Oath Keepers

Thank God for Oath-Keepers. We really need them in this country, and I hope all police officers and military personnel join.

If you have not heard of it, Oath-Keepers reminds military and law enforcement officers of their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and that it supersedes any contrary orders by their superior officers or civilian supervisors, e.g., confiscation of firearms or the like.

Many years ago, the court martial of Lt. Calley after the Mai Lai incident (Viet Nam War for you kids) affirmed that a soldier is duty-bound NOT to follow an unlawful order.

It does not any difference who is in office. Power corrupts.

Of course, the reports of Communists, Marxists, Castro-admirers, Mao-admirers and the like make me none too comfortable with the current batch in office.
