The Washington Spectator for July 1, 2010 made mention of the Nevada Republican primary which was won by Sharron Angle. She beat the GOP establishment candidate and will now face Harry Reid in November. She is a Tea Party candidate and is also defined at a member of the "Oath Keepers", a "national political cult". I googled the organization for more information. They are a "right wing patriot" organization whose membership consists of military, former military and police members. They are pledged to protect the Constitution by refusing to obey orders from the federal government they consider "unconstitutional". They are preparing for the day President Obama "declares martial law". So says Mother Jones magazine. They were founded by Steward Rhodes-a former staffer for Ron Paul-in March of 2009 with a membership that may be 200,000. Dave Love, writing in The Progressive says the organization is "concerned about a coming dictatorship, concentration camps, and a 'New World Order'. And they regard President Obama as 'an enemy of the state'". (More research will be needed)
