Ready To Revolt: Oath Keepers pledges to prevent dictatorship in United States, page 2

I actually agree wholeheartedly with the gist of what you are saying here...Except for the violence / execution end. Jail time for violating oath wouldn't be terrible though.

The "electoral" system is THE biggest sham ever perpetrated and BOUGHT by the public at large-EVER. It is nothing more than a facade of ILLUSIONARY "choice", when in fact the entire political system has been hijacked for ages now by a giant bunch of criminals masquerading as a "two" party system, which in reality is two sides of the exact same coin, serving the special interest, "behind the scenes" elitists, who SET UP who we, the public, actually get to vote for. It is nothing but a sham.

The key is to expose the people (the top players behind the Bilderbergers / M.I.C. / Corporate giant triplex's) who are hijacking this process and continuing the merry-go-round of "faux" choices of representatives (who don't serve the people AT ALL, but serve these elitists, administration after administration), and THEN re-boot this system from a grass-roots level, which may take branch-offs (sovereignities) in order to implement.

ok, so what your saying is that the moment Bush annoyed me and did something unconstitutional, I should have gotten armed and started taking shots at him?

What options are you suggesting? Whenever you dont like what the other party does, you go down and shoot them?

well, that would certainly solve the overpopulation issue considering when you have 3 people in a room, there will soon be a disagreement and when a vote comes around, one of them is going to feel like there is no democracy, no matter how fair the voting was.

should that 1 person then shoot the other two because he didnt sway the neutral person to his way of thinking?

This is what these threads are to me...far right wings complaining that they didnt win, so they should overthrow the elected officals on the left verses simply try to make a stronger case as to why they shouldnt be in office.

Where was this movement when Bush was using the constitution as toilet paper? non-existant is where it was.

And that is exactly why they made a Constitution and a form of government that is able to change if the people wish it.

No group of people have seriously challenged the two parties in awhile. We are in a situation now where approval of the government is at an all-time low in our history and the situation is ripe for the creation and empowerment of third parties.

Every major grassroots movement either supports one of the parties or claims that it isn't a partisan issue because they're afraid of being marginalized by the power brokers in Washington and those industries that fund them.

It may seem like a mountain to climb, but I'm willing to bet trying to create legitimate alternatives to the establishment through hard-work and donation collecting is going to be quite a bit more successful than sabre rattling and threatening some kind of glorious civil war.

You told Saturn to wait five years and see where it gets him, but I'm willing to bet his strategy of affecting change in the national government is a lot more effective than the Oath Keepers.

I never said anything of the sort. Im not promoting the use of violence or execution against anyone. I am merely defending the questioning of the established way these things are handled. We obviously cant go around killing people because they disagree with our perception of what is right. But we also obviously cant continue to expect any change in the current status of things by doing what we have always done. It doesnt work anymore.

Maybe a long time ago, we could enact change in our Nation by voting, and getting involved politically. But the face of the political landscape has changed so dramatically since those days that those things no longer hold any power to the individual. We need to change with it, rather than allowing politics to change, and we continue to address it using old tactics.

The point of my posts has only been to support the Oath Keepers, and keep people from immediately turning against any ideas for change that arent of the status quoe. If we are going to make change happen in our Country, its my belief that we need to step outside the comfort zone of the old ideas, and being to explore new ones that may be more potent.

As I said, Im not defending the use of violence with my posts. Merely suggesting that the established system for individuals to enact change in their Country is an illusion.

The beating heart of this Nation is money. Politics, politicians, and laws are made and broken by the almighty dollar. It been that way for a long time now. Our Government has left us the illusion of control by allowing us to vote and involve ourselves in politics. But we know that it is as I said at the beginning of this paragraph.

That being said, our avenue for enacting change is impotent, and we have a great desire for our voices to be given back the power that has been taken away from us by greed. Tell me this isnt true.

Oh absolutely. Just look at the past several administrations and congressional bodies. This system is corrupted to its core. Anybody thinking it's "working" is living in a dream world. The game has been rigged, and at this stage, no matter who the "winner" is, WE ARE LOSING.

A MAJOR overhaul has been necessary for some time now.

Exactly. The fact is, the way things are right now are great......for the Federal Government. They have their multi-million dollar homes and vacation resort homes and car collections and expensive hookers. They dont want the change we want. Thats why I laugh everytime I hear Obama talk about CHANGE. He dosent want it any more than any other politician. He may live like a commoner then! They like it just the way it is, dont ever let them fool you into believing otherwise.

You forgot something. Not everyone in America during it settling and founding had a voice.

en.wikipedia.org...

In America the hard work was done by slaves who had no voice.

Then in that case, I agree with you. People in authority should take their oath of position and/or office seriously and refuse to do things in violation of those founding principles. Also, they should immediately disclose corruption on a local and higher level should they notice something going on that is clearly unconstitutional.

Whistleblowers are always a welcome voice in almost any community so long as its not just steamblowing.

As far as this group is concerned, I may be wrong, but that is basically their stand...if your told to do something that goes against the constitution or amendments to, then dont do it and call to action..personal responsibility on a large scale would clear up the sewage real quick.

oh, and also strict laws controlling lobbiest would be a great push in the right direction...hard to stay on the right path with 100 lobbiests per congressman barking, bribing, and pleading with them...perhaps some extreme transparency measures, although I have no clue how that would be enacted and enforced.
