		<description><![CDATA[http://oathkeepers.org/oath/pledge/?p=1

Once again we are dealing with those who abhor the separation of church and state:

We will not register ourselves or our arms.   Registration is the prerequisite to confiscation, which is the prerequisite to dictatorship and extermination.  We will NOT be photographed, finger-printed, tracked, and subjected to psych-evaluations like convicted sex-offenders just for owning semi-automatic rifles.  Doing so is itself an act of surrender and submission, taking the mark of the slave (it is akin to taking the mark of the Beast).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see lots of complaints, but few prescribed actions in the comments.

Are these people a threat?  If so, to who or what?  My experience suggests the threat is to the status quo.  The typical modern/progressive American citizen doesn&#039;t want to be held accountable for much.

Look at mega-corporations, or law enforcement agencies.  Even when faced with criminal charges, it&#039;s exceedingly rare that anyone is convicted and serves prison time.

While there are no doubt nutjobs, I think the actual threat is that typical American bozo is worried they&#039;ll be called out on their complacency.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s not forget the actual, stated definition/defense by Alexander Stephens for this documents preamble above:
 
&quot;Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.&quot;
 
They haven&#039;t stopped this, they haven&#039;t even tried to &quot;move forward&quot; (which is what they chant whenever caught with their obvious racist harassment and criminal behavior to an offended party), and they want to bring it all back.
&quot;Take America Back!&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good point, KW. Perhaps Sam would like the Constitution of the Confederate States (Preamble quoted below) because it not only includes the blessings of liberty but ackowledges Almighty God.  Maybe that is where his confusion lies with regards to divine reference, dang those librul yankees.


&lt;i&gt;We, the people of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent federal government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of America.&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Canadian Constitution also leaves out the &quot;Blessings of Liberty.&quot; 

It talks about &quot;Peace, Order, and Good Government.&quot;

So are the Canadians part of the Communist conspiracy? Just because their flag is red, they use metric, and have socialized medicine?

Hey, it&#039;s possible: they defeated the US in four wars...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sam, the institutions that place &quot;the people in an approximate equal class as insects&quot;, as you call it, are your religious institutions. In the Abrahamic faiths, the distance between human beings and God is stretched to infinity. He is infinitely far above us in terms of everything: infinitely more powerful, infinitely more good, infinitely wiser, infinitely more knowing. He is infinite perfection. So, the contrast between God and us can be pushed no further. We, in comparison with this infinite God, are reduced to zero. And that, quite simply, is the essence of the Abrahamic faiths. God = infinity; humans = zero.
The Protestant religion is an example of a psychopathic set of beliefs. It takes the worst possible view of humanity. Many Protestants subscribe to a theological doctrine called “Total Depravity”, which proclaims that all human beings are fallen, indelibly stained with original sin, and utterly depraved, with no hope of redemption through their own efforts. We must beg for mercy and be saved by God. We are entirely at God’s mercy. 
Muslims are every bit as locked into the humanity = zero, God = infinity model as the Christians. Muslims pray five times a day, facing East. They bow to the ground in their segregated mosques and murmur their prayers. Women have to pray out of sight of the men, and be dressed in hijabs, niqabs and burqas. Muslims “submit” to God (indeed Islam means “submission”.) They go on pilgrimages to Mecca and perform enormous synchronized grovelling to Allah. “We are not worthy!” To be a Muslim is to be a degraded self-hater. Human dignity and self-respect are reduced to zero.
The Jews are no different. They have to obey hundreds of ludicrous rules to avoid offending God. Would God really care if you shaved off your beard, didn’t wear your hair in ringlets, didn’t wear tassels, didn’t wear a dark, sober suit? Does God spend his time checking whether a woman has her hair covered or not?
Just take the example of the story of Abraham, which all these faiths hold in common. God tell&#039;s Abraham to kill his son, has him an erect an altar to do so. Abraham is about to do it until the angel tells him not too because he feared God enough to sacrifice his own son. What type of God would ask such a thing of a man? What God needs to know that man fears him just to satisfy his own ego? What kind of God would put a person through that kind of psychological trauma? Only a tyrant would do such things.]]></description>

&quot;Libtards&quot; and &quot;Democrat&quot; now being used as an insult aimed at anyone who believes in the rights of everyone to free/affordable health care, the rights of women, the rights guaranteed everyone by the constitution (note: Everyone), the right to worship, etc... and this guy&#039;s response to it: auto weapons fire.
 
Using paper targets as surrogates, this is not so much a &quot;political&quot; statement, or &quot;free speech&quot;, as an obvious threat to those in his community who might have dissimilar views on such things like, oh... racial equality, or women&#039;s rights.]]></description>

Show me the reference in the Constitution that says our inalienable rights came from God. Or that anything came from God. I suspect that you will dodge this request as you often do when you are clearly wrong.

Since it is clear that you know little about the US Constitution, you opinion of the UN Charter or any other country&#039;s constitution is probably a bit suspect.]]></description>

Here you go, Sam.  The Charter of the United Nations

There were three Constitutions of the Soviet Union, adopted in 1924, 1936, and 1977. Presumably one of those documents]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sam, 
Perhaps you should re-read the Constitution. With the exception of the Signatory section (&quot;Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven&quot;), there are no references to God in that document.

Do you understand the legal and historical differences between the Declaration of Independence and the Constituion?]]></description>
