Hundreds of current and former soldiers and police made a pilgrimage to Lexington and Concord, the site of the opening rounds of the U.S. Revolutionary War. to reaffirm their solemn oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic…

This is where it all started…..and it’ll start all over again ! Many people died to give us these rights that we have, many in my family alone ! Do you really think I’m going to let anyone take them away from me, my children, grandchildren ! Hell NO ! I will die trying before I cave in !!! I’m 72, a woman, and got my CCW last year, and will use it to protect my house and land ! I worked all my life for what I have, NO ONE gave me anything…..I WORKED FOR WHAT I HAVE ! So I welcome “1776″ all over again !
@mountaine you are a true American and I’m with you all the way as are many others. Congratulations on your CCW permit! (I’m scheduled for my class next month.)
I hear you…and I too feel the same…I will fight and die trying to defend our Constitution…I am purchasing my guns every few weeks and as much ammo i can get my hands on. I want to be ready along with my other fellow Americans. I rather die for a good cause then be a Sheeple or pacifist.
I’M a Vietnam combat vet and when i went into the army i took an oath to up hold the U.S.Constitution and i stand by that oath to this day and if anyone comes and trys to any of my weapons the only thing they will get is what comes out the front of of my rifle and it sure as hell not water.
Yes, I agree. I, too, will fight and die for my country. It’s better to die than to live under tyranny. We need to stand up and fight for our freedoms again for the sake of our future generations. God Bless the USA.
I think that it’s a terrible thing to have to say that our leader and president, obama, who should be setting an example, violates every law and violates the constitution constantly. He should be arrested and tried for treason. He is not one of us.
Thank you everyone for wanting to defend OUR COUNTRY and OUR CONSTITUTION. I am 62 and also have my gun and ammo ready. If I die I would rather it go for saving our lives and our country. Lets all demand for our representatives to demand obama go under psychological examination. If you ask me he is as unstable as Hitler and Stalin and if so should be institutionalized for life. I took my Oath some 42 years ago and as I said would die to protect it!!
Reality Check: A handful of communist insurgents, a few of their dupes, in a few of our towns, battling against 300 million with as many guns. Our time is best spent laughing at them, starving their credibility, while they shrivel on communism’s vine…Semper Fi
“. . . .against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. . . ” We have a domestic enemy among us, and that is part of the oath I took at 17 – meant it then, mean it now, at 50. I will defend MY Constitution, MY rights, MY property and loved ones, to my own death.
If the military REALLY WANTS to do their rightful duty THEY WILL REMOVE THAT ABOMINATION IN THE WHITE HOUSE ! That IS their true duty ! If the military refuses to do their duty then it’s up to he PEOPLE !
But then the military is also in need of arresting for FAILURE TO DO THEIR OATHED DUTY ! EVERY TIME THEY OBEY OBAMA, THEY COMMIT TREASON ! He is NOT the ‘President’ of the country – only of the DC Corporation. He has NO power, jurisdiction or authority outside of those DC borders ! NOT even a real President does. The States did not create the DC govt so it would “RULE” over them ! The States are who have the power, not DC ! The ONLY power DC has is what they have unlawfully GIVEN
THEMSELVES ! That makes DC null and void totally ! They are all guilty of TREASON – time to build the scaffolds !
jetboatman: “institutionalized for life”??? The last I knew the penalty for treason was a rope.
Let us not forget: none of this….NONE….would be possible without a compliant Congress. THEY are
in this coup d’etat as well. (all but a few outspoken patriots)
Maybe 1,000 people in govt (all 3 branches), banking (incl the international Bilderbergs), corporate moguls, lobbyists, those in the media….are focused on destroying a nation of hundreds of millions….for their own selfish advancement.
Liberals/left-wingers/leftists just LOVE to dictate to everyone else (self-proclaimed INTELLECTUAL ELITE)
but hate to have restrictions dictated TO them (the Constitution).
Perhaps the ones that bitch loudly when Concord Bridge comes to WashDC should be rounded up and dumped somewhere in the middle of Africa…let them start their OWN country…leave ours the hell alone.
