What Happens When You Mix Oath Keepers and AK-47s?

Never a dull moment with Oath Keepers, the self-styled patriot group we profiled in our March/April issue. The latest episode involved an interesting little standoff in Tennessee between state troopers and Darren Huff, a Navy vet and gung-ho member of the group. (Oath Keepers, consisting largely of current and former soldiers and police, urges members to disobey any orders they deem unconstitutional—such as orders to confiscate citizens' firearms, herd people into detention camps, or harbor foreign troops on American soil.)

In this instance, Huff wasn't exactly standing down. Talking Points Memo reports that he was pumped up over an earlier, April 1 standoff at the Monroe County courthouse in Madisonville, where Tennessean and former Navy officer Walter Fitzpatrick had tried to conduct a citizen's arrest of Grand Jury foreman Gary Pettway. Fitzpatrick is a leading member of the Birther group American Grand Jury, which seeks to have President Obama indicted for treason, arguing that he is not a US citizen and is thus serving illegally as commander in chief. (Obama was also once a CIA operative, AGJ claims.)

So anyway, Fitz showed up, more or less made a nuisance of himself, and got himself arrested—which was probably unnecessary on all parts. But to fellow AGJ leader Carl Swensson, the authorities had crossed the proverbial line in the sand. In the video below, he calls upon all who took an oath to uphold the Constitution to march on the courthouse. "This man put his life, his honor, his fortune on the line for us in very much the same fashion as our founding fathers did," Swensson implores. "And this is it. This is the moment in time that you who have been on the fence must get off of that fence. Please, go to the courthouse en masse.…I ask you right now to honor <[your oath>]. Get down there. Get him out of jail." ..........(more)

4. Ka-Boom (my answer) BTW, the Oath Keeper's IQs are identical to the caliber of their AK-47s
The Oath Keeper's IQs are identical to the caliber of their AK-47s, Or about 30 (or 22.3 with some ammo) The 'geniuses' in the right wing have IQs equal to higher caliber ammo like the Colt 45, or M-60 machine gun. Still, no numbers high enough to escape the 'moron' level.

IQ SCALE:

Normal .......... IQ 85-115 (no way in hell!!!)
Deficient ........ IQ 71-84 (president ? LOL)
Moron ............ IQ 51-70 (Right wing radio & television 'leaders')
Imbecile ......... IQ 26-50 ('Intelligent' Tea Baggers)
Idiot ............... IQ 0-25 (Average Tea Bagger)
