On this Veterans Day I think it is time for us veterans to remember the oath we took to God and country to defend the CONSTITUTION from all enemies foreign and domestic.

In case anyone forgot here is the oath you took.

I, (NAME), 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.

In the National Guard (Army or Air)

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) 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 Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.

If you notice, the oath is chiefly about supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. It does not say that you can give some obvious enemies a pass so that you can be politically correct and not endanger your own career.

With all the oath keepers in the United States why is it that politicians are passing laws that are obviously circumventing our Constitution with Its Bill of Rights? I could cite many examples from the Federal Reserve control of money, to hate speech laws attached to a defense bill, to proposed federal government mandated health insurance, to federal judges legislating from the bench, to Executive Branch czars not approved  by the Senate or accountable to Congress, to federal environmental laws, to taxpayer bailouts of multi-national corporations and banks, to federal government running roughshod over states rights. The list is almost endless.

The abuses against the Constitution are legion but where  are the defenders of the Constitution that took a oath to defend it? Where is the voice of the active military veterans, the voice of the American Legion Veterans, the voice of Veterans of Foreign Wars, the voice of the Disabled American Veterans, the voice of the Vietnam Veterans of America and many others. They should be speaking with a united voice against the enemies of the Constitution in Washington. However, it seems the main focus of these veteran groups is on themselves, and being politically correct, and what they can get from the Federal government. These groups today are majoring on the minors. They lost what should be their top focus and they are now mainly focused on flag waving parades, bingo and beer. How about some new focus on keeping a Constitutional Republic in our nation? Our founding father and writers of our Constitution established the Constitution to prevent just such tyranny that we are seeing taking over America today, but our veteran oath keepers main focus is now on their social calender.

The many millions of oath keepers that swore to defend the Constitution could do that by bringing these things to light and and not voting for and instead working against those that would subvert our Constitution. We could and should win the battle to get back to our Constitution through the ballet box. However veterans, be warned! If we oath keepers let this abuse of power and abuse of our Constitution go much further we might all be fighting  a civil war for our Constitutional rights before you know it.

So on this Veterans days we need to remember and honor the Veterans of America but let the Veterans of America also honor America by keeping the oath they took to defend the Constitution of the United States. Let the millions of veterans hold there leaders accountable –  from the leaders in government to leaders in your own local service organization.

If you are in law enforcement you could honor our nation, our Constitution and our Veterans that defended the Constitution and the United States by becoming an “Oath Keeper” yourself.
