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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
