Defend the Constitution Against All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic

Every Federal official and every member of the Armed Forces of the United States of America swears to this oath of office.

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

What, then, is the citizen to do when the enemies of the Constitution include the President and a significant majority of both Houses of the Congress?  Henceforth we shall refer to this latter group simply as Congress while realizing that there are many in the Congress who are honest and hard working representatives of the People.

The President is demonstrably guilty of violating the rule of law in that he has taken to himself the power to discharge management of private companies, stolen billions of dollars from secured investors (GM and Chrysler) and made a gift of the ill gotten proceeds of these thefts to unions who supported him in his run to the Presidency, allowed Federal agencies (EPA and Corp of Engineers) to exacerbate the damage to both the people of the gulf region and the environment of the same region for purely political gain, and in direct violation of due process “taken” twenty billion dollars from a private company and inserted himself into the disbursement of said funds, again without regard to due process of law, again purely for personal political gain.

Through his personal acts he has prevented the proper pursuit of happiness of many citizens of the gulf region, again simply to put himself in a more positive political light.  He has damaged the standing of the United States of America by apologizing for so many imagined ills that it is not practical to list them here.  He has insulted the leaders of our closest allies (England and Israel) with repeated gaffs and intentional acts contrary to political norms and he has consorted with and given standing to enemies of the United States of America (Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad) and bowed to foreign leaders such as King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

He continues to act, not as a President, but rather as an arrogant despot eager to create new voters loyal to him with no regard to the legality or moral right of his acts.  And he damns those who would oppose him as misguided fools or someone whose “ass” needs to be kicked.

Our current President is a liar, a thief and at a minimum a Muslim sympathizer.   This is an enemy of our Constitution.

Congress, although divided, has, in the main, supported the Progressive attempts to destroy our capitalist system, move jobs overseas and make the United States a Socialist nation of the European model.  We could spend the next few pages listing the illegal, unwise or insulting actions of our Congress.

It is obvious to any reasoning citizen that the President and a significant majority of our Congress are, indeed, domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States of America.

What, then, is the citizen to do?  How is the citizen to react?  First of all, our next step is to vote the fools, crooks and self serving out of Congress in November and to hamstring our President in the process.  Secondly, it is not legal, nor is it reasonable, for any citizen to advocate the overthrow of the government.  But it is the right of the citizenry to change the government through reasonable and legal means.  But, the question remains,  what then if this ballot is not sufficient?

I would suggest that we should use the current situation to educate the citizenry about the values held by our Founding Fathers and the principals upon which our country was founded.  It is the right, indeed the duty, of every citizen to participate in this process.  By our dedication to this process of education, we will end the erosion of our values and return to our roots.  Those roots are firmly based upon Christian values and devotion to our Creator.

I suggest that we should dedicate ourselves to this end, so help us God. As we go forward in this effort, we should hold close two parts of the Declaration of Independence.  First, we read the second sentence. . .

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Endowed by their Creator.  Our country was founded upon the belief that our rights are not given by the royalty, nor by any government.  But, they are given by our Creator.

Finally, we look at the Preamble.  It is the right, it is the duty of every citizen to right the wrongs in our government.  We do not claim the right or duty to make violent change.  Such would be contrary to the spirit of the Declaration.  We claim the right to make these changes through education and the power of the ballot box.

The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence of

the United States of America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[71] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

  1. A positively brilliant salvo against the nefarious acts and intentions of the current occupier of the White House. Your multiple-count indictment is beautifully laid out, fairly stated, and free of hyperbole: the man has been and continues to be that bad.

    I also like the direction you chose in the second half of your essay: that we must re-learn and articulate and embrace our core values and heritage. I have been writing extensively on exactly this topic in a series called “We Defend Our Culture or We Die as a Nation” in the category ‘Sovereignty Protection’. I agree 100% that if we fail to embrace what makes us different and better than competing systems around the world, we will come to resemble those less successful, competing systems (i.e., we will lose everything we hold dear).

  2. who the hell put Bernie in charge of the FED that must have been Mr Goldman of Goldman and SucKes
