Obama: New US Citizens Can Skip the Part of Oath That Includes Defending Country
Gateway Pundit ^ | 07/22/15 | Jim Hoft

Under Obama America is becoming a country without borders. And now it’s becoming a country without loyalty or commitment.

US Soldiers take the oath of citizenship at Camp Victory in Baghdad in 2007.

Barack Obama’s US Citizenship and Immigration Services on Tuesday announced they will no longer require new citizens to pledge to “bear arms on behalf of the United States.” It doesn’t fit with Obama’s vision of America. The Examiner reported:

US Citizenship and Immigration Services on Tuesday said it will no longer require incoming U.S. citizens to pledge that they will “bear arms on behalf of the United States” or “perform noncombatant service” in the Armed Forces as part of the naturalization process.

Those lines are in the Oath of Allegiance that people recite as they become U.S. citizens. But USCIS said people “may” be able to exclude those phrases for reasons related to religion or if they have a conscientious objection.

USCIS said people with certain religious training or with a “deeply held moral or ethical code” may not have to say the phrases as they are naturalized.

The agency said people don’t have to belong to a specific church or religion to use this exemption, and may attest to U.S. officials administering the oath that they have these beliefs.

“I wish the media would wake up.”

The media is awake and doing everything they can for their god-king.

They’re his biggest cheerleaders.

In fact, they can skip everything and go directly to the welfare benefits offices and the voting booths.

An oath taken by such a person is garbage anyway.

Any oath taken by a Democrat is a waste of air and a waste of time. And the Republicans saw this and said to themselves that if the Democrats can do it and get away with it, by golly, so can we! For example before taking office or becoming officers of the law they raise their right and say,”I do solemnly swear or affirm to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States......” . With absolutely no intention of doing so. As evidenced by their actions.

230 years to build and 8 to tear down. This was a nice America, while it lasted.

Probably eliminating objections some Muslims had to becoming US citizens to obtain the legal right to vote. Now they will be able to get citizenship and vote even though they want to wage Jihad in America. Isn’t America great!/s

Strange since they need foot soldiers to fight the perpetual wars.

Yikes! I’ve said that more than once. Every time I do, people avoid me as if I let out a really stinky fart. But it just seems like a no-brainer. Why do we continue to fund the people who are using our money to destroy the country?

Why do we continue to fund the people...

Over 2 billion rounds of ammo possessed by the government outside of the military.

Immigrants no longer required to pledge to defend the US if they have religious objections.
OTOH, if their religion encourages them to behead Americans, no problem. Come on in.
Ok, got it.
