[Presbyterian Reporter]

Does anyone but the military have to take this oath?

“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

If non military employees do not have to take an oath defending the Constitution, then it is obvious why Napalitano is buying armored vehicles and billions of rounds of ammunition. Her minions are not required to defend the 2nd Amendment.

AFAIK, all Federal employees have to take this oath. I know I did, on my first day as a Fed employee.

Grow unemployment and there is your desperate civilian Army Obama has so glowingly talked about.

You know the one...civilian Army that will be stronger and better equiped than the current regular, true military.

It's the 1930's again.

Gov't buys up the guns and ammo, confiscate the ones that they can get (for Civilian Army) and there you have it: 1984 AND the Caliphate.
