“Elevate your hand in case you STAND with Sen. Mark Kelly in opposition to Trump,” Democrat promoter @bluehue123 posted on X.com Sunday, together with a photograph of Kelly with the caption:
“Trump primarily mentioned loyalty to the Structure is punishable by dying. These are harmful phrases coming from the President of the US, however I’m not going to be intimidated.”
The president, who didn’t say loyalty to the Structure was punishable, was responding to a video by Kelly and Democrat politicos Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan urging the army/Nationwide Guard to disobey orders associated to: Stopping drug boats operated by designated International Terrorist Organizations; and to refuse orders to guard U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and different United States Authorities personnel implementing Federal immigration legal guidelines from violent protesters. Besides they weasel-worded round it.
Per CNN:
Within the video, the lawmakers don’t specify which orders service members have obtained, or would possibly obtain, that could possibly be unlawful.
In different phrases, high-profile Democrat “lawmakers” have been stirring the pot the place no illegal orders had been issued and creating a probable scenario for army personnel to disobey lawful ones, endangering the mission and their fellow service members. It wasn’t loyalty to the Structure that was the problem—fairly the alternative, really.
However what this does is spotlight an fascinating train in Democrat hypocrisy, cognitive dissonance and ginned-up hysteria, as what they have been egging on was actually ripped off from a bunch the Celebration has been smearing as insurrectionary extremists since they first got here on the scene in 2009, following information accounts of police and Nationwide Guard personnel disarming Americans throughout Hurricane Katrina: Oath Keepers. (Full disclosure: I wrote Second Modification columns for Oath Keepers for a number of years, now solely obtainable by way of the slow-loading Web Archive/Wayback Machine.)
The explanation Oath Keepers, comprised of lively and retired army, regulation enforcement, and first responder have been so hated and feared by the left was as a result of, along with “pled[ging] to satisfy the oath all army and police take to ‘defend the Structure in opposition to all enemies, overseas and home,’” and citing the Uniform Code of Army Justice because the lawful authority for rejecting illegal orders, the non-partisan affiliation promoted a particular Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey:
We’ll NOT obey any order to disarm the American individuals.
We’ll NOT obey any order to conduct warrantless searches of the American individuals, their houses, autos, papers, or results – equivalent to warrantless house-to home searches for weapons or individuals.
We’ll NOT obey any order to detain Americans as “illegal enemy combatants” or to topic them to trial by army tribunal.
We’ll NOT obey orders to impose martial regulation or a “state of emergency” on a state, or to enter with power right into a state, with out the specific consent and invitation of that state’s legislature and governor.
We’ll NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty and declares the nationwide authorities to be in violation of the compact by which that state entered the Union.
We’ll NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into large focus camps.
We’ll NOT obey any order to power Americans into any type of detention camps below any pretext.
We’ll NOT obey orders to help or help using any overseas troops on U.S. soil in opposition to the American individuals to “maintain the peace” or to “preserve management” throughout any emergency, or below another pretext. We’ll think about such use of overseas troops in opposition to our individuals to be an invasion and an act of battle.
We’ll NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American individuals, together with meals and different important provides, below any emergency pretext in any respect.
We’ll NOT obey any orders which infringe on the best of the individuals to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their authorities for a redress of grievances.
Who could be in opposition to this? However for it, they have been smeared as seditionists and “hatriots”, even if Affiliation Bylaws positioned restrictions on membership on:
[Any] one who advocates, or has been or is a member, or related to, any group, formal or casual, that advocates the overthrow of the federal government of the US or the violation of the Structure thereof, shall be entitled to be a member or affiliate member [and any] one who advocates, or has been or is a member, or related to, any group, formal or casual, that advocates discrimination, violence, or hatred towards any particular person based mostly upon their race, nationality, creed, or coloration, shall be entitled to be a member or affiliate member.”
Lets say it’s stunning the Democrats are presenting the concept of disobeying orders as their very own, however it’s probably not when you think about what they’re actually partaking in is trademark gaslighting on behalf of overseas criminals and invaders. Particularly contemplating each one of many politicians within the video took an oath to the Structure and actively promotes eviscerating the best of the individuals to maintain and bear arms.
