Which part of “domestic” did they not understand?

“I do solemnly swear to become a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States of America.” — Oath Keepers (updated vow)

Sure fits a lot of elected officials: t rump, mcconnell, brawley, mccarthy and soooo many more.

What’s on the back of the shirt IS NOT the oath the keep.

A.G. Garland has the FBI and all of department’s under him looking at far right domestic terrorists/extremist. Something Donny Lardo specifically told the justice department not to look into. To many friends and associates could get caught up in the net. Hopefully when they do get dragged in they will help put the orange traitor where he belongs.

Bingo! Nailed it.

Our politicians. Gotta love them…….like hell.

More like:

“I do solemnly swear to be a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States of America.”

The extreme right always needs conspiracy theories — the bigger the better — to justify their existence as a militia. And as we see, the right has moved to the radical extremist end of the political spectrum.

Several organizations that monitor U.S. domestic terrorism and hate groups describe the group as extremist or radical. The FBI describes the Oath Keepers as a “paramilitary organization” and a “large but loosely organized collection of militia[s] who believe that the federal government has been co[-]opted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights.” Mark Pitcavage of the ADL describes the group as “heavily armed extremists with a conspiratorial and anti-government mindset looking for potential showdowns with the government.” The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lists the group’s founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes as a known extremist and describes his announced plans to create localized militia units as “frightening”. According to the SPLC, the group espouses a number of conspiracy and legal theories associated with the sovereign citizen movement and the white supremacist posse comitatus movement. SPLC senior fellow Mark Potok describes the group as a whole as “really just an anti-government group who believe in a wild set of conspiracy theories”.

They are a bunch of hypocrites who neglect to see their own evil, and project it on others.

Defend the Constitution from all enemies. Seems that the Oaf (sic) Keepers are into self defense.

God how I hate trumplicans…

No no you have it wrong . They simply want a prerevolution church-state back.

One word describes: TREASON

They simply define “domestic enemy” as anyone opposed to the orange blowhard.

Sorry, but they ARE the Enemies of the Constitution and the United States of America.

Just remember when we kill you, you’re being killed to “Make America Great Again.” /s

What’s the penalty for treason against the United States?

Did OAC and her band of dimwits read it?

Are they not taking the same position as Senator Ted Cruz?

The right wing racists have no clue how others see them.

Foreign And Domestic* (*except myself)

Too bad they purposely skew the statements in the Constitution… and believe that “foreign enemies” are everybody who is not in lockstep with them, despite citizenship… While they claim to support the U.S., they have a long history of anti- government actions…

The ‘Oath Keepers’ break our oath.

Crossing their fingers won’t get ‘em out of jail any sooner. Ha! after 20 years they won’t be able to do Diddley except poke themselves in the eye with arthritic fingers.

“Domestic enemies” refers to their (undocumented) gardeners, housemaids and nannies, who they suspect are stealing from them every chance they get.

This might be an appropriate time to compare the Oath to the Constitution with the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Constitution is a set of laws. It is concrete. It is the Foundation upon which our government is built. We may argue about it, but in the end it is THE LAW.

Notice, our military, our Congress, the Courts, the President, every single Federal worker swears an oath to the Constitution. Not to a man. Not to a symbol. They swear to uphold OUR MOST BASIC LAW.

The Pledge of Allegiance is to a symbol, the Flag. It is one I deeply love, please, do not get me wrong. But the problem with symbols is that they mean different things to different people.

I spent years in the military, and have buried many fallen comrades. The Flag, to me, means a dead US soldier. A Fallen Brother. These days, maybe a Sister, God bless them. A coffin, draped in the Flag of our nation. That is what I think of when I salute the Flag or recite the Pledge. I am curious, what do others think?

This is why I have a problem with the Confederate flag. Because it was the flag of a people who deliberately and with malice killed American Soldiers. I cannot forget that.

I say the Pledge, every day, in class with my students. I say it with pride, because my Pledge supports my Oath. But there are some out there who do not see it the same way. I’ve seen Klansmen march with OUR flag and recite the Pledge to it. And it makes me sick. I’ve seen members of Congress pay more heed to the Pledge than they do their Oath.

And that is wrong. The Oath ALWAYS comes first.

Nowhere, in any military code or regulation, does it explain the proper way to say the Pledge in uniform. You simply stand at attention and salute while others recite the Pledge. I like that. Because the Oath ALWAYS comes first.

The part they forgot was the Constitution. We swore to protect that. Not any President or party. And there is such a thing as an illegal order. Example; Storm the Capitol to overturn an election I lost.
