Officer's Oath Change?

We should take a lesson from the NRA on this. What has gun advocacy got to do with it?

This: Since the beginning of the liberal’s holy war against the second amendment, the NRA has counseled supporters to be sure that their arguments, especially in letters to editors, etc., are absolutely factual. Shading the argument to “spin” it will result in a loss of credibility much greater than any short term advantage.

On the other hand, virtually every public pronouncement or statement by any leading group or agency opposing second amendment freedoms is either based on willfully biased data or, if based on factual data, misrepresents the conclusions of the related study. Anti gun groups routinely encourage the use of focus group tested loaded terms, describe semi-auto weapons as “machine guns” etc.

To check the accuracy of this, try to find a SINGLE example of a “study” reported on by “Brady [fill in latest name] group,” VPC (Violence Policy Center) or any other group funded by the Joyce Foundation — that both cites an unbiased study and presents the study’s conclusion(s) honestly.

I would be willing to bet a bottle of very good 12 year old scotch that there is no such example.

OOps, hit “post” too soon. The point is this “oath to the president” thing is probably a hoax. Obama would like that, but it is too clearly analogous to Hitler’s loyalty oath to be believable. As much as Obama parallels Hitler so far, he is too smart to reveal it this clearly, this early.

First, my apologies to all currently serving active duty.
My list above should have startred with:

1. The Armed Services would not participate in such a reswearing.

What would happen if an officer refused such a new twist on the Oath?
“That person would be dealt with by officers who had taken a somewhat different oath.”

I am confident any officers that had taken a different oath would be vastly outnumbered.
