I know the term gets thrown around a lot these days, but this treading into the waters of treason. You do take an oath at MEPS stating: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." These sword-rattling militiamen certainly qualify as enemies of the Constitution. I'm glad I haven't seen any of these idiots out here, around Camp Pendleton.
There will always be a few who subscribe to treason, either intentionally or because they're too ignorant to know what constitutes treason (more than a few of those here on Digg, obviously!). I hope something is done about this particular treasonous activity. Um, it's wartime, isn't it?
Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, was a frequent and vocal critic of the Bush administration. All your spinning does nothing to change the fact that the Oath Keepers are not "anti-Obama"--they're pro-Constitution.
