Bringing it back to the FRONT page for your review

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Now, let us break it down in order, and by priority.

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

Part one, simple enough. The first part of the oath. Notice what I have bolded? Simple enough. Read the Constitution, doesn’t take too long, google it, go to your local library, whatever. In fact, here it is broken down into separate pieces by Cornell University. Now, let us go to part 2:

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;

Remember this part, think on it very carefully. You swore that oath to the Constitution, to the nation. Part 3:

and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

THIS part is NOT “even if”, it is “except when”, in violation of parts 1 & 2. Remember, your oath was to support and defend the Constitution, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. The reason for those being first and foremost is when part 3 is in violation of parts 1 & 2. Now for part 4:

So help me God.

This part, whether you are a believer, an agnostic, or an atheist, regardless of the question of whether it is legitimate in the eyes of the courts for you to swear to God, is the intensifier. The level of that commitment to your personal honor, and the level of commitment to your oath you have placed.

Let us now look at the “Oath of Citizenship” that one takes when becoming a “naturalized American citizen”:

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;

that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;

that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law;

that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;

that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law;

and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

so help me God.

In acknowledgement whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

It was a single paragraph, I broke it down into component parts. If you are not willing to stand by that oath, if you are not willing, as an American citizen to swear that oath, get the fuck out of my country. We don’t fucking need, or want, you here. If you’d rather be somewhere else, living under some other system of government, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
