My Oath Is Just As Important Now As The Day I Took It.

thomasjeffersonbig300x274150x150 “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Thomas Jefferson

I join the Army in 1986, and on that hot day in Cleveland I took a oath which is just as important today as it was that day. This country is moving further and further away from what our founding fathers had established, we as the people who run this wonderful country need to insure that we stop going down this road to ruin. We need take back what is ours, FREEDOM !!!

Welcome Patriot!

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

I took that same oath, when I enlisted during the Vietnam War. I never remember being released from that oath when I left active service. I stand by it now, as I did when I first took it. It grieves and angers me to see our polititions take THEIR oath so lightly. We, as their employers, must see that they honor that oath, or leave public service with NO recompence! (no retirement pension or healthcare)

Quote from George Washington’s Farewell Address:

“Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric ? ”

Please read the entire Farewell Address it is almost prophetic in predicting the present condition of our REPUBLIC,our non-democracy!
