The nation is gripped with coronavirus panic, but there is also fear about what is going to happen to our freedoms and our economy once the crisis is over. This pandemic has taken its toll on the United States and that is not lost on conservative actor Chuck Norris, who published an Op-Ed for WND on Monday wondering how long it would be until we were under martial law. The actor said he believes in “being prudent and also being peaceful” but, he added, he had “tough questions” to ask. Norris said he was concerned by the growing lockdown orders and curfews being enforced by law enforcement limiting citizens’ movements. “If the need for citizen confinement grows, and the restrictions increase, where does it end? And what excessive burden are we then placing upon law enforcement to corral even half of Americans (150 million)?” he asked. TRENDING: Frmr Obamacare Chief Pushes Panic, Tells 360K People Hospital Is Out of Ventilators - It Wasn't “And if even the smallest transgression of confinement restrictions ends up being a misdemeanor, how will officials handle tens of millions of them?” Norris pointed out that if police are expected to enforce the curfews, they too could become stricken with coronavirus And if that were to happen, not only would the hospitals be overrun with police officers, but there would also be fewer people to enforce the lockdown. But what is more frightening, as Norris stated, is that if the lockdown lasts for five weeks or longer, citizens could fight back. “How long can we allow Americans, who are a freedom-loving people and patriots, to be under ‘lockdown’ in their own homes without working?” Norris asked. “Many scientists and specialists are even now calling the federal government to a five-week national lockdown? Do we expect the majority to simply comply? Will they have the resources and wherewithal to go the distance without resistance?” These are frightening questions, but the fact is that American citizens are used to being free and they are now being subjected to draconian restrictions on their liberties. State governments have taken control of the lives of millions of people, telling us where we are allowed to go, what time we have to be home and whose jobs are essential to the state. Normally, taking that kind of control of a nation would take a war, but no one fired a shot and we handed over all of our rights. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who you may remember from his promotion of ninth-month abortions or his blackface scandal, has closed churches in his state. Is there any American freedom more fundamental than the right to worship when and where we want to? No one is saying that some restrictions are not needed, but to many, it appears we have given the government too much power too quickly. Americans are playing along for now, but the question is how much longer are they going to allow these infringements to stand? And is the government going to “give” all of our rights back after the nation’s mayors and governors have spent a month acting as kings? That should never be a question we have to ask in America. But it may be the most important one. We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism. Read our editorial standards.

Chuck – Never fear for the Oath Keepers will be Near. Or will they? I have read nothing about the Oath Keepers in years. Have you – Deckard? Please let me know … I distinctly remember at the time that they were your glorious warriors united to protect us all from the immediately impending dastardly actions by the U.S. government when it was preparing to commit all nature of atrocities against we the citizens. You used to give me hell in those olden days for continuing to expose them for what they were and calling the attention to everyone that they had been labeled as one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the U.S. at that time. Was it you who was spreading the hysteria about the Jade Shield Operation in Texas and how the Oath Keepers would protect us all? I think so … Ah, “those were the days my friend” – a different fear-mongering rumor from you each day. Wait … It’s the same thing you have continued to do throughout these many years – and what you are doing today … Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? And of course – Deckard also knows. And you can bet that he will continue to tell you – each and every day …
From Deckard's thread I did not conclude there was any mention of Oath Keepers. The inferred point of that thread reads here: Norris pointed out that if police are expected to enforce the curfews, they too could become stricken with coronavirus
The full op-ed by Norris makes no mention of it either. Will coronavirus lead to martial law? Gatlin is desperately trying to discredit Norris as well as the author who wrote about him. Why? Who knows - but it is SOP for the disinfo-bot Tater.
Goldilucky: From Deckard's thread I did not conclude there was any mention of Oath Keepers. Deckard: The full op-ed by Norris makes no mention of it either. The full Op-Ed by Norris also makes absolutely no mention either of what she said: Nowhere in the full Op-Ed by Norris did he point that out. Did it, Deckard? And I tried to point out to her that Norris did not point that out and remind her that what the full Op-Ed mentioned throughout its entirety was merely “martial law.” What Gatlin is “desperately” trying to do is find out if the Oath Keepers are still active to “protect us.” And I figured if anyone would know, then you would. I asked that of you because I remember that you once knew all about them and fully supported their strong stance and willingness to fight against “martial law.” So, I ask: Is it as that we should “never fear for the Oath Keppers will be near” or not? And as I said to you, “I have read nothing about the Oath Keepers in years” and I ask you again: “Have you.” I ask this in no way to “desperately discredit Norris as well as the author who wrote about him.” Consequently, Deckard, I continue to ask if you know if we can rest assuredly that the Other Keepers will be here to fight against martial law as you once so desperately tried to assure everyone that they would? Is the reason you will not answer the question that you don’t you know if they are still around, or is it that you are too embarrassed to answer or find out? Or “all of the above?” Why do you find it so difficult to address my desperate cry out for assistance to find out who will protect us against the martial law that Chuck Norris sees may be looming in a not too distant future? A fear that he so strongly holds in that he had to write an Op-Ed on WND to share with everyone. So, sport, if Chuck Norris fears it – then … Open Question: Respectfully … BTW – Good morning to you both.
What Gatlin is “desperately” trying to do is find out if the Oath Keepers are still active to “protect us.” And I figured if anyone would know, then you would. Gatlin could easily look up that information on his own. We all know that.
Gatlin could easily look up that information on his own. We all know that. Gatlin know this. But Gatlin would find no humor in doing that on his own whereas he would fail to continually point out that you support this anti-government American organization associated with the militia movement and once viewed them as your almighty Savior. Respectfully …
Of course, to you they are anti-government - to you and the SPLC. Any person or group who stands for the Constitution must be a suspected terrorist hell-bent on taking over the country, right? Groups like Oathkeepers exist thanks in part due to cowering sheep like you. As far as viewing them as my almighty Savior...Just more of your delusional bullshit.
Those are YOUR words from Post #3. When you tried t kick my ass for bringing up the Oath Keepers. I just substituted SPLC for Oath Keepers and fed them back to you. And now here you go bringing up the SPLC which again, appears no place in the article. Touché – A word “used as an acknowledgment during a discussion of a good or clever point made at one's expense by another person.” Moving along … Where have I ever said that the Oath Keepers are anti-government – Show me. You cannot – you definitely cannot because I have never stated that. You are of course right about the SPLC – Only saying that the Oath Keepers are anti-government is probably the nicest thing the SPLC could ever say about them. The ADL has equally as bad thngs to say about the Oath Keepers. But who cares what these slimy groups have to say about anything – Anybody? Not me! But … Let’s take a moment and see what the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has to say about the Oath Keeps. Specifically one of the members. Now mind you, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is not some asinine SPLC or ADL shooting of at the mouth. The Star-Telegram in an article published on 2/28/2020 had this to say about the Oath Keepers – Shocking – Absolutely shocking … There other damning stories out there …

