Today, our nation is facing perhaps the most critical situation it has faced since 1776 when our nation declared our Independence! Our very Constitution is being attacked by a man who has taken an oath of office to “…preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States” and also by those who have taken an oath to “support and defend” that same Constitution. Yet, some elected representatives find it in their best interest to refuse to honor their Oath of Office. We the people had sent these senators and representatives to their office with the idea that they would be trusted with our Constitution. But instead, they betray the very principles of their office. Some lay claim that this is an act of treason. With this in mind, let us look at just what treason is defined as.
Treason is defined by Webster’s online as:
1. the betrayal of trust; 2. the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or his family.
The 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, which many would use to define words pertaining to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, defines Treason as:
Treason is the highest crime of a civil nature of which a man can be guilty. Its signification is different in different countries. In general, it is the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power. In monarchies, the killing of the king, or an attempt to take his life, is treason. In England, to imagine or compass the death of the king, or of the prince, or of the queen consort, or of the heir apparent of the crown, is high treason; as are many other offenses created by statute.
Understanding what the definition of treason is, let us see just what our elected officials in Washington are doing with the Second Amendment and see if whether they are in fact committing an act of treason.
Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Let us list those officials who have now committed acts of treason by their actions and words: President Barack Obama, with his signing of unconstitutional executive orders contrary to the Constitution; Vice president Joe Biden, with his words making an attempt to change opinion of the Constitution; and Attorney General Eric Holder, with his words and his strong statements against the very oath he took. We cannot forget Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and her deliberate attempt to classify weapons that are now legal under the Constitution. Here we must present some idea of why “We The People” do not have to abide by any laws made that are in direct conflict with the Second Amendment and State laws.
Even Attorney General Eric Holder has made statements that are contrary to his oath of office.
In a 1995 address to the Woman’s National Democratic Club, Holder announced the launch of a public campaign to “really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”
“What we need to do,” he explained, “is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes.”
Holder also advanced the notion that “Every day that goes by, about 12, 13 more children in this country die from gun violence”—a statistic that would be true only if one classified 18-year-old, gun-wielding gangsters as “children.” In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Holder wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post calling for a new law that would give the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms “a record of every firearm sale.” He also advocated that prospective gun buyers be checked against the secret “watch lists” compiled by the government.
In 2008, Holder argued that “the Second Amendment did not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms” but only protected government militias’ rights to guns. Scholar and political commentator John Lott writes that he “can’t find even one gun control law that Holder has opposed.”
Even Vice President Joe Biden made very serious statements that are not at all reasonable when he stated “You don’t need an assault rifle to stop an intruder, you just need a double barrel shotgun with ammunition, the assault weapon is not as accurate as a shotgun.” Here it seems that Biden has never been in a situation where the so-called “assault weapon” was used against several people attacking a single individual where that individual overcame the number of people attacking them.
Here, it becomes very clear that those who present unconstitutional laws do not uphold the very Constitution they swore an oath to support and defend. In doing so, all those who take a stand counter to the Constitution are people committing treason and making laws that cannot be upheld because they are unconstitutional. This must stop, and these people must be held accountable for what they have done.
How can “We The People” even think of stopping these types of treasonous actions by the people we elected to serve? We as a nation must come to understand the true assaults that are now being made upon our nation by those sworn to support and defend our Constitution. We as a people must and should do all we can to ensure that the Constitution is not destroyed.
God help us all before it is too late!

I hear and read all about the hype on guns, yet no one mentions the thousands of deaths and sick minds from Pharmaceutical approved by the FDA drugs. Drugs that AMA/Pharmaceutical trained Doctor push and all for greater profits. What does your Corrupt Senators or Representatives care as long as their palms are greased with the Blood Stained 30 pieces of Silver. These poison drugs murder more in one year than in ten years of War, yet no one will speak out. Why??? Then this corrupt Agency, the FDA allows thousands of toxic deadly poison to be used in your food supplies. Why? Once again profits to buy favors from your elected official who has allowed the FDA and other Agencies to have totally uncontrolled free reins. So, to all Comrades out their keep quiet, take your poison drugs and feed your child toxic foods that make them sick in body and mind for the great new Messiah and totally corrupt Government Bureaucrats now rule. Do not, no never question your Doctor about the drugs that he or she pushes on you. Never complain about the thousands of percent markup on the poison deadly drugs as that would offend these murders. Just complain about the guns, oil companies terrible profits which is miniscule in compared to the Pharmaceuticals. Now just a Quote for you to think about: THE THING THAT BUGS ME IS THAT PEOPLE THINK THE FDA IS PROTECTING THEM. IT ISN’T. THE FDA IS PROTECTING THE PROFITS OF THE CORPORATIONS THAT PAY US AND THE POLITICIANS!” Herbert Ley, M.D. Former FDA commissioner. Take Note:” Pay Us and the Politicians”. Then just why are you fat? Thomas Jefferson said it quite well:”If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in a sorry state as are the souls who live under tyranny.” So again Comrades, Bow very low with heads way down with backside up to receive the Shaft from the great new Messiah, for VP Biden said it best. The new Messiah carries a big stick, and that seems just what you Comrades are begging for. Chef Robert here in what is left of the land of Enchantment.
