It is a terrible thing to live so long as to see your country’s ruin

Note from an old friend:

It is a terrible thing to live so long as to see your country’s ruin. Yet my rage demands action that my younger and healthier self would take. Looking back to days long ago as an active duty officer, in order to fulfill my oath, in the current state of subversion of the Constitution, I would have only the choice of resignation or mutiny, and resignation is only running away from the demands of the oath. This cuts to the core of the oath we took as officers. That rests on the inherent but heretofore latent tension between two vital parts of the oath — to obey the orders of those appointed over you and to defend against all enemies and domestic.

What does the honest man who looks upon his oath as sacred do when he concludes that those appointed over him ARE the domestic enemy? When the Constitution has been overthrown from within, by definition there are NO constitutional means to defend our liberties as expressed in that document. Fight for that new beginning. Do not go quietly into that long night. How will you explain to God someday that you cowered as your grandchildren were cast into the furnace of Marxism?

#3 #QFT: When the Constitution has been overthrown from within, by definition there are NO constitutional means to defend our liberties as expressed in that document.

But by all means, be part of the bigger picture and keep on voting with hopes of different results.

#4 My God this is the definition of poignant!

"...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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of..."

This is the crux of it, the demand by oath of one's honor to not just do your duty, but to see the unspoken demand of what true faith means in the face of subversion and deceit.

#5 I'd always wondered if it would be better to live during a civilizations rise, or during the fall. I don't think we've fallen beyond hope yet, but the signs of a fall suck big time.
