Experts who track extremists say the loosely organized groups can serve as a gateway to radicalization — and in extreme cases, that can lead to planned acts of domestic terrorism such as those described in the Michigan plot. Some of these groups deny being anti-government extremists. On the Three Percenters website, the organization states: “We are NOT a militia.” But a consistent thread among such groups is the idea that people should be prepared for an armed struggle against the government. |

I am so sick of these bed-wetters characterizing the 3%'ers and Oath Keepers as 'extremists' and 'radicals.'
They are nothing of the kind. the 3%'ers are not anti-government, they are anti-renegade-government. Same for the Oath Keepers. The latter are, in fact, active and retired military and law enforcement, who take their oath to the Constitution literally. It isn't window-dressing, it's the real deal.
Radical? Not anymore than those 'radicals' who bequeathed us, through sacrificed blood and treasure, the freest, most magnificent country in global history.
Calling them 'radical' is insulting, and not worthy of respect. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