I agree with you completely! Every time I see one of those ambulance chasing attorneys advertising on TV about being maimed or having a friend or loved one die by all the drugs and other things that evidently were never really tested I shudder!
I have a sister now that will never walk again because she had a hip replacement about 25 years ago when she was very young. The IDIOT doctor put the joint in backwards and she has suffered ever since.
She just had it replaced again and called me yesterday the doctor said that the old one did so much damage she will never be able to walk again without help! The whole family is devastated!
You are so right, robert1407. There is a book written by Kevin Trudeau entitled, “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About.” He tells how the drug industry is corrupt and so is the FDA. They make drugs that docors prescribe for us that hurt our health instead of curing. And regarding gun control because of a mentally ill young man killing innocent children; well, Dr. Peter Breggin, a Psychiatrist wrote a book about how psycho-tropic drugs are causing people to kill themselves and others. The book is, Toxic Psychology. Dr. Breggin investigated drug companies who make prozac and paxil. He found, to his shock, that these drugs do, indeed, cause people to kill others or selves. He has the evidence and he wrote a book, but I guess it’s not widely read of talked about. Most of this information is suppessed. Gun control IS NOT the solution. Fixing our mental health system and using other means besided dangeruos durgs to treat mentally ill people is the REAL solution. These tyrants in our government are just using these shootings as an excuse to violate our God-given Second Amendment rights. They are guilty of treason to the highest extent. Also, a lot of people do speak out but they are being censored.
Has anyone noticed that ever since Sandy Hook, all of a sudden, there are daily shootings.
Am I the only one who thinks that Ovomit and his crowd are behind this/
He is NOT above it…
No, you’re not the only one who noticed. I find it a bit odd myself. What also could be happening is that we are hearing more about these events to shore up the illegal prez’s attempts to take our guns.
Never let a good crisis go to waste … And if there isn’t one convenient that suits your agenda, manufacture one.
Only the koolaid drinkers could believe that this corrupt, power hungry, Marxist/fascist administration isn’t fuky capable of that.
Even the Russians know he`s a phony but the black folk thinks he God.
And, conveniently, you don’t hear about many, many lives saved because of someone carrying a concealed gun; the MSM sure won’t report those stories!
I beg to differ, I have been calling Obama Presidency Treason since day one, and I have been shouting it out loud on Facebook and Twitter. Not only that, I have also been calling every member of Congress who failed to point out the Constitutional violation of Obama not being a “natural born citizen” as defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in the matter of Minor v. Happersett in 1875 by a decisioin of 9-0. That definition being any person born to 2, not 1 but 2 U.S. Citizen parents on U.S. soil, is a “natural born citizen” and every member of Congress knows this, as it is still precedent in the Supreme Court. I even filed suit in Pa.Supreme Court to have Obama removed form all ballots as ineligible. The Liberal Left Pa Court kept putting up roadblocks and changing conditions for my suit to proceed, until it as too late. Ther are more then just Obama who are Traitros to the Constitution and the American people. The Federal Election Commission, who’s job it is to vett all Candidates to ensure their eligiblilty, is as guilty as if they had forceably installed Obama in office.
So don’t say, None Dare call it Treason, only those who don’t want it known that they are TRAITORS, are the ony ones who Dare not call it Treason.
Millions of us are not afraid to call Obama and his minions traitors. The real question is, if they’re not “in on it,” why aren’t members of Congress calling them traitors?
If they don’t stand up and stop Obama’s treason and tyrrany, they are ALSO enemies of We the People and should be treated accordingly.
I agree, just where are the Corrupt Elected Senators and Representatives? Most likely in the backroom with palms getting greased with the Blood Stained 30 pieces of Silver. The Backroom where the corrupt, like Reid and his traitors meet to plan out the destruction of the what is left of the Republic. Face it, we no longer have any control as these corrupt Senators and Representatives as they have sold us out to the Petty Corrupt Bureaucrats which control the the Agencies like the FDA, EPA, TSA, and on and on. To believe that these Agencies were given total power and control for the good of the peons is totally crazy. But, maybe not, as long as your are a good Serf, eat your poisoned foods and take your death dealing drugs all will be OK. Just be good and do what you are told and ask no question as Big Brother will make sure you are taken care of one way or another.
