Nifty thing....

There is an oath a soldier must take, and that is to defend the constitution of the united states against ALL enemies, foreign, AND domestic.

This comes in priority before the part stating that I wil obey the orders of the president of the united states and those officers appointed over me.

I love it. If the president gave an order that blatently violated the constitution, he would be relieved of command if this were followed to the letter...

Anyone know anything about the Patriot Act? Bush would have been thrown out of office back in 2001. In fact, i can't think of many presidents that wouldn't have been thrown out in the last century.

It makes me happy to see soldiers realizing that oath...



:smile: Too bad it is a hoax:smile:


If it is a hoax, it would be too bad, yes.

I haven't actually investigated this issue, so i don't know. But, to hear any soldiers speak of this oath makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside...

Umm...you do realize what i was saying is that states are merely trying to reaffirm their soveriegnty right?


the states have no right to soverienty. they are not nations unto themselves.

I don't think secession is the issue. But states do have the right (at least some states) not to adopt certain Federal Laws. For instance, the legal drinking age in Louisiana was 18 until the mid 1990's.


other than in d.c. there is no federal drinking law. most laws are reserved to the states. and there is no state that can elect not "to adopt certain federal laws". u.s. law trumps all state laws. just look at medical marajauna in california. a private citezen can legally grow pot in some municipalities if it's prescribed by a doctor and yet he is subjecting himself to federal procecution if the attorney general so decides.


And this is largely what is wrong with this country...

USED to be states had more rights...

I believe that there are a lot of troops that are loyal to the people, but don't believe for a second that obamadolf is legitimately president, much less their commander in chief (did you miss that they are finally forcing him into court to prove it?) I have heard enough of what the troops have to say, when out of earshot of big brother, and that is why I believe that they would be more likely to revolt and fire on obamadolf than innocent citizens.
Saw some pop off that if the president had a "reason" for the order the troops would have to comply, and about laughed myself right out of this chair. Are we supposed to go along with the same kind of "reasons" mic-hell-e used when hiring that huge staff we are paying for? Or any of the other excesses? Seems that after he has already proven that he and his "woman" (looks like a man in drag to me, seriously) have already proven they are incompetent to represent us (that apology crap was over the top) and just want to spend money hand over fist ON THEMSELVES while screwing the majority of us into poverty, the idea that the troops would back him is laughable. They do have family here, and I think that far too many forget that they could also being suffering from the obamadolf regime. Many of their parents, and fellow soldiers due to injuries suffered serving this country, will be amongst those on Social Security that he is already denying increases for 2010 AND 2011 (telling us he has no hope/intention of straightening out the economy). THAT sure isn't going to increase loyalty.
