wow I had no idea these nuts were doing this

Believing that there is a movement to take away the right to bear arms is not unexpected when you read what many of the politicians in Washington say in their speeches - militias have been a part of our history since before we were a Nation.

I do not believe groups like the Oathkeepers are the answer to our nation's problems.

I wouldn't want groups like this outlawed, because I think they could potentially be valuable, and I can't find anything wrong with their being against internment etc., but...it's still creepy.

Thank You again, There is so much candy media dominating the media until this real steak slipped passed me, I never heard of this until today.

The group is a bit disconcerting.

Everybody has the right to express their opinions, which is what makes our country so great. While I do not agree at all with the "Oath Keepers", I don't think they should be outlawed. This has had no impact on my opinion about the second amendment... we should, without question, have the right to bare arms!

Revealing!!!

We do not need these types of groupes that is why we have police and the military! I was never in the army but my dad was in for 27 years and I feel very close to the armed forces. Groups likes the ones in the video will cause trouble and costs lives.

The Oath Keepers sound like a new type of cult. Even though I don't agree with the President or Government about every issue, I'm not going to try and "over throw" it or form a group. This group really should be watched carefully. I would be afraid of them. When people are brainwashed, they'll literally do anything.

I support free speech but I do not support inidvidual members of the armed forces given the right to pick and choose the orders they would follow. I also support the right for an individual to keep and bear arms.

Thanks for showing this video. Didn't know they existed. They certainly bear watching.

Thanks for the chance to voice my opinion about a very important topic, which is under assault heavily by the present administration. Many attempts have already taken place, and numerous members of the administration have openly opposed gun rights. Thank you

these groups should not be outlawed--but should be monitored

These so called oath keepers are no better than the clan, or any other group that tries to impose their ideas on others. They do nothing but create chaos, and hatred!!

I think the Oath Keepers need to be dealt with now before something bad happens.

This is actually a very unfair view of their work. While I agree that extreme groups should not exist-as an American-I would not and will not stand idle while our rights are stripped away-or refuse to ever come to the aid of my country. Having said that-I have no intentions of going out to take over the country, endanger our way of life or to disregard our president as long as they are within the constitution.

I want to keep the right to keep and bear arms but not for radical purposes only for protection of family or for hunting to put food on the table.

I found it very interesting and alarming.l

I have mixed feeling about the Oath keepers. The concept is good but it is mixed with imperfect people as we all are.

This is not 18th century or 19th century. We do not need armed force group wandering around with dangerous intention to pick and choose which law they will follow

For shame...this is the greatest nation in the world, and people like this are dangerous!!

I do not directly get involved in those kinds of organizations. I am 100% neutral.

Very interesting survey. I'm glad to know that there are organizations out there that think of the "what if" situations involving our government.

I appreciated learning about the Oath Keepers and their views.

never heard of the oath keepers

Interesting stuff... but a little scary.

Would need more info before forming an opinion on the oath keepers.

I don't believe radicals should be allowed in this country , but i will not take away a right granted to us by the constitution.

sounds like this group means well, only time will tell, maybe they have our backs if the crap hits the fan. they need to be watched carefully

I find this very interesting - I was one of the 300 cited in this survey, yet my comments about the survey were not shared in this forum. Perhaps it was because I questioned the biased nature of the survey. Can you say thought police?

This film intentionally combines images of the lunatic fringe with actual Oath Keepers who are soldiers and members of paramilitary organizations like police and fire fighters in order to manipulate the opinions and perceptions of viewers. Those offended by Oath Keepers RENEWING their vows to uphold the constitution of the United States, should take immediate action, contact your representatives and sign petitions to immediately stop ALL United States Soldiers, police and fire-fighters from swearing this oath when they enlist as it is REQUIRED BY THEM ALL!)

Erm... I don't know if any of you here realise this but, the heros who fought and died at the FOUNDING of our country were...erm MILITIA MEN.

How many of you here realise that, in addition to the National Guard, most STATES have their very own VOLUNTEER militias who serve at the pleasure of the GOVERNOR and not the Federal Government in the event an emergency or if the Federal Government needs to be put down because it has become a rabid dog? Can I get as show of hands? 2... maybe 3 of you? Yeah...I was afraid of that. Okay you can put your hands down now.

Here is a link to my State Militia website: http://www.sdf.alabama.gov/default.htm (note the pretty little .gov)

This is what the Southern Poverty Law Center and friends would like to see banned so that government--unopposed--can do as it wills. Those guys (so poorly and clearly edited) who were making vows? Was anyone objecting as they made the Oath to Defend the Constitution from All Enemies Foriegn and Domestic on the day they signed up for the Army, Reserves, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, ANY paramilitary agency like the Fire Dept., Police Force?

No, I didn't think so. What you are upset about is that they are REAFFIRMING that oath and actually setting out to DEFINE those acts that they may be called upon, or have already been called upon, to carry out that violate their oaths to defend the U.S. constitution.

Did you know that our soldiers, who swore to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, were ORDERED to VIOLATE the constitution during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina? YES! They performed unlawful searches and seizures, confiscated the weapons of law abiding citizens and forced them from their homes even though their homes were NOT in a danger zone. This deeply disturbed a large number of our soldiers. Here they are in their OWN words AS IT WAS HAPPENING:

THAT dear people, is why these men are doing this. In recent years, our government has begun to overstep its bounds more and more. (Don't rely on my word, get off your arse and look around...just a little and you will see what is happening in the world for yourself.) As observed by our founding fathers, it is the nature of government to grow and subjugate...but it is the duty of CITIZENS to keep government firmly on its leash. Like fire, government is a useful tool, unleashed it is a terrible master!

If you are a member of these guys: http://www.cpusa.org/ or a sister group... Don't bother talking to me--I have read YOUR agenda--Communist Manifesto--and I disagree with it as much as you disagree with my constitutionalist agenda. I know...you hate the Constitution, you think people are too stupid to govern themselves or even take a poop without government oversight, big brother loves you, blah blah blah--point taken! (P.S. The Chinese Government called to say they refilled your prescription of "BLUE pills" so hurry back!)

To the rest of you who may actually think the constitution, America, and the principles of the Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington are pretty cool then...You guys are the victims of propaganda here. Why don't you research just exactly what the oft quoted The Southern Poverty Law Center is all about? Look at their agenda by looking at their funding, their bias and their laundry list of political actions. It won't take more than an hour of serious exploration and you will get the picture. (I think they like the blue pill too!)

EVERY living human being has an agenda. I have an agenda too. My agenda is to protect MY "Unalienable Rights"--a few of which were listed in the Declaration of Independence. You should read that document--really! It is an AWESOME read! Pretty simple agenda no? You wanna give up your freedoms? Be my guest! Plenty of other political systems in the world to choose from--I'll help you pack! Just leave America alone because it is unique and we freedom loving, personal responsibility taking freaks would like to have just one place on earth to live because we are tired of being eventually imprisoned and / or executed by all the other regimes.

Define YOUR agenda and then try to ferret out the motives of EVERYONE else you listen too--including me. You need to know what YOU believe in your heart INDEPENDENT of everyone else. Only then will you learn to question the motives of all around you and find who you can REALLY trust. DO NOT get your facts from only one source. Don't stop at two either. Fact check everything a half dozen times or more. The truth is hard to find people...that is why it is so prescious!
