In an era where lying has become an art form, is it possible to hold those who take a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution to that pledge of honor and responsibility?
The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The Constitution (Article VI, clause 3) requires that Senators and Representatives take an oath of office to support the Constitution. It reads:
I do solemnly swear 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 will 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.
The military officer’s oath is similar. Solemn oaths are very serious business; an elected or hired official or military officer takes within his or her hands power over the lives and welfare of one person, or 350 million.
The Presidential oath being taken on January 21, 2013 must discern where the officeholder’s heart is and what level of power he lusts for. The same holds true for all who dare make that solemn promise while looking into 350 million pairs of eyes…
The Founders were common in their belief in the core teachings of the Bible as is over 80% of the American population. The inscription on George Washington’s tomb – designed by him, reads: “I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” (John 1: 25-26)
(Did he want himself remembered as a “deist”?)
It is from this belief that the core principle of the Constitution found in the Declaration finds meaning: “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.”
Would it be an understatement to say that few other than our beleaguered military take their oaths of office seriously? Renewed or newfound Love of Country is the easiest way to reverse the mortal danger he and the nation he uses are facing. The opposite of love is not hate, but use! One who truly loves cannot use the beloved, willing to lay down his life for her/him. That is what oaths are all about! The Founders saw that swearing an oath upon the Bible was natural and binding.
Today, we have three problems:
1. Swearing on the Bible as above with no intention of upholding that solemn promise. The current President actually believes the Constitution is “dead for all practical purposes” (as stated to Vladimir Putin in 2009.) Too many public servants take the oath as a rite of passage with no binding responsibilities. That must change. Now!
2. Swearing to uphold the Constitution on the Qur’an (Koran) is oxymoronic in that the holy book of the Muslims is also a theocratic code of laws strictly observed with severe penalties. It is called Sharia (Law). Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos, Sikhs, Jews, and almost the entire world’s ways of connecting with our Creator have found a place within the framework of freedom the Constitution affords. Some will always struggle because of local prejudices, but they all have the foundation of freedom to stand and build on. Not so under Sharia.
3. After years of political correctness, misguided social justice, and divisive diversity, the American people have been conditioned to be influenced by a drive to totalitarian rule. One of Alinsky’s protégés, the young lawyer Barack Hussein Obama, became its most powerful and persuasive adherent. He should take the oath on “Rules for Radicals.” (Alinsky dedicated “Rules” to Lucifer.)
Listed below are the basic tenets of the “Rules for Radicals” bible. Some call it good politics. I call it spiritual warfare. (Note: righteous citizens, elected, hired, and military are the “enemy” referred to here. My comments are in parentheses)
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” (And boy have we let them bamboozle us with political correctness and the ACLU!)
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” (Done consistently, in every aspect of life – health, education, welfare, environment, energy, religion, and labor, then lied about)
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” (Not likely, but “progressives” will even lie about the obvious.)
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” (We should “put on the whole armor of God” – it might feel good for a change!)
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon”. (Ask Congress, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, etc.)
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” (He who laughs last…)
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” (Exceeds their own expertise and is ultimately exposed for the lies the tactic is built from. Progressives get bored because they exceed their own knowledge or capability to understand technology or stewardship.)
8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.” (A daily does of new crises, talking points with the complicit 5th Column in the mainstream media)
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” (Health care, fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, ad nauseum)
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” (They are masters at it; but when their house of cards crumbles, they’ll cry like babies.)
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside…” (Love conquers all, but tough love is what is needed here.)
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” (With cadres “eating out the peoples’ substance,” they are ready every day with thousands of new rules and highly-paid operatives to seek to enforce them.)
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” (Republicans have been suckered into this deep freeze for decades, with the only reprieve being under President Ronald Reagan. They will never love you, and the 5th Column media will never be on your side.)
Anyone who has faced a bully, spent time pondering Scripture, or reading history sees we are engaged in all-out spiritual warfare. While political strategies are critical, the war must be fought on the spiritual plane.
On April 14, 2005, I was privileged to be asked to read Washington’s prayer over his very tomb at Mt. Vernon. This circular was directed to the Governors and States of the new nation; his reference to them has been replaced by the words “the United States.” Otherwise, the words and spelling are those of General Washington:
I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have the United States in his holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government. To entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Fields, and finally, that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion (a paraphrase of Micah 6:8), and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation. Amen.
Now we too must pray and act!

Taking the oath of Office is Not Treason!!!! Going Against that Oath IS Treason!!!
