It does.

So help me God.”


Just so you know. That oath only expires when I do.

I know the oath, Ricardo. I took it too. And I never understood it to mean I got to decide which Americans were enemies and kill them over politics.

We swore to defend the Constitution. That includes the rights of people whose ideas we may not like.

The oath doesn’t expire bubba. Neither does the restraint it demands.

bullshite. Communism isn't compatible with the Constitution of the United States. It's not a mere difference of opinion. This isn't liberalism vs. conservatism. It's good vs. evil.

Still here talking shite?

What is the motive here?

You say you took the oath. In what capacity? If you were someone, like myself, then you recognize a color revolution when you see one. You are here trying to talk people down from it when they see it. You are doing this even after knowing the end result of a color revolution. Know that if allowed to fester, millions will die. We saw that in Russia, China, Laos, etc. Yet here you are saying "everything is fine and liberty dictates we cannot come to blows over differences in political beliefs" even when you know what you are saying is complete bullshite.

GTFOH with your shite.

You can call communism evil, Ricardo. I’m not asking you to embrace it bubba. It isn’t the threat that maga bumper stickers and slogans have you fearing that it is. This is America baw. There will never be a communist takeover.

But believing an idea is evil doesn’t give you the authority to kill Americans who believe in it.
If somebody commits a crime, prove it and let the system do it’s job and punish them under the law. Until then, neither you nor I get to appoint ourselves judge, jury, and executioner. That kind of restraint is part of the Constitution we swore to defend.

For ten years I worked with an EX-NSA agent who was assigned to the Whitehouse during the second term of Reagan and the first years of Clinton.

I would ask questions that he was very clearly uncomfortable being asked and he would say his oath of secrecy stood in the way of his desire to talk about and add to the history records, all these years later.

Communist are insects. I don’t think twice when I swat a fly or mosquito, just as I don’t cry when I step on an ant.

It is people like cyrstalpreserves who are dooming us to relive things already played out in history, as if we do not already know the outcome

People are rapidly losing faith that the political leanings of the left allow the courts to remain impartial and to provide sentencing to fit the crime, so saying "leave it to the judicial system" is quite teeth-grinding at the moment. Stephen Miller is correct. Roberts needs to step in and stop this lawfare bullshite and slap down judges for their political and racial biases spilling over into the legal framework of the country by the unilateral actions of these judges.

I took the Oath of Office in the United States military bubba. I took it seriously enough to know fear doesn’t give us the right to start calling our neighbors enemies because of what we think they might become. Commit a crime, answer for it. Plan violence, face the law. Hold an idea I despise, and I’ll fight the idea. A man can get so busy hunting tyranny that he forgets to notice when he starts carrying its tools.

It's pretty clear that we're dealing with a Communist sympathizer. You should be rounded up and thrown in a cell or deported to a communist country. You clearly have no respect for the oath you took. The Constitution being a defense of the people that want to dismantle it is peak irony.

Again. The Constitution of the US is not compatible with communism. The people that wish to embrace it have declared war on it.

I understand why people get angry when they believe a judge is playing politics. but distrust of a court doesn’t give us a better system by tossing due process over the fence.

Bad rulings get appealed. Biased judges can be challenged. Laws can be changed. There are remedies built into the system for a reason. Once the answer becomes “the courts can’t be trusted, so our side should decide who deserves punishment,” we haven’t fixed the rule of law.

Somehow, I seriously doubt you did.

The rest of you post, as per usual, is verbose dribble that ignores calls of "death to America" as well as public threats of violence against those running against DSA candidates and many other things.

Is ok. You can sit on the sidelines, however I think you won't. I somehow feel you will be carrying the sickle and hammer when the time comes and is why you want us to forget history.

you keep proving the point for me. I’ve never defended communism. I’ve defended the idea that Americans don’t get rounded up, jailed, or deported because somebody dislikes their politics.

You say the Constitution is worth defending, then argue that people who disagree with you should lose its protections. That road has been traveled before, bubba. It never ends anywhere free.

There's a reason a bad B movie, Citizen Vigilante, was suddenly so popular. It struck a nerve. People have lost faith in the system you detailed.
