If you look at the document under the heading of "extremist traits", all but two of the items are right out of the anti gunner or progressive playbook.
The American people are not allowed to know DOJ's or DoD's secret interpretation of the Patriot Act. This information shines a bore light on the issue. We need a multi-million candle power search light on this un-American policy. The cockroaches in both groups need not fear; we're not going to get it. This policy alone will not destroy us. It is the complacency and apathy, in which it is accepted, that is driving us toward tyranny.
"That's right--the military is being trained to think of the Founding Fathers as being akin to Hezbollah or the KKK."
Somehow I don't expect this to go over among the troops very well.
Ed, thanks for that Kopel article. I was agreeing with everything in it until the very end when I came to this naive statement: "When there is genuine evidence of potential danger—such as evidence that guns are in the possession of a violent gang—then the Fourth Amendment properly allows no-knock raids, flash-bang grenades, and similar violent tactics to carry out a search." I hope Kopel has rethought this tyranny-promoting position.

David Kopel wrote about our Founding Fathers vs. the British. It is worth a read:

The case for the Oath Keepers has always been strong.
It will be stronger when they actually do something concrete.
