We could and should win the battle to get back to our Constitution through the ballet box. The many millions of oath keepers that swore to defend the Constitution could do that by bringing these things to light and and not voting for and instead working against those that would subvert our Constitution.

How about some new focus on keeping a Constitutional Republic in our nation? Our founding father and writers of our Constitution established the Constitution to prevent just such tyranny that we are seeing taking over America today, but our veteran oath keepers main focus is now on their social calender. They lost what should be their top focus and they are now mainly focused on flag waving parades, bingo and beer. These groups today are majoring on the minors. However, it seems the main focus of these veteran groups is on themselves, and being politically correct, and what they can get from the Federal government. They should be speaking with a united voice against the enemies of the Constitution in Washington. The abuses against the Constitution are legion but where are the defenders of the Constitution that took a oath to defend it? Where is the voice of the active military veterans, the voice of the American Legion Veterans, the voice of Veterans of Foreign Wars, the voice of the Disabled American Veterans, the voice of the Vietnam Veterans of America and many others. With all the oath keepers in the United States why is it that politicians are passing laws that are obviously circumventing our Constitution with Its Bill of Rights? I could cite many examples from the Federal Reserve control of money, to hate speech laws attached to a defense bill, to proposed federal government mandated health insurance, to federal judges legislating from the bench, to Executive Branch czars not approved by the Senate or accountable to Congress, to federal environmental laws, to taxpayer bailouts of multi-national corporations and banks, to federal government running roughshod over states rights.

It does not say that you can give some obvious enemies a pass so that you can be politically correct and not endanger your own career. If you notice, the oath is chiefly about supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. I, ( NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of ( STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ( STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations.

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 and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In case anyone forgot here is the oath you took. "I 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.On this Veterans Day I think it is time for us veterans to remember the oath we took to God and country to defend the CONSTITUTION from all enemies foreign and domestic. The vice president-elect takes a slightly different, longer oath, which is also utilized for members of Congress and some other federal employees: In 2013, President Barack Obama took the oath using two Bibles, one owned by Abraham Lincoln and the other by Martin Luther King Jr. Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible for his first inauguration. John Quincy Adams took the oath upon a book of the law. According to ABC News, George Washington reportedly added the words "so help me God" to the oath, and it has been since included by every president except Theodore Roosevelt.Īll but two presidents placed their hand on a Bible while saying the oath, according to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
