WAKEUPAMERICA01 User ID: 30489425 United States 12/21/2012 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lawful gun owners do not commit crimes period. If anything they are a deterent to crime. Only in places like chicago, nyc and dc and other gun free areas where lawful gun owners are prohibted from protecting themselves and others do you see gun crimes on the rise and also have the highest amounts of murders. In places where you are allowed to carry a gun openly and concealed for protection crime has in fact gone down. Even more, crime has gone down in general across the US. just those shitholes where every thug knows that most citizens are not armed is where most of the crimes happen. See the media protects the Pres and his ideologies and so do the brain dead public which get all their info and so called facts from the liberal media and the think tanks who have a agenda to push. A armed society is a polite society. WAKE UP AMERICA WAKE UP AMERICA "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776 "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 4, September 11, 1777 "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President. "A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [79 years now in 2012] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by statutes of national emergency." |

The President does indeed take such an Oath and while the constitution can be lawfully changed, the President, all members of Congress and the Senate, and all Federal Judges, all Cabinet Members and Joint Chiefs'of Staff, all Supreme Court Justices, and many other Federal Employees and most State Governors do indeed have a legal obligation to defend and protect all parts of the US Constitution (whether he personally likes them or not) until and unless they are legally changed. That's what makes us a Republic and sometimes even a democracy! The ignorant bastard is violating his oath of office!! Blatantly! Quoting: MarkinAZ What about his OATH of office that included a clause to "PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"??