And Obama HATES the document he took an oath to protect: “The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth” [uh...the S-C doesn't legislate, Barack] which he considers”an enormous blind spot”. “It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed there by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution.”
This sound like a guy who loves the USofA….or a guy who loves communism? And from what we’re now beginning to recognize, despotic communism.
Sorry giljones, but my reality looks different than yours.
Reality is over 100 years of Marxist/communist infiltration and indoctrination through disinformation and propaganda that has been largely successful in education, media/press, entertainment, and political parties culminating in 3+ generations since WWII who either support Marxism or shrug when you ask them if they are concerned they are losing their freedom. It is the microphones of America shouting about human rights vs. God-given unalienable rights, about social justice vs. true justice, about special rights, privileges and protections vs. personal responsibility, about fairness and security vs. freedom.
Reality is the end of God and prayer in public, in government, in education, and by the media/press, entertainment industries and political parties–unless, of course, it is about Allah, Islam and Sharia law, where it is celebrated in order not to ‘offend’ those who have promised our destruction. It is about the end of a moral and virtuous culture and society, about the celebrated depravity of abortion and homosexuality, about the psychiatry and psychology of co-dependency and psychotropic drugs vs. caring for family, about same-sex marriage vs. traditional marriage and familites. Reality is about Christian and Catholic churces who took their 30 pieces of silver–tax exemption vs. keeping God as part of our lives and government.
Reality is a manchurian usurper in our Executive Office and a Vice-President and Administration who work for the destruction of the Constitution and the Country. It is 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, 9 supreme Court Justices and numerous federal judges, numerous appointees to federal positions of power and countless federal employees–all who violate their Oath of Office and subvert the constitutional Republic and the sovereign will of the people. Reality is the top Brass and numerous Officers of our current military forces who deny their Oath of Office and deny constitutional and legal rights to anyone who dares question the validity of the Commander-In-Chief and his unconsitutional orders.
Reality is about a federal government who instead of being servants of the people, make subjects/slaves of the people–and too many people are happy to accept subjugation for perceived security.
Reality is about the majority of State governments whose elected and appointed Officials have found it easier to accept money from the federal government to support unconstitutional and growing government in States and localities rather than guard the sovereignty of the States and their people. Reality is the increasing number of individuals who see government service as power and wealth, who move from the positions of limited and specific responsibility up through the various levels of government, and finally into federal government–all for a career living on tax-payer sustenance while consolidating the opportunity to force tax-payer subjugation.
Reality is ‘…A handful of communist insurgents, a few of their dupes, in a few of our towns…’ ? The committed Marxists/communists/progressives, with the support of federal and State governments, the media/press and others with microphones, the educational system that subverts our innocent, youngest and most vulnerable people with lies and threats cloaked in ‘fairness’ and the ‘opportunity for a better life’– if they submit to government–these are a formidable force against freedom. How do you starve the credibility of those who have the voice? This is not a laughing matter.
Reality is a large percentage of voters who can’t be bothered to become informed and continue voting for the same, corrupt career politicians who place themselves above the law at our expense. Realtiy is a significant percentage of Americans who betray our freedom without even understanding or realizing they are doing it. Perhaps these are the greatest threat to America.
I never officially took the Oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the sovereignty of the people, but I stand firmly with the Oathkeepers. May God bless them and those who will fight for God and His unalienable Rights to all men, for our constitutional Republic and the survival of a sovereign people.
Wise words, AZ-like.
We need to be wary of the extent of the propaganda that has been going down in this country for years and years. It has driven a wedge between the older generation and the younger generation. Of course, the financial extremism of the fat cats hasn’t helped matters any. Many voters, I feel, see this as a matter between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’, when it’s more nuanced than that. In any event, the Middle Class need to take their country back. from arrogant thieves on both sides of the political aisle. And the hour is late for that move.
I and others like me took the following oath (includes the one for Officers) when I enlisted in 1963 and every chance I get I reaffirm it. Here they are, Brothers.
The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows:
“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; 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. So help me God.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
“I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ 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 upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.” (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)
I’ll go to my grave trying to abide by this oath.