It is Treason to take an oath of office on fraudeulent pretenceses
Treason starts with intention. Obama was covert about his as he took the oath. He was/is the enemy we didn’t see coming. Why didn’t we see him coming? Are these people that hard to detect? The devil is in the details, or could it be in their smile? Something can be done about it. We have options. They are fighting the uphill battle, not us.
People harboring covert-hostilities are basically cowards. They hide their intentions of betrayal behind a smile, as they shake your hand with one, they stab you in the back with the other. Our media, a servo of Obama’s hostilities, squashes any discrediting facts, pumps-up Obama’s credibility, while polarizing the population into various factions by using Saul Alynsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” Lying is indeed an art form.
SITUATION: we know who/what Obama is, the only thing missing is who will serve him the divorce papers. He, and his small band of dastardly minions, won’t go head-to-head with 300+ million people who possess as many guns. To turn their uphill battle back on us they use rapid-fire legislation, grind us with bureaucratic regulations. However, enforcement is up to you, me, and nullification. The goodhearted giant is awake!
SOLUTION: The key to overcoming this insurgency comes from the same book. Rule #4A: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” Rule #6: “A good tactic is one your people will enjoy.” We should laugh at liberals. Our protests should be called “laugh-ins.” Example: Here’s Piers Morgan interviewing two ladies about gun control. Both laughed at him, he failed miserably! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5GbGj-5K2w …Semper Fi
I Found it. Let me say this. I Know WHY Obama feels he can get away with ANYTHING. Read the following.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President”
He is giving an Oath to Faithfully EXECUTE the office of President. Well, he sure is doing a Great Job of that now isn’t he?
Under Meriam Websters many definitions, are the following.
EXECUTE = : to put to death especially in compliance with a legal sentence
It sounds like the Boy from Kenya, is using this one, rather then any of the Others.
This is why he purposely “flubbed” the first oath he took in 2009, having to take it in private later, and now for the second go round, he takes the oath in private to begin with. To me, he’s never taken a documented oath…
You can not occupy the office for which you are elected by the People without taking the oath of office. The oath is not just morally binding, it legally binds the oath taker to adhere to its directive. Consequently, it is treason when a law maker, having taking the oath of office, violates his oath by making unconstitutional laws. Moreover, the law maker is making war on them with the promotion and passage of unconstitutional laws. I call this law warfare. Article 3, Section 3 defines treason as the act of making war on “them.” US Code replaces the word them with government. Just who is the government? America is unique in that the people are the government. It is the people who elect “Representatives” to govern. So, law ware is the act of making war on the people by the manifestation of unconstitutional laws. Treason was committed by the Congress and Executive Branch with the enactment of law that allow for the President of the United States to indefinitely detain US Citizens in violation of our Bill of Rights. Also, treason was committed by Congress when they failed in their duty to remove President Obama from office after he made illegal war on Libya. Congress failed in its sworn duty to remove President Obama from office when it was discovered that the President ordered the murder of US Citizens. President Obama acted as judge, jury and executioner of US Citizens in the most egregious violations of our Constitution in the history of the Republic.
Today, the anti-Federalist are demanding a return to the Constitutional Republic. They are calling for an end to efforts to usurp the people’s rights under the 2nd Amendment. However, just as anti_Federalist of 1791 warned, the Federalist thirst for an all powerful Federal Government is evidenced today. This was made possible by the standing armies which embolden the Political Parties. The only question remaining today, is whether or not our military will honor their oath and side with the people. Or, will the military join a tyrannical Federal Government that seeks more power, more authority over the lives of its citizens. Treason by those who swore an oath to support and defend the Republic is now! It’s only a short manner of time before the first shots are fired by those patriots who seek to restore the Republic.
America presently has no legal sitting president—she has a criminal usurper in the White House; a fraud; a forger; an enemy agent of Islam practicing taqqiya.
The U.S.A. is in the midst of a constitutional crisis of unparalleled magnitude and her elected officials in both major political parties proceed with business as usual as if the criminal usurpation of the presidency is not taking place.
Obama stripped US Army Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin of the 101st Airborne Division of his rank and imprisoned at him Fort Leavenworth for simply, according to the officer’s oath that the colonel had taken to defend the constitution, having requested authentication that his supposed “commander-in-chief,” Mr. Obama, legitimately, that is to say legally, occupied that rank and wielded concomitant authority of said military rank.
The mockery of our constitution must be brought to an end–one way or another. The ‘Manchurian’ Muslim from Mombasa must be brought to justice. Congress refuses to do their duty according to their oath and defend the constitution.
