What kind of nation have we become?
The American Thinker ^ | April 09, 2010 | Robert Medinger

One of our leaders took an oath and confessed he disregards it on video.

"When you take an oath, you hold your soul in your hands and if you break that oath, you open up your fingers and your soul runs through them and is lost." -- Sir Thomas More:

These words echoed through my consciousness as Representative Phil Hare from the 17th district of Illinois uttered the amazing words "I don't worry about the Constitution on this," when referring to the recently passed health care bill. The question put to him was: where in the Constitution does it give you the right to pass this bill?

Oaths are meaningless when you don’t believe in God.

I would say the Democrat party has taken more of an omerta than an oath.

Here is what the Bible says about OATHS - JAMES 5:12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.

What kind of nation have we become? One that does not have eyes to see or ears to hear; one that lacks understanding and wisdom.

We have negeleted the Way and now we will reap what has been sown. We did not hold onto the truth; naturally Satan is taking advantage of our lack of wisdom, is corrupting the truth, and turning it against us.

James 5:1-6 - Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.

Oaths are meaningless to those who 'interpret' the meaning of is. . .
