Amen.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sorry, but all of our elected and appointed decided for us that we didn’t need to uphold the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

The struggle unfolding now is to restore it.

[rjsimmon]

Great thoughts, Col. At every promotion, I recited my oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Upon my retirement, there was no oath rescinding those previous oaths.

[Vermont Lt]

Have at it then. Lead the revolution. I am sure there are ton of folks who would line up behind you.

You wouldn’t be the first LTC to try.

[mountainlion]

I have taken the oath of office about 5 times. I was never released form it so it is still in force. If I was a politician it seems that I would be expected to violate the oath and if I took the oath seriously I would be punished. The oath is only enforced against peons.

I hear that there is something like a war powers act that suspended the Constitution.

[M Kehoe]

The oath I took 40 + years ago is still in effect...until the VA puts me in the clay.

When I raised my right hand and swore my Oath to honor, respect, preserve, and protect the Constitution of the United States, I considered it a sacred and lifelong vow. Without the rule of law we are nothing, and have no future beyond the plans that the one(s) with the most money and power have for us. I, and many others who have sworn the same Oath, are/were willing to give anything and everything to honor our pledge.

The Founding Fathers knew that without a belief in God, the 'new' American Constitution, would not last. As Americans move further and further away from God, an oath becomes meaningless.

When senators refuse to be 'sworn in' using a Bible, and instead use an NFL rule book, a koran, a sports illustrated, or a roll of toilet paper, the Republic is over.

We patriots that have sworn the oath, will watch the end, we may fight {a bit} but like all other forms of government through out human history, the majority is too {stupid, lazy, complacent, weak, gutless, wimpy, etc...} to again fight a much needed revolution.

The Roman Empire lasted 500 years, the USA, with our original intent and Constitution, will not make 300.

I will be long since dead, but I have little hope for the youth of America, including all of my off spring.

Sad.

One cannot break an Oath
Without breaking one’s self

An Oath to God can
ONLY be released by God

[HangnJudge]

I am under the Hippocratic Oath
I know Precisely what that means

Being Faithless to that Oath lowers one to pond scum

[fella]

Excellent

[Teotwawki]

I took that oath when I entered the military. It was not rescinded when I was exited so as far as I’m concerned, it is still in effect.

....against all enemies, foreign and domestic

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Col,

Like you, I have sworn that oath too many times to remember the count. I adhere to it this day and respect all oaths. I gave an oath to my wife more than 30 years ago and still uphold it as well. However, even in the military it seems that the oath is no longer sacred. Witness the picture below:



I know they all got punished for this, but who in that room thought it was a good idea to begin with? I remember how proud I was when the Soviet Union fell and thought I was a part of that. However, more and more I think it was a bad idea, that was now 26 years ago. We have a generation that is now adults who never knew about the Cold War and communism. As the old proverb says, as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. We as a country are soft because we don't have an existential threat. Yes, Islamo Fascism has to be defeated but it's not the same as the possibility of being annihilated. Since we don't have existential threats our concerns are if homosexuals can marry or to have compassion for a guy who thinks he's a woman. Silliness.

[BuffaloJack]

If you don’t fight for the things you stand for, then you really don’t stand for them.

[infool7]

Oath’s are based on trust.

trust is based on morality.

immorality leads to distrust

distrust leads to chaos.

What is an Oath?

"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

[loveliberty2]

The oath of office required for representatives of "the People" was intended to be sacred and binding, because that oath is a vow before the "Sovereign" of the Universe, and its violation carries penalities both human and Divine. President George Washington described it in this manner:

"Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths?"

For an amazing history lesson and sermon by the Rev. Benjamin W. Arnett, readers might want to visit the Library of Congress and read the entire text of his Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, paying special note to the excerpts below which discuss and describe the nature of the oath:

From the Library of Congress: African American Perspectives: Pamphlets from the Daniel A.P.Murray Collection, 1818-1907

Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon delivered in the Year 1876 by Rev. B.W. Arnett, B.D., at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio

CENTENNIAL THANKSGIVING SERMON

Excerpt from P. 31, in which he is discussing the Declaration of Independence:

"We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare: That these United Colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, and in a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." - JOHN HANCOCK.

Arnett continues:

"And the names of the whole Congress followed. You see that there is Divinity in this immortal document. Can we find in the "Articles of Confederation" anything to support the position that the founders of this government intended that it should be a nation for God, and that his religion should have a place in this land. It says: "Whereas it hath pleased the Great Governor of the World to incline the hearts of the legislatures we respectively represent in Congress, to approve of and to authorize us to ratify the said Articles of Confederation and perpetual union." Thus we find this assembly thanking the Governor of the world for inclining the hearts of men. Who can move the hearts of men but God? But we find them in reverence bowing to the Governor of men.

"We now call your attention to the Constitution of the Nation and let us examine that instrument in the light of the men who formed it, and we will see that this was intended to be a Nation founded in Righteousness and Justice. What does the instrument say on this subject:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"Article VI says: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall be required as a Qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

On Page 37, Rev. Arnett described the nature of "oaths and affirmations" as follows:

"Oaths and affirmations are appeals to God, by him who makes them, that what he has said, or what he shall say, is the truth. It is the most solemn form under which one can assert or pronounce anything, and its violation is a crime of the darkest hue; one which God has declared he will punish; one that is made infamous and punishable by fine and imprisonment, by the laws of the land. Thus Christian obligation is required of every officer of the general Government, who fills any position of trust, honor or emolument. Many reports are required in the form and shape of affidavits."

[grcuster]

From my initial oath I swore in ‘76 and four subsequent oath pledges later I still affirm to uphold the constitution.

In now the kalifornia takeover of kolorado, the elected are pushing laws to undermine the rule of law to impose their socialistic agenda on the free people. Its sickening to see their immoral public attempt for their allegiance to only turn like a rabid skunk.

[Retvet]

Democrats with no true values don’t understand what giving hour word. In other words they don’t know whatyou taking an oath means. Plus remember they really are a organized crime syndicate.

[TMN78247]

To my knowledge, NONE of us was ever released from the oath that we took when we joined the US Armed Forces.
Thus I believe that the oath bound us together as brothers & sisters to SUPPORT & DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN & DOMESTIC remains in full force & is still binding on each of us for our Earthly lives, who are/once were GIs.

Yours, TMN78247
