Isn't it funny how people choose to read what they want into their oaths? You can't please everyone, but I just wish they would stick to the ground rules that the people set in front of them.

You can’t please everyone, but I just wish they would stick to the ground rules that the people set in front of them.

Your post reminds me of Washington's presidential warning: "Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." Thanks for participating. Happy FFQF! Great selections, Mrs. M, and great subject.

Ron Paul occasionally chides our congress about the oath of office, but I'm afraid "oath" has no meaning in our culture today. In today's Newspeak, "let your yes be yes, and your no be no" has become "tell 'em what they want to hear." Well done, Mrs. M.
