2. Oathkeepers is a dangerous group.

They are a militia bent on taking all power for themselves. Highly unlikely that they can success, still they can cause problems.

7. They're a traitorous bunch of assholes.

Teapers with attitude and many in the military and police forces.

I had it out with one last year on another site. Pissed me off enough to follow him to another site when he refused to answer my questions. Their "oath" is to disobey orders if they "think" they are unConstitutional and to kill fellow servicemembers/cops if necessary. Constitutional scholars, they ain't. Hate them more than I do teapers and Cons. That's sayin' quite a bit.

9. Seeing that some in the police and military services have joined them is decerning.

This is potentially giving the kooks access to weapons and training they otherwise would be hard pressed to find.

4. For what it is worth, the debaters are Extremists too, so it all works out fine and dandy

I remember the days with the Republicans explicitly distanced themselves from the John Birch Society.

6. The John Birch society is having the last laugh on all of us. Their conspiracy theories

are becoming far too mainstream in both the far right and far left.

8. Know what you won't hear tonight?

Any solutions to fix this country's economy, that doesn't begin and end with more taxcuts.
