Oath Keepers - Oh the irony!

I noticed some time ago, a new blog site called the ‘Oath Keepers’. There are a couple of comments I wish to make about this. The first is that I wholly support this effort. For the military and law enforcement personnel to stand up and recognize just what it is they swore to do is splendid and should be encouraged. There is, of course, a however: I wonder how many of them really mean it?

I was reading the page entitled ‘Oath Keepers: Orders we will not obey’, and I hope they stand by this. It is an interesting read, but down in the comments, there is a comment by ‘straightarrow’, who asks a number of very pertinent questions. What are the oath takers going to do in cases like the Ryan Fredericks case or Corey May? Good questions and I see that as yet there is no response to them.

There are other questions of course; What about ATF (Always Think Forfeiture). Will the oath takers leave this illegal organization, prosecute the thugs that operate there when they see them break to the law that is the Constitution? No I don’t think they will.

Will the oath keepers take the 2nd Amendment in its literal form ’shall NOT be infringed’? Will they prosecute me if I have a faulty AR15, just like Mr Olofson? Or maybe if my shotgun barrel is a quarter inch too short as per Randy Weaver? Perhaps they’ll just round us all up anyway, if we demonstrate against government policy without a government permit? (what first amendment right? Oh thats right, the one the government grants you….)

At this point I guess you are wondering where the irony is? Well, you’ll notice that the blog is in part supported by SWAT magazine. Now if there is ever a group of oath breakers and jack booted thugs, its the SWAT team, and that right there is your irony.