Your quote: You used to give me hell in those olden days for continuing to expose them for what they were and calling the attention to everyone that they had been labeled as one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the U.S. at that time. ***** Perhaps the most preposterous accusation is calling the Oath Keepers “anti-government”. When the organization was founded, only actual Oath Takers (law enforcement & military) were considered full members. By their very nature, the body of Oath Keepers was made up of men and women who still are or were EMPLOYED BY THE GOVERNMENT. I am the current Constable of Hood County, Texas – Precinct 2. I am a public servant OF the government. Neither I, nor the Oath Keepers as an organization, are anti-government. The U.S. Constitution, the document this organization holds as sacrosanct, is the foundational document of our GOVERNMENT. The definition of Militia, according to Webster’s Dictionary is: a. a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in emergency b. a body of citizens organized for military service 2. the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service The Oath Keepers is not a militia organization. Most members of the organization could be considered as potential members of the Constitutional Militia, but it has no association to their membership in Oath Keepers. All able-bodied male citizens in our country make up the Constitutional Militia, to be called upon in times of need. There are also many members of Oath Keepers that would NOT be considered potential members of the Constitutional Militia, because we welcome many disabled veterans and peace officers among our membership. While the Oath Keepers, as an organization, is not part of the Militia, we don’t consider a legally organized militia as a negative. Militia is not a bad word. The founders considered the Militia as an integral part of the defensive structure of our nation.

Does anyone know if the Oath Keepers are still active and ready to perform their declared duty?

What Gatlin is “desperately” trying to do is find out if the Oath Keepers are still active to “protect us.” And I figured if anyone would know, then you would. A person who saves someone or something (especially a country or cause) from danger, and who is regarded with the veneration of a religious figure.

… and the SPLC.
Nowhere does that term appear in the article. Chuck Norris wrote the article.
Try to stay on topic … Of course, to you they [the Oath Keepers] are anti-government - to you and the SPLC. The Fort Worth Star- Telegram is a large U.S. daily newspaper serving Fort Worth and Tarrant County, the western half of the North Texas area known as the Metroplex. It is owned by The McClatchy Company. The Star-Telegram’s circulation area is the Fort Worth/Arlington metro area (four counties) and 14 surrounding counties. The newspaper's primary market is the four-county Fort Worth/Arlington metro area, as well as the Dallas and Fort Worth suburb of Grand Prairie. The Fort Worth/Arlington metro area is the western part of the fourth-largest U.S. metropolitan area, the Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington Combined Statistical Area. Fort Worth/Arlington ranks 29th most populous as a metro area. A paranoid militia [Oath Keepers] infiltrating Texas police is bent on rebellion, ‘ready to rise up’ –
