I've been meaning to write a piece on this 'oathkeepers' bullshit. My friend and i have been discussing this. It sort of started with a lot of well-intentioned folks always lauding and promoting the idea of oathkeepers and how "it's important to be respectful and getting the cops and military on our side... They arent all bad, we need to wake them up, etc." This may be a mature, 'gentlemanly' (dare I say NAIVE?) position to take, but I have a hard time buying it.
SORRY, but a pig is a pig and this almost being mesmerized by the 'all-powerful important officer', we need them on our side? F them, they've never been on our side and only an idiot would be so deluded!
If they were anywhere near ''our side'' (whatever that even means), and pledged an ''oath to the CON-stitution", they wouldnt take a job making their living enforcing the very tyrannical petty and immoral ''laws' which people are prosecuted for every day. Roadblock checkpoints with no probable cause, cell phone tickets, speed traps, seat belt tickets, snatching peoples kids 'backing up' CPS nazis, the phony drug war, tyrannical code enforcement rules, etc. etc. and any other number of countless petty police state nonsense, the enforcement of which pays these 'oathkeepers' salary.
There's something about grovelling and begging a bully punk to 'please be nice to us patriots, take and read these oathkeepers cards' that is REALLY distasteful to me.
To each their own, I suppose. I will end with some important links from LibertyFight.com which are related to this topic:
