Mutinous? I think so. You see, the Oath Keepers, of which this Charles Dyer cat claims to be a member of, have this as their mission statement:
Below is our declaration of orders we will NOT obey because we will consider them unconstitutional (and thus unlawful) and immoral violations of the natural rights of the people. Such orders would be acts of war against the American people by their own government, and thus acts of treason. We will not make war against our own people. We will not commit treason. We will defend the Republic.
Umm...an organized and coordinated plan to refuse to follow orders? Last time I checked, this term came up in my UCMJ knowledge.
Mutiny? Yes. Mutiny.
Look pal, if you have issues about orders, there are avenues of redress. But an organized and coordinated plan based not on an abusive or insane Commanding Officer, but (apparently) solely on the fact you do not like who is in charge? NO. FUCKING. WAY. A long time ago, I took a fucking oath to serve the fucking Constitution, and this shit will not be tolerated. This shit will not be allowed anywhere near where I stand. And if I were still in the military, I would have pushed for any Oath Keeper to be arrested on the spot for being involved in an activity as such (besides, I would be arrested if I knew of such a plot and did nothing. But that's another issue for another time).
No. I will not tolerate mutiny or sedition. This Constitution and Republic have a way of cleansing itself without criminal fucking activity. Any asshole who takes the oath and then involves themselves in what appears to be a mutinous endeavor needs to be sent away, for they have violated their commitment and oath. They have violated the Republican (not the party, but the system of government) process, the process that can and will fix itself. And they are of no use to those of us who wish to save this country by legal and electoral means.
Get the fuck out of my sight, Charles Dyer and the rest of you folks associated with him. And stay away from my military.

I'll be in my room, watching the "California Highway Patrol officers mug little old lady to confiscate her gun" portion of 'Listening to Katrina'.

I would have bet money that I had heard about them before last year, but their blogspot blog started 3/09 and Wikipedia claims the same, maybe it was just talk, less organized or maybe I'm just wrong (gasp!).
That makes it worse. I don't trust Obama at all but I don't think he deserves that response.
Especially since these people already swore an oath to the Constitution, that pretty much covers everything.
I also don't trust people, rather, I do trust them.
To do stupid shit.
So we have a bunch of people who are all torqued about defending the Constitution.
What happens when some of the more militant decide (rationalize) that the Constitution needs saving before the rest of the country thinks that?
I don't know if Heinlein said it first, but this is spot on from the story, "Gulf", "Man isn't a rational species, he's a rationalizing species."
People talking about Mutiny scare me. It rarely ends well.

I think Crooks and Liars found some Alex Jones type and propped him up as your "typical" oath keeper.

Yeah, some of those testimonials had that air to them... I don't know the only experience I've had with the group is their TV appearances and my friend in PD; and I know he isn't that way. The only thing that really grates on me is LEOs who haven't served calling people civilians like its derogatory. I received a ticket from a kid probably no old then 23 who kept doing that through the whole process. When I had enough I asked him if he had a DD214 in his record and he didn't even know what it was.
oh, and a little off topic; SFPD SWAT has a 240B, but yeah I get your point about Mil/LEO.

I understand what you're saying, I think Oathkeepers were partially created in reaction to the illegal gov't seizure of personal legal firearms. Nonetheless, the system ultimately worked, or is working. The NOPD shouldn't have done what they did, and New Orleans is gonna get reamed in the ass with a sandpaper condom in a class action for civil rights violations, assuming they haven't settled for a pile of money already. The system is still working, not great I'll grant you, but it's still working.

Last I had heard was earlier this year folks were only just getting some of their guns back. A lot are still "missing"...

Yeah, and I can guarantee if they can't come up with those "missing" guns, they're gonna either hand over a pile of money to replace said guns, and pay for damages, both in property value and emotional damages (because undoubtedly people lost heirlooms because of the NOPD's stupidity), or the NRA's legal defense fund or some civil rights attorney is going to come down on them like the fist from an angry God.

The left has been calling him that -shame on you for just repeating it.
He spoke at a tea party and gave an oath ceremony as did dozens of other people. A standard speech and general oath were placed on the old OK blog, inviting any veteran to read it off and swear in the crowd.
He was one of them.
By the way, it is absolutely illegal to obey an unlawful order.
Getting attacked on all sides for wanting to uphold the constitution. I wish my husband had never started this thing.
