Preparing children to take up arms against their own government. What's more "patriotic" than that?

Learn how to survive any catastrophe, keep your family safe and be prepared to defend the Constitution. We will teach you what you need to know to survive, how to live off the land, how to purify water and how to handle firearms. All this training is free of charge. We ask our members to supply their own gear (and we'll let you know the most important things you will need) Without patriots who can survive, the Republic could not be restored if it vanished! God Bless the patriots who NEVER forget what it means to be in a Free America! 

We all know that anything can happen. After 9/11 lots of Americans woke up to the fact that anything is possible here. After Katrina, we learned that you can't depend on the Government to take care of your needs,. Also, we are STRONG believers in the 2nd amendment. There is no negotiating the Constitution of the United States. We believe our founders created the greatest nation on earth and only the Progressive movement has slowly whittled that down. NO MORE! NOT HERE!

Young boy is upset because his sister has the gun he wants to carry. Fortunately Thomas the Train is still his friend.

Shirt says "I'm willing to die to defend my 2nd Amendment rights. Are you willing to die trying to take them from me?"

Here is the part of the group's Mission Statement that I find more than a little troubling: 

Our goal is to teach as many patriots as possible to be ready to protect against, defend against, and survive any natural or man-made disaster. It is also our goal to teach these same patriots to survive in order to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemy threats, either foreign or domestic.

Look it is one thing to play in the woods and pretend that you would not crap all over yourself at the first sign of the actual military moving in to take you out for treason or sedition, but it is quite another to teach these impressionable young children that law enforcement is their enemy and that they should feel ready to kill a Federal agent if they don't like the laws that are passed or the rules that don't allow them to do any damn thing they please.

Those who say that parents know best when it comes to their children are ignorant of the kind of abhorrent parenting that often takes place in this country.
