I am a strict Consitutionalist. If it was followed by our government officials et al, , we wouldn’t need Oath Keepers. i.e. If I’m not mistaken prior to Dwight D. Eisenhower becoming president he followed a presidential order to order our military to stop an auto worker protest. In that action there where a few auto workers shot dead by our own military. Constitutionally speaking, both Eisenhower and FDR should have been charged with murder and sentenced accordingly. Then there is that 1913 thing by Colonel House et al re the income tax, the Federal Reserve, the IRS etc............. In the USA of today, the Oath Keepers are necessary.
Allow me to illustrate the LIBERAL FALLACY of this pinheads argument....
FIRST: I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
What this means is that the CONSTITUTION COMES FIRST!!!!!Not the president, not the congress, not some pinhead political hack or some idiot officer who cant make it in the real world.....( on offense to any officers out there Im ex enlisted and yall know how the old saw goes....)and that I will defend MY COUNTRY against aggressors from other countries and from within this country. Ahem That means that not all enemies are easy to spot and some may even be fellow country men. Soooo as OBUMMER is destroying this country..... he is an enemy of this country... domestic for sure.... so far he has not done anything overt to show his true colors.... but he will and when he does.... god help us all.
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
What this means is that the constitution is the law of the land and that it is the only law which counts.
and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me,
only after the constitution is considered does the president and any officers come into consideration. This buffoon mentions the UCMJ. Well lets see..... the UCMJ is the law of the military and insubordination is right in there for sure along with failure to obey a LAWFUL order. The thing about the oaths.... is that each one of them would be considered an UNLAWFUL order according to the CONSTITUTION. And such orders would be illegal and subject to question by ALL personnel.
This moron probably thinks that taking that oath makes enlisted men and Officers into unthinking mindless drones... how droll. With the witch hunts that are conducted by congress? We are always thinking, always looking out for each other and always on guard.
I pray to GOD everyday to protect those still in service. And to make the Officers over them intelligent and cautious. The congress and president also take oaths of office.... I have not seen ANY of them take those oaths seriously.... ever.
Both Eisenhower and Patton were Majors and MacArthur was a General and chief of Staff in 1930 or ‘31, when the WWI veterans gathered in D.C. for the Bonus March. They put it down with violence and a good number of the Bonus Expeditionary Force were killed and maimed in the doing. Not sure about a strike at any time, but they should have been jailed right then and there for THAT action. US Troops against their own. This was under Hoover and he rightly did not stay in office after that term, as he WAS the responsible party; he was the boss.
