So Here I am thinking and raise many questions to myself.

What do I stand for?

What do I oppose?

What Am I willing to compromise?

How committed am I to Liberty and her preservation?

Hard questions ? For some yes. For others not so much. I get a myriad of action emails and notices from people. Some I act on and give due diligence, some I lay aside , some I send to the trash bin. I am hoping that everyone of us has used our moral compass to determine for ourselves how involved we will become.  I had a conversation about a week ago with a supervisor at work on some of these same questions. He stated he could not at this time get involved. Political involvement could very likely lead to some unhappy times in his home. Although I do not agree with that, I respected his straightforward replies. The man I have automatically respected since the first time we met. I continue to do so. This conversation with him prompted the questions above. How far am I willing to go in defense of liberty and the opposing of tyranny? Honestly ? As far as I can and remain faithful and true to myself and my kids. I took an oath in 1992.

I Keith A. Orsag , do solemnly swear that I will protect and defend the Constitution Of the United States against all enemies Foreign and domestic…………  . Some of you have perhaps taken the same oath, or one very similar. I think now of the gravity of those words . I swore to defend a piece of paper. A piece of paper that for over 200 years has served as a beacon on a hill to the entire world. America has affected every nation it has come in contact with. This Country has done far more good in the world than we have bad.

I will protect and defend the Constitution of THE UNITED STATES against all enemies ……….. That carries with it some implicit questions as well. Against whom? My family? My friends? A religion? A radical cell of terrorists? Elected officials?

Next part ……….Against ALL ENEMIES. That my friends is an inclusive statement. ALL means ALL . 

I know this When it comes right down to it , I will honor my Oath as my faith allows. I will obey the laws as long as they do not interfere with God’s laws. 

I left most of the questions unanswered, they weren’t for me anyway. They were for you. Each and everyone of us must decide for him or herself what are the answers. I cannot do so, nor will I try . To do so would be a huge display of arrogance. I read once where a wise General made a statement , ” As for me and my house , We Will serve the LORD” .  I hope that all who read this will endeavor to protest and rally together in a civil manner . I have every confidence in y’all.   

Please think on these last questions ,

If not us , Who?

If not now, When?
