Hold it, David, Mike! Just a damn minute here. Nobody is nastier and meaner to pragmatists and other traitors than I.
However, Jokers Wild hasn't voiced an opinion on liberty or standing for it or even an opinion on the Oath Keepers. I admit he may have been remiss in not researching the founders of Oath Keepers and their past proven loyalty to the republic and to the oaths they have taken. While admitting that, it is not a horrible slander or crime to wonder if our enemies wouldn't have done much the same thing for just the purposes he has stated as a posssibility.
I also admit, he hasn't really thought it through, or he would realize that even if his scenario had some legitimacy, the response to Oath Keepers would have made any nefarious purposes that could be attributed to it self-defeated.
All we can hold against him is that he didn't think it through. We can't really accuse him of cowardice or disloyalty to the republic and its principles. Nor can we accuse him of any evil intent. He may be a neophyte, just awakening to the dangers plagueing the republic, and just not be adroit in navigating his way through all the issues, yet.
But for Pete's sake, let's give him a chance before we get so emotional we respond to something he didn't say. And if that something he didn't say, is something he should have, then let's inform him. If he fails on principle, or integrity or courage we will know and have plenty of time to boot him. Right now, all we can accuse him of is ignorance, and that can be fixed.
Let's try that first.
Sheesh, I never thought I would be the coolest head in the room.
