from mangledman:
I solemnly swear to support, protect, and defend the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and its people!! We have a population of people that are clueless about their rights, let alone much of anything in the documents. This situation has slidden so far backward that a lot of Americans think they live in a democracy, and look dumbfounded when you mention we live in a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. This situation is so bad that there are videos of college students whining about being triggered over the CONSTITUTION. The very document that was the AMERICAN experiment and our children find it offensive? This is what parenting has come to over the last 40 years. These 20 year olds have no idea of government function, or why they are not slaves. As parents we turned our jobs over to a government indoctrination center that taught them nothing about Government. I admit I learned way late on my own what I should have learned in school.
Everyone I know probably never went to a PTA meeting. I never heard of anyone in my family going to one back when I was growing up, or there would have been some PUSHBACK then. We thought our Government was capable of doing the right thing.
Look where we are at today! Our best and brightest want Socialism by a majority. They want to attack anyone that disagrees, and this generation we could hardly find a toy gun for. The lack of respect over listening to a different opinion is bizarre. How did we as a society, not see this coming.
Treason! We heard this from the left a couple months back over some trivial matter, having nothing to do with treason, but we will be hearing it a lot more, to the point of irrelevancy. The Donald is now saying it pertaining to the Russian collusion investigations that are going nowhere. If anything at all was found, it would hit the papers immediately, and paid protesters would be filling the streets. He didn’t bother to bring up over Clinton crime! The idiocy of this will probably be known later, but where is the outrage over the hypocrisy of it all. The Donald has shown his true colors of this. He signed the NDAA,giving it more teeth, and Posse Comitatus is in the cross hairs. When he says “Take the guns first, then due process” violates several of our rights, and few on the left or right are even bothering to bring up the word TREASON about the 2nd amendment. This has been going on a long time. The statement, “Shall not be infringed falls on deaf ears. The first amendment is taking a beating over Internet freedom as data is scooped up, logged, and profiled. We sit silently on our hands while we get sobriety checks on the side of the road, and wonder why our kids get hauled off to jail, when they don’t know their rights.
I don’t know about all you people out there. We can thank the NRA for that lovely instant background check. Moving from Illinois to Indiana the firearm laws changed significantly. When I left Illinois years ago, you could barely carry a pocketknife. Democrats want more 2nd Amendment infringement. If we do not learn and understand our rights, the day comes when we really need it, it will be gone. We need to stop pandering to a gun control debate, sensible gun laws, common sense policies. These are just disguises for the word TREASON!! Any and all infringement on your right to protect yourself, loved ones, property, friends and neighbors is nothing but TREASON!! If your Grandma, sister,mom, dad, friends lived away from you, would you want them to meet a horrible end at the hands of evil people?? If my loved ones were in such a situation, I would tell them, find a corner, arm yourself, (with lots of ammo) put your back to the wall and be prepared to save your lives. I think every grandma needs a 30 shot clip!! I am still at a toss up over 12 gauge home defense, or rifle with lots of bullets. The point is, we have these rights. Without them what are we? Sheep! Victims! We have that bill of rights to speak, and corral and keep government in check. They are not in check! When the AMERICAN people truly understand how and where we have been betrayed, we are going to need every last vestige of hope that remains. Treason is all around, traitors have sold us up the river. If we do not stand up for our rights and each other, we can all fall together. We cannot keep taking it and think we can vote better next time.
