“Their Oath and Sacred Honor”

By John Woods -

An oath of office is a Vow that must be adhered to so as to maintain one’s Sacred Honor…It not only pledges one’s Sacred Honor but states that one will be truthful and pursue their duties with Integrity… 

The main reason one takes an Oath is to espouse one's Fidelity and instill confidence in the Citizenry… 

If the Oath means nothing to an Office Holder, then how can the Citizens have any confidence in those Office Holders to faithfully carry out their duties? 

The Oath of Office of a Citrus County Commissioner is as follows: 

"I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State of Florida, that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the State; and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of Commissioner for Citrus County, Florida, upon which I am now about to enter. So Help Me God." 

The Oath includes words such as: 

Oath: Which is defined as a solemn, formal declaration or promise to fulfill a pledge… 

Solemnly: Which is defined as a Behavior or Expression which is very serious or formal in manner… 

Swear: Which is defined as making a solemn declaration in confirmation of and witness to the honesty or truth of a declaration… 

Qualified: Which is defined a having the appropriate qualifications for an Office, Position or Task… 

Faithfully: Which is defined as adhering firmly and devotedly to a person, cause or idea… 

All of these words are part and parcel of the Oath of Office of a Citrus County Commissioner… 

Words the present Commissioners swore by as they took their respective oaths of office… 

They have been entrusted by the Voters to diligently carry out with Integrity and Honesty the Duties they swore to perform… 

With Roads not being paved, Fees, Taxes and Assessments being raised time and time again and the appearance of special treatment for some… 

One must ask…Have they abided by their Oaths?  Have they been honest with the Voters?   

You be the judge of the foregoing…If they have abided by their Oath and faithfully carried out the duties of their Office…then you must praise them and return them to Office…If they have broken their Solemn Oath and failed to carry out their duties…they must be voted out of Office…

On our Jan. 6 political prisoners

Image
By Laura Loomer - As our nation quickly approaches one full year of the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration, Americans watched this last week as the communist fake news media continued to glorify the protests that took place on January 6th, 2021 as an “assault on democracy.”   Over the past year, more than 700 Americans in 45 states have been charged in what has been described by the Biden Regime as the biggest criminal investigation in history. Thousands of Americans who showed up to Washington, DC, on January 6th to protest the fraudulent 2020 elections have been targeted by the FBI, harassed by the weaponized Department of Justice, and many of the nearly 700 who were arrested are being held in jails across the country in appalling conditions. Here in America, the year is now 2022, and while we are not exactly a third world country…yet, we can honestly say that much like what happens in actual third world nations and failed states, the American government is politically persecutin

Hernando man gets visit from sheriff's office after email to Holly Davis

Image
By John Labriola -  A 66-year-old Hernando man got a Thanksgiving-eve knock on his door from the sheriff's office after sending Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis an email challenging her on her LGBT activism in strong terms. On Nov. 23, B. James Colantropo emailed Davis in response to her shocking remarks at the last county commission meeting, in which she appeared to advocate for homosexual grooming of children in the county libraries .  "Rest assured that the good people of this county will not stand by and let you get away with your leftist agenda," Colantropo wrote. He then added: "Count your days because they are numbered." The next morning, two sheriff's detectives showed up at Colantropo's door. "They wanted to know what my intentions were, as they said my email could be construed as threatening," said Colantropo, who explained to them that his words were meant politically, not as a physical threat.  "Basically they understood

Commissioner Holly Davis wants Citrus County to promote homosexuality to children

Image
By John Labriola -  Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis raised eyebrows at the Nov. 9 commission meeting when she declared that she wants our county libraries to be a place where children can access books promoting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle so they can feel at "peace" with becoming practicing homosexuals and/or pursuing transgenderism. (See video above.) Davis, a committed leftist, justified her heinous views by citing long-debunked claims that children are "born" homosexual. This propaganda myth pushed by the LGBT political movement has been thoroughly discredited by multiple scientific studies over the last 25 years.   What is true is that people engaged in LGBT lifestyles have much higher suicide rates than the general population. The logical conclusion to draw from this statistic is that discouraging children and adults from going down the path of homosexuality and transgenderism (or at least not encouraging them to do so) would SAVE LIVES .
