to me as “contrails” — Having spent 4 yrs in the USAF as a Weather Observer, I called that BS. Do we know who was spraying what?

quote:

American men did nothing when laws were put in place to destroy the education system. American men have done nothing to stop illegals and muslims from living at their expense. American men watch ball games as the muslims train in Jihad training camps, like in York County , South Carolina. Do you really expect American men to act to stop the destruction of this nation???

quote:

Well Hagar, the waking up process is well underway, an as a Bundy ranch vet, Sugar Pine Mine vet and as one of the Malhure occupiers, I can take some credit for ringin the bell. We do ACT ! and our actions have electrified thousands. Our spirit and camaraderie is infectious…..catch the virus…

Thank you, mr one enlistment weather observer, for promising to uphold the oath in the event Barack Obama finally executes his plans to put us in FEMA camps like we've been hearing the last eight years. I feel safer.

And not all American men do nothing while the jihadis train in South Carolina (lol). Some drop nine grand on tricked out ar15s and xxxl armor vests

I'm surprised that any colleges or civilian certification degrees accept any military tech school training and probably military technical training should be considered a liability and require remedial courses in the civilian world.

You know, I officiated my Canadian citizenship a few years ago because I thought I mine as well do it while I still could, I no longer had a job where I would have to explain it to my boss, and it might be nice to have the option to move there or retire there one day if I wanted a change of scenery.


Now I'm starting to feel like it was the best decision I ever made.

From the same speech, given in 2014 to a church group:
“This threat to America,” is from [to his credit] a minority of Muslims “who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer.”

“They abhor Christians, and will continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ is our savior is truly the only solution for our world.”

He thinks Obama specifically and the left generally want an Islamic state, and that there's a muslim behind every bush, so think Joe McCarthy in charge of the CIA in the 50s.

The holy war bit comes from this slate article:

Me either but I'm going to assume it's bad since even though my dad has always been pretty technically proficient he still can't figure out how to some of the most basic things on his Android smartphone.

Controversial statement: hiring anyone born before 1975 to lead the charge on cybersecurity is probably a bad idea.

America's Mayor self-serving oval office is getting a cyber security job from Donnie. But his personal site is run on an un-updated content management system, so he's essentially being a bad role model for cyber-security. It's the equivalent of hiring someone who has their personal computer running Vista and it's full of porn viruses.

Not just small business. Friend of mine just hopped jobs and in his exit interview he mentioned as one of the reasons he left that the plant manager used other managers to do things like pick up his kids from school because his wife didn't like driving in bad weather.
