3. "Oathkeepers" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Edited on Mon Apr-12-10 01:49 PM by file83
There are the "oathers" - those are the people in office, police, military, etc., who swore to support and defend the Constitution.

Now, many of those people have not upheld their oath, as you said.

The fear now is that if martial law is enacted, that those very same "oathers" might violate Americans' Constitutional rights.

To counteract that, there is a movement to REMIND the OATHERS of their oath. That movement is called "Oathkeepers".

It's a good cause, and it is spreading fast. It's an education campaign to teach all these people what their oath really means.

So for you to say "fire the oathkeepers" is counterproductive to your complaints.
