Black and red and angular -- gives me the creeps, very reminiscent of symbols of the SS and the national socialist party.

I may be alone in that reaction; would be interested in how others respond.

[let-them-eat-cake]

I've got a bad feeling about this little project.

[fundiefan]

My stomach just churned.

[darkplumaged]

Oh, the HUBRIS! That site looks and reads like a parody, and yes, the logo is creepy.

Kelly should be embarrassed to be married to such a bombastic twerp, but I'm sure she's just soooo proud of his new venture.

[JesusFightClub]

It just looked like a security firm logo to me at first. They always look kind of aggressive. But now you mention it I can see it...

How much does he like the sound of his own name? ;)

[Letgo]

I think he is pretty fond of the sound of his manly name. If I were to put MY name on an organization, however, I would desire and purpose to develop a well written introduction. Mr. Bradrick does not appear to share these goals.

Me too.. although I don't really know what it is supposed to be all about!

[maybeizfundie]

Wow. Ick. Don't like that at *all*, and yes it is reminiscent of some of the worst dictatorial governments symbolism (ironically, some socialist and communist ones, lol)

Maybe that's the new "manly" color scheme and style?

[MonkeyMomma]

Yeah, that's a little creepy. In fact, the whole thing looks pretty creepy.

[browngrl]

I've got a bad feeling about this little project.

Yes, me too.

[gustava]

Rabid anti-government, Christian, paramilitants. An army which Peter can call upon to overthrow the ebil government. This is no different that paramilitary hate groups...just a bit slicker. Christian Reconstructionist attitude. Site is intended to frighten "manly men" into joining so they will no longer be afraid, and so they have a good excuse for running around with their penisguns.

[slickcat79]

I think the font gives a bad impression. It looks kind of like what you'd find on an old-style propaganda poster. Plus I can't really figure out what the symbol is supposed to be...maybe if it was some sort of stylized B it would make more sense.

The photos and their taglines scrolling across the screen kind of give me a shiver. I really think he wants to form his own militia or sorts, in the guise of a "security company". Hey guys, we can't trust the government, so come join Bradrick's army instead!

[clibbyjo]

When you join, you get cutting edge communication.Does this mean a cell phone to call 911?

If you join, you become a member of "the A-Team". Really? I would prefer Mr. T showed up to Peter and his laughable brotherhood of protectors.

This is so funny, I cannot see anyone forking out money for this scam. If they do, they deserve the cell phone and prayers Peter gives them while he is cashing their check to take Doug on another manly mission.

[Kitchen Princess]

I think someone should report them to the ATF and the FBI and Homeland Security.

[formergothardite]

There was a time in America when homes were safer. Men were bolder. Communities were tighter. And policemen were friendly and fewer. There was a time when every household knew it was responsible for protecting itself and looking out for its neighbors. Men in communities relied on one another to be there if crisis called.

When exactly was this time?

ETA: I am greatly amused that if you google Bradrick.org, this thread comes up right below the website.

Oh, you remember, formergothardite, that was during the Vietnam War civil rights movement Great Depression women's sufferage movement Civil War...oh, screw it :doh:

[jockosmom]

What blog/site is this? I tried looking up Bradrick but I'm just getting Bradrick Family Farms.

"They were a band of brothers protecting their country, we are a band of brothers protecting our homes"

How fuckin' DARE he describe his little band of wannabes in the same breath as the men who fought in World War II! It makes me regret that the surviving original "Band of Brothers" are all close to 90. It would be most salutary to see them uncork some whoop-ass on Peter and his poseurs.

*Edited to prove that I CAN spell salutary

"When you join Bradrick you join a society of REAL men"

What am I married to, an android?

This is actually pretty common for militia and some of the more paramilitary-oriented survivalist type groups to try to do. They usually fall apart within less than a year because everyone wants to be a leader, but the whole "private army as security group or community defense" has been done to death, and the ATF, FBI, and watchdog groups are well aware of it and tend to keep an eye on them. (Seriously guys, if you want to do this right, get registered as CERT, do some useful shit, and play paintball on the weekends to indulge your warrior fantasies).

My husband & I knew some guys who tried this a few years back. They were all about keeping it men only, too, and he told them he wouldn't join anything I couldn't. Irony of ironies, I had a side job at a school that taught firearms & preparedness courses and ended up being an instructor for 2 different courses some of their people signed up for. I totally rubbed in the whole "you could have got this for free, but didn't want a woman involved" thing. Of course, they fell about about 4 months later because they decided it'd be a great idea recruit from some groups of people who were already sketchy and to allow convicted felons to go to the gun range with them.

Gee whiz, I assume they are planning to protect the fatherland?

That's what it looks like Wendy. Also, Brotherhood of Protectors gives me the creeps. Seriously, usually I can laugh at the fundies, but this actually kind of disturbs me. It makes me think they're going to form some sort of gang and go around violently attacking those that don't agree with them.

I'm... really glad I live in Canada...

[formergothardite]

You get inside, uncensored live security updates. You get cutting edge communication tools. And you join the grassroots groundswell of men taking back the ground they’ve lost to apathy and big government. Join BRADRICK!

So what are they going to do, listen to police scanners and then call everyone on their cutting edge cell phone to tell them there was a robber near their home? Our local news is pretty quick on announcing when somebody dangerous is on the loose, so I think I could do this for free.

ETA: Wow! They have 679 people who liked this on FB.

[clibbyjo]

I live across the street from a country police station. I have 2 huge dogs and a rogue bear roaming the woods. I think I will stick with that over Peter's big joke.

Seriously, don't most of these yay hoo's live in the boonies? Who is going to rob one house in the boonies when they can do a bunch in the city. By the time anyone got there, the robbers would be long gone.

Yeah, Peter's plan is going to work great.

[Witsec1]

So, he figured out a way to found a paramilitary group AND con people into buying information that is available for free or near-free. The only thing that is missing is calling it a "ministry" and getting non-profit status. Maybe he will figure that one out. Then he will have the perfect fundie business plan.
