Liebermann: "American citizens swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic." Huh?? Is he referring to ALL citizens or naturalized ones??

Actually, it might not be a bad idea for all children born in this country to have some kind of "American Conformation" or American Bar Mitzfah" where they have the same kind of moment that a naturalized citizen has when they do the loyalty oath. Maybe they would have a better idea of what they have, and how they got there.

Well, they used to say the Pledge of Allegiance and learn all about American History and the workings of American Government in school, back before the leftists took over.

And if they didn’t want to take the oath, what would we do with them? Not allow them to vote or run for office? Seems like a good intention turned a little too Orwellian.

Stronger civics courses would be required for many to understand the oath they are undertaking - since many politicians take a similar oath they never intend to honor.

Listened to the re-broadcast of Liebermann, suggests leaving it to the State Department to determine who's a terrorist and be stripped or Constitutionally guaranteed Rights.

Because there is crime and terrorism, American citizens should lose their rights. Liebermann is sounding like a domestic enemy of the Constitution himself.

Once upon a time, high school juniors would take government and civics classes and learn about the US Constitution

Yea, I know the retort from many on this string...... Liberal teachers twisting the truth and revising history. Personally, I was lucky to have a good teacher.
