    Bored blogger "infiltrates" Oath Keepers, finds out they're harmless

    http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-things...militia-group/

    What a waste of time, couldn't he have just sat at home reading their websites? It only cost him $40 to learn the media's been lying about Patriots and liberty lovers.

    Not at all a positive article. Makes them sound crazy. I hope all Oath Keepers aren't conspiracy nuts like this.

    These people are hardworking Americans who don't know where to turn and feel that their shortcomings can be attributed to a system that's rigged against them.

    The Oath Keepers are angry, lost, sad, confused, and frustrated. They're clutching their ham radios and screaming at the midday sun that "left-wing" and "right-wing" are just opposite ends of the same ugly bird.
    The more prohibitions you have,
    the less virtuous people will be.
    The more weapons you have,
    the less secure people will be.
    The more subsidies you have,
    the less self-reliant people will be.

    Therefore the Master says:
    I let go of the law,
    and people become honest.
    I let go of economics,
    and people become prosperous.
    I let go of religion,
    and people become serene.
    I let go of all desire for the common good,
    and the good becomes common as grass.

    -Tao Te Ching, Section 57

    Well, no wonder they're confused! The "left-wing" and the "right-wing" are actually the same end of the same ugly bird.

    The blogger apparently is alien to the term "regulatory capture".

    All OKs are not conspiracy nuts, what he described above is true, you don't have to believe it, but it's not conspiracy theory.

    "left-wing" and "right-wing" are just opposite ends of the same ugly bird.
    Since when did this statement of absolute fact become a "conspiracy theory"?

    It depends if you think it is deliberate or just the nature of people.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    This is from Cracked.

    They're a liberal bastion of idiocy masquerading as a humor website.

    What else can you expect from them?

    Of course they're harmless. If not, we would have seen a few fulfill some oaths by now.
