Marine Veteran: “pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor”
I feel the true measure of a man or a woman is what is in their heart and how willing are they to act upon that. Taking an oath, or making a even a simple promise are key to the real value of someone. I have worked very hard to impress this upon my own sons, they know that when “Dad” gives his word, that is the way it will be PERIOD, and that I will not settle for anything less from them or from myself. I am very proud to say all 3 sons will be standing on those yellow foot prints at M.C.R.D. within a year.
I took my first oath during the 70’s when I enlisted into the U.S.M.C., I was a teenager at the time, looking back I did not fully understand that oath’s full meaning, that understanding came over time as I matured, my eyes opened to the real value of a mans word given, and to always carefully consider any oath or promises made. I am proud I took that oath, and ashamed that at times I was caught up with the typical right Vs. left argument that seems to consume most Americans that for a time I lost sight that I am an AMERICAN and not a Republican or a Democrat or anything else beyond that. If I stay true to my promises made and oaths taken I will always do what is best for my God and my country, so again I say for all to witness…
I, David Kale, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. So help me, God.
We took an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, no where does the Constitution allow the Government to take from one man and give it to another, I challenge my fellow Oath Keepers to send any and all stimulus monies given to them back to the Government, or donate it to a worth while charity, if we are going to keep our oath.. we first start by living it to the best of our ability, both my wife and myself have taken no stimulis checks, payments or monies.
Ladies and Gentleman, I leave you with this one ideal.. it is better to live and even die on your feet as a free man or woman, than it is live on your knees at the feet of a loving and caring master.
Best regards to my brothers and sisters who keep their oaths and promises,
David Kale

Thank you far your faithfulness in service and
your love for this country. I would be proud to stand with you Dave Kale and to die with you.
God bless you my friend.

“I would be proud to stand with you Dave Kale and to die with you.”
Pretty dumb. You don’t even know this guy! 100 to 1 he would disappear (or never even show up) and leave YOU starin’ down the barrel …

Welcome David. Good last name!
We use Buck as our barometer. If he posts an insult on a testimonial, we see it as a good sign that we are agitating the right folks.
June 25th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Yep, I’m the barometer ’cause I’m the only one agitating here.
Speaks volumes about how many people really read these posts … other than just the usual paranoid conspiracy nuts, of course.

Thank you for your service my friend. In spite of
Buck whom you defended by putting your life on the line for. He would be much happier if he would move to Cuba, China or Venezuela. Maybe he’s looking for recognition or something. He reminds me of the guys who demonstrate at the funerals of soldiers killed in actions. Sad to say but loonies like this have something eating at them, gnawing at their innards, maybe an inferiority comple. I really feel sorry for you Buck. In all seriousness you could use some counseling.

Regarding post 5:
I agree with you. This is the price that internet blogs that are not adjusted for spam have to put up with. These retards are all over the internet. They have nothing better to do.
My guess is that he resides at a state institution and is already getting treatment but the doctors have not yet got his medication right if they ever will.
I for one would like to see his emails put in the recycle bin, or that he be given his own OK blog where he can retard on. It is “time” that OK get rid of this clown. Let him exercise his “spamming rights” somewhere else. Spamming is not a First Amendment right, but it is the denial of the First Amendment rights of others.
(Or maybe these retarded posts are meant to take down OK blogs? Either way they should be deep- sixed.)

Additional to post 6:
To OK Board of Directors:
In my opinion the poster referred to in post 5
is an “INSULT” to the good and thoughtful testimonials that you post on OK. The “first” comments that they read in response to their testimonial are often from this retard, and typically fellow OK will quickly apologize to the testimonial writers for his comments.
I would assume that OK bloggers want reasonably intelligent dialog on OK blogs. I believe that he is discouraging fellow OK who want to have intelligent interchange of thought and who want to “advance” the goals of OK.
I personally am losing my desire to blog on OK because of this poster. I am tired of seeing the chain of posts on OK blogs disrupted by this retard, and/or destructive spammer. And I have nothing in common with those OK who agree with his remarks.
The least that OK should do is to give him his own separate OK blog where he can post his spam and where those who want to read his postings can go.

Okay, anonymouse, as soon as I read a “good and thoughtful” post here, I’ll quit “spamming” and make you happy.
Otherwise, okers will just have to resort to censorship.
BTW, don’t ever get the idea that all current actives and vets believe anywhere near what you believe. Me … USNR officer 1968-74.
And your right on one point: I’m retired and don’t have enough to fill all my spare time, but I can’t think of a more fulfilling project than making some of you guys look as silly as you really are.
June 26th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
A project to make people you see as silly, look as silly as you think they are… doesn’t make much sense.
Anyway, Buck, we are glad you have a purpose in your life now. Thanks, for your commitment to the Constitution and your Oath.

I believe this is the same Dave Kale I knew as a kid. We never really got to know each other well during those years, but we have since reaquainted and exchanged many emails with each other about our lives and families. I can say that I truly believe this is a man who stands by his oath and his beliefs…..not only would he be standing beside you, he would probably act as protector as well. He can be very proud of the man he has become and the life he leads…..and of the 3 boys he has raised. I am honored to be able to call him a friend.