Congresswoman Michelle Bachman has called for an investigation into the depths of the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration into the White House administration and for this she is being threatened with removal from a congressional committee. (‘Bull’s Eye on Bachman Over Islamist Threat,’ wnd.com, 01/18/2013.)
Has not Obama called for a Palestinian state to be carved out of Israel? Has he not provided the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with BILLIONS of dollars, F-16 Fighter Jets and M-1 Abrams tanks? Has he not provided the United Arab Emirates with Bunker Buster Bombs? Did he not travel to Pakistan in 1981 with his Muslim college buddies? Was Obama’s higher education not financed by Islamist interests?
One wonders if Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Mister Barack ‘King Hussein’ Obama gave the murdered diplomat in Libya, Ambassador Stevens, a burial as sanctimonious as that which he gave his ‘Brother from the Hood’ Osama Ben Laden. Obama’s…, I mean Osama’s…, body was ceremonially washed and reverently wrapped in fine white linen. Koranic verses were solemnly read over the corpse as it gently slipped into the salty brine off the deck of a United States naval vessel. I do not know if Obama had the flag lowered to half-mast or ordered a twenty-one gun salute and I have no evidence that the Navy Band was ordered to play during the ceremony.
Osama Bin Laden’s organizations have been given credit for having trained some of the fighters responsible for bringing down the American helicopter in the infamous ‘Black Hawk Down’ incident in Somalia. Images of the body of the dead helicopter pilot being dragged through the streets by a mob of Skinnies—one of them sticking the barrel of his rifle into the anus of the corpse disturbingly come to mind. That’s how these Muslims treat our dead. We already know how Osama…, I mean Obama, treats the bodies of the murderous Muslim trash, his Muslim ‘Brothers from the Hood.’
Obama said that the United States is not a Christian nation. He may be right, because if we were we would be kicking the living shit out of Muslims from Mecca to Medina right now.
Obama said we are not at war with Islam. He is a liar. Islam is the enemy. There are moderate Muslims who simply do not follow the teachings of Islam, one would describe them as “nominal” Muslim, ‘in name only,’ but there is no moderate Islam and no “radical” Islam. To characterize any sect of Islam as “radical” implies that there is a moderate Islam; an Islam which does not advocate murder and advance a world-wide domination agenda unto the establishment of a one-world Caliphate. Islam is the enemy. Obama’s criminal usurpation of the presidency of the most powerful nation in the world is the single greatest achievement by a Muslim in Islam’s struggle for world domination in history. Obama has made a dhimmi of the United States of America.
Islam’s multi-faceted strategy of political jihad, religious jihad, military jihad, economic jihad, mass media jihad, educational jihad, etc…, etc…, unto the establishment of Sharia as a dominant legal / political system is moving ahead most successfully in the United States under Obama’s criminal usurpation of the presidency.
The Declaration of Independence begins with a preamble under the heading ‘The Unanamous Declaration of the Thirteen States of America,’ and continues, “When in the Course of human events, It becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God…”, the Lord Jesus Christ, “…entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Said preamble needs now in our time at the helm of our ship of state to be amended by the following sentiments inserted after the words ‘which have connected them with another’ by extending the wording to address the enemy we face today, the murderous cult of Islam, and read as follows: ‘…which have connected them with another even to the degree of tolerating intolerable ideological or religious beliefs which have and do define themselves through the actions of adherents to such beliefs as the enemy of the liberty which with we are endowed by our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Since the murderous cult of Islam has throughout its history and does today explicitly hold to doctrines of world domination and the dhimmitudinization of non-Muslims, ‘We the People’ must recognize that those values espoused in the teachings of Islam are incompatible with a free society and that the murderous cult of Islam cannot – must not – be tolerated in the United States of America or any of her territories.
It was the contention of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in recognizing the entitlement of separate and equal station availed by the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, the Lord Jesus Christ, unto a free nation that any such nation’s citizens should rightly exercise the action of decently respecting the opinions of mankind in the Course of human events by declaring the causes which impel them towards separation in the trial of their time—separation from Great Britain.
Americans today should as well decently respect the opinions of mankind in the Course of human events and declare as we face the trial of our time – the world-wide expansion of the murderous cult of Islam; an enemy as insurmountable in its dimensions as Great Britain seemed unto our founding fathers – the causes which impel us now unto the separation, rejection and exclusion of the murderous cult of Islam from among us. America must determine to defeat Islam. Nothing short of unconditional surrender will suffice for to permit Islam within a society is an invitation for the viral spread of the cult which fundamentally holds to aspirations of world domination under a one-world Islamic Caliphate.
