They're a bunch of chickenhawks. Its makes total sense that they'd be critical of people who'd defend the Constitution over who ever is in power at the moment (assuming of course they're the ones in power - ref: PATRIOT ACT).
As I read that, I had to shake my head and wonder what kind of upside down world that "officer" came from. Half-truths, outright lies. The devil has power to deceive even the very elect.
And then I tried to read through some of the so-called "comments". What a head-scratcher.
"I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me"
Here is "the meat" of the oath as I see it...
"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... ...according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
IMHO, this SOB is violating his oath by writing this garbage.
democrat operatives or not, they come from the left wing. most of them are straussians. the bbc did a pretty great documentary on their colossal f*ckups in recent history, and where it's all coming from: the power of nightmares. free download. also you can just look it up on youtube.
"...we’ll put aside for now the mindboggling assertion in Lexington/Concord was precipitated by an attempt to 'disarm' Americans."
Reality:
"On the night of April 18, 1775, General Gage sent 700 men to seize munitions stored by the colonial militia at Concord, Massachusetts. Riders including Paul Revere alerted the countryside, and when British troops entered Lexington on the morning of April 19, they found 77 minutemen formed up on the village green. Shots were exchanged, killing several minutemen. The British moved on to Concord, where a detachment of three companies was engaged and routed at the North Bridge by a force of 500 minutemen."
So what's the counter to that "mindboggling assertion", because from here it appears that the author has both a deficit of historical knowledge and a hyphen phobia.
Remember, fellows, that Barak Hussein Obama received a plurality of votes in the last election. I simply mean to point out that OUR point of view is in the minority and people like the person who wrote that pernicious piece are in the majority. It will be a rough row to hoe, and we will feel VERY alone. Be ready for it.
If you look at the history of the neoconservatives - who, incidentally, are now calling themselves "conservatives - they are really disillusioned liberals. People who believe in the tyranny of too much government but don't buy into the socialist methods of putting that tyranny in place.
As for the whole "conservative" label, I consider myself a paleo-conservative. I support the Oath Keepers. If I were to say that over there, they would probably brand me a "hippie" or "libtard" and say that I'm not really a conservative. I'm not going to waste my time. There's something definitely wrong with the Republican party, the so-called conservatives running the show at RedState, and this country in general. A storm is coming and its approaching fast.
There will always be "Good Germans" in the military who want to do whatever they're told and cobble together some rationalization that lets them sleep at night.
In order to be successful, Oath Keepers doesn't need to reach everyone. Only enough in the combat arms to make the the outcome of ordering, say, mass weapons confiscation too unpredictable to be worth the risk in the eyes of those who would plan such things.
Another thing to consider is that our adversaries for the most part are morally bankrupt, intellectually impotent, and lacking in will. If Oath Keepers attracts enough people, even those who might have otherwise "just followed orders" might disobey unlawful directives just to go along with what they perceive as "the crowd."

Ugh. I registered there, so I could leave a comment (and I was even going to be polite), but when I tried, I got an error message (to paraphrase):

Why am I surprised--of course they'd have a "waiting period."

ReplyDeleteCorrect. Your choice in a typical national election is between a Democrat and a Violent Democrat.

TJP, my guess is that this neo-con's "mind" (I'm apparently in a generous mood at the moment) is of the easily boggled variety.

He hasn't experienced malignancy until he tries to convince me that defense of the constitution is wrong, providing he does it within arm's reach.
ReplyDeleteBut, of course, they never do that.

This stunning statement absolutely floored me:
ReplyDelete"we’ll put aside for now the mindboggling assertion in Lexington/Concord was precipitated by an attempt to “disarm” Americans"
What rock has this fool been hiding under?
I've been monitoring the comments there. Curent count is 282 Comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd the author, Streiff, is clobbering back.
It's interesting to read. You have to wonder how serious certain folks take an oath.
