This We'll Defend (thread):
1 - "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.."

2- Many people repeat this, and I like to use it in my writing because it's such a powerful statement...but have you ever stopped to really think about what it means?
Why, in the beginning of one's military service, do we swear to support & defend the Constitution, not the Pres?

3- It outlines that we will support & defend the Constitution, bear faith & allegiance to the same, and merely follow the orders of the President (the Commander in Chief).
So why is the US Constitution so important that it is mentioned first, and our allegiance to it sworn 4...

4- different ways?
Because the US Constitution is precisely what makes America so special, what makes us the shining beacon and example of what a nation can be to the rest of the world.

5- Have you ever thought about that? Socialism and Communism are nothing more than centralized power, where the leading class makes up the rules as they go along, and in each historical examples the rules get more despotic and stifling the longer socialism exists, and requires..
6- ...a stronger grip on the populace as they starve, are executed by government death squads for asking questions and begin to realize they were sold a false bill of goods by power hungry politicians.

7- ...individual or bloodline rather than idea.
Some nations swear allegiance to a flag, and some people here in the US even believe that soldiers are fighting for a flag, but nothing could be further from the truth, as evidenced in the oath.
What are the problems with the other-

8- examples?
Kings and Queens can die. Bloodlines can be overthrown. Despots are at some point cast out. Flags can be burned, lost, changed or destroyed.
But an idea, especially the ideas of freedom, prosperity, equality and opportunity promised in our Constitution cannot.

9- What you have to understand is that our soldiers aren't just willing to die for the flag or the President - they fight for what they both represent, which is the idea that our Constitution grants those freedoms & rights listed above (and many more).
10- More importantly, they fight and are willing to die for their children to have the same rights and freedoms afforded to us by the Constitution.

There are many ways to break down the differences between the leftists and conservatives, but what I see as one of the most important is child rearing.

12- ..that nurtures its young."
Kind of a strange diet, but understandable.
I see much of the extreme left and conservatives in that same spectrum.
It was recently shown that most of the original ANTIFA were the kids of academics - do you think kids become that angry because...

13- ...they had a wonderful home life and childhood? Or could it more likely come from terrible parents more focused on their students than their own kids?

17-...awe of their strength & intelligence. But there is one thing above all that sets women apart, that only they and no man can ever do - give life.

19- ...thing about fighting for an idea rather than a flag or a monarch or even a President, is that you cannot kill an idea whose time has come.

25-...to that, but we have a large population of men & women who swore an oath to support & defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Right now our greatest enemy is within, and their sights are set on that document which makes our nation so special.

26- We cannot allow them to succeed, and scary as it may be, I'm sure they will not.

28-..extolling the virtues of socialism, stop and ask yourself: do you want your children to end up like those in Venezuela, Stalin's Russia, Mao's China?