Holding the truths which are self-evident as did our founding fathers denies the toleration of any encroachment upon those same truths by erroneous ideologies which deny the Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ, from Whom we are endowed with ‘certain unalienable Rights.’ The truth 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’ rings familiar and true in the hearts of all those who would call themselves Americans. Those words are the very tintinnabulation resounding for generations within ‘We the People’ of the United States of America of the Spirit of ’76′, the American Spirit of Liberty, revered and saluted symbolically in America’s Liberty Bell which, though cracked and silent, still rings loudly in the hearts of those who assent to the truth that all men are, in fact, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.
The Declaration of Independence continues, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from 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 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 or 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.”
The freedom of religion determined by and for ‘We the People’ in the First Amendment to the Constitution needs not be extended unto adherents to the murderous cult of Islam for the words ‘When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object…’ are a working definition for Islam’s doctrinal strategy – that is to say, ‘design’ – of DHIMMITUDE. Islam advances an invariable pursuit of an object: namely, a one-world Islamic Caliphate, and evinces a design to reduce America under absolute despotism. It is our right and our duty to throw off and throw out such a murderous cult as Islam as sure as it would be to throw off any government that would arise which so clearly met the description of that government our forefathers chose to warn us of.
It is our duty to provide a new Guard for our future security: a new, legitimate president who will lead us in the war in which we are engaged with the murderous cult of Islam. Our enemy, Islam, reduces all non-Muslims unto the status of dhimmi; a status with no rights under the absolute despotism of Sharia law.
The words written to protect America from abuses and usurpations by an hypothetical derelict American government apply equally, indeed more so, as instruction as how to proceed against any enemy which meets the description in the warning from our founding fathers so precisely as does the murderous cult of Islam.
It is the right and the duty of those who would defend the constitution and American Liberty to exclude the murderous cult of Islam from the religious freedoms bought with the blood and toil of Americans and throw out of our country adherents to such a murderous cult which espouses an agenda of world domination through terror.
America must expel all Muslims who advocate the cancerous spread of Islam in order to guard her future security. If America does not take this drastic step now future generations of Americans shall suffer the same fate as the citizens of all non-Muslim countries where Islam has spread like a disease throughout its recorded history. Future generations of Americans shall have to take up the fight under far worse conditions wherein the murderous cult shall have entrenched itself more deeply within America’s borders. THE PRESENCE OF ISLAM IS AN INVITATION TO JIHAD.
No free society should tolerate Islam. America must determine to defeat her enemy and demand nothing less than unconditional surrender. History clearly illustrates that compromise with the murderous cult of Islam inevitably leads to subjugation.
We may as well start with the ‘Manchurian’ Muslim from Mombasa, a.k.a. ‘Bath House Barry,’ a.k.a. Soebarkah, a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Harrison J. Bounel, a.k.a. Barack ‘King Hussein’ Obama, Jr.
If indeed Mr. Obama took the oath of office using the Koran He is a fraud President in my opinion
The Oath Of Office has proven to be worthless since not a single Member of Congress honored that oath, if they would have Obama would have been removed from office in chains. Obama being sworn in today is a joke, I could care less what they use, a Quran or a bible, their words have proven to be hollow and worthless, so why bother to pretend?
Who can take his oath seriously? He said the Constitution is a “flawed” document … how can he defend something that is flawed in his mind?
WE HAVE A GIANT PROBLEM.. osluma HAS CONTROL OVER THE MILITARY AND NATIONAL GUARD….. Hard to over come….
For Barack Obama, a Constitutional Lawyer, supposedly, he knows he is ineligible to be the President of the United States. For him to take the Oath of Office, for the Presidency, for the office of President of the United States. He knowingly committed Fraud and Treason. He is a Liar and a Son Of the Most Low Satan. He did commit TREASON by taking the OATH. And the Congress, by introduced legislation to remove the Natural Born Citizen clause from the Constitution, 8 times, between 2003 and 1007, also committed Treason. The ones that sponsored the legislation did it because they wanted that Son Of Sat Tan to be the President of the USA. They also have committed Treason, because their goal was to allow Barack Obama, to legally become the President, and when they could not, the DNC nominated him for President even though they knew he did not Legally meet the Requirements to be the President. Because they did that, they too are guilty of TREASON.