THE TRAITORS LIST KEEPS GROWING,,,,all most all of ADOLF OBAMA CORRUPT REGIME IS ON THE LIST OF TRAITORS !!!! One day will be hung for treason !!!! THE LIST in congress is growing !!!!
ONE DAY VERY SOON WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND HANG AS TRAITORS OF WE THE PEOPLE !!!!!!!
Here’s what we need to do:
FIRST – Those whom were sent to that cesspool DC to represent us and do not do their jobs, we do recalls on their asses. They need to know that just like any other job, if you don’t perform YOU’RE FIRED! Let them know we are NOT playing the radio with them and mean business.
SECOND – Those who have been remiss in following the Constitution get the guillotine. Again, we are not playing the FKING radio with you. We freaking mean business.
THIRD. All must be thoroughly vetted and PROVE they are citizens of the US. No more freaking illegal aliens running for president and getting in via fraudulent votes, leeches and other illegals coming here voting themselves all kinds of free services on the back of US taxpayers. SICK OF IT!
Next we go after the lame stream media for not reporting the facts and keeping us informed, Huge GIGANTIC fines for them ALL for hiding facts about the liars, whores and thieves in that stank cesspool called DC.
MAKE THEM follow the immigration laws already on the books. Why make more laws when they piss on the ones we have? WTF is so hard to understand about the word ILLEGAL????? Sick of illegals coming here demanding their freaking rights while they apply and receive free medical care, food stamps, a check and free phone. Send ALL ILLEGALS back to where ever in the world they came from and let them use the proper channels to come back. In addition, ban those coming here from enemy countries.
I could go on but my dinner is ready.
IT IS PURE TREASON! “We the People” have to ban together as one and denounce this administration. When he took the oath of office 4 yrs ago and again a couple weeks ago now he said he would defend and keep the oath of office to keep the uphold the Constitution and he swore on 2 bibles. WHAT HAPPENED? He didn’t keep his oath the first time and he has already broke the oath his second time around? WHERE IS CONGRESS AND WHERE IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT? aRE THEY SLEEPING AND DEAF? Wake up! Let’s hold this guys to his oath and either impeach him or get him on TREASON. Let’s go AMERICANS AND FIGHT TO KEEP OUR BELOVED COUNTRY. Ready to fight for America?
Swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution was simply the first official lie of each term.
Even Vice President Joe Biden made very serious statements that are not at all reasonable when he stated “You don’t need an assault rifle to stop an intruder, you just need a double barrel shotgun with ammunition, the assault weapon is not as accurate as a shotgun.” Here it seems that Biden has never been in a situation where the so-called “assault weapon” was used against several people attacking a single individual where that individual overcame the number of people attacking them.
HEY JOE. While my rifles would protect me against civil criminals, intruders, etc, THOSE SCUM are not why I own rifles. I bought them to protect me, my family, and anyone else who thinks the Constitution should provide protection against TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENTS. Why the hell can’t liberals get that through their thick skulls???
They ARE the tyrannical government …
Annie it’s time to get your guns and piece of short rope….. Out at the TALL TREE………….
After reading all of these post, I commend ALL of you!!!! The United States Of America is going to hell in a hand basket ,via the “new regime”, BIG TIME!!!! It amazes me how this dictator got into office for the 2nd time and all of the votes were not counted yet, including the overseas VETS that did the absentee ballots which excuse was that they all showed up the day after the election. Too late, the bought prez has already won the election and you will bow down to him. WANNA BET!!!!!!!! I have been ready to defend my rights for the past 4 plus years and it is comming to a head with not just me but for the rest of the sane country!!!!!
The article states, near the end, that:
“This must stop, and these people must be held accountable for what they have done.”
“We as a people must and should do all we can to ensure that the Constitution is not destroyed.”
My question is this: “Held accountable” by whom? Who is going to “do” this, considering that it is our “government” that is “doing” this against us, “we the people”?
I have heard before that there are two types of people: Those who make things happen and those who wonder what the heck just happened. I have to trust that someone, somewhere, who is as offended and concerned about what is going on as many of us are, is working to create a core group that will do whatever is necessary to battle the evil in this country. For them to “advertise” on the web about their plans would be very unwise, given the climate and surveillance of U.S. citizens today – yet I have to believe that someone is doing something. Or am I wrong? I hope we aren’t ALL just talking about what’s wrong and not doing anything about it.
At the very least, we can all lobby our representatives in Congress. What else can we do?
John Stormer wrote his book decades ago. If only more people had listened.
Stormer’s main book None Dare Call It Treason argued that America was losing the cold war because it was being betrayed by its elites, who were procommunist. The title of the book is derived from an epigram of Sir John Harington: “Treason doth never prosper. What’s the reason? Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason.” It was published in 1964, during Barry Goldwater’s bid for the presidency, and sold over one million copies in the first six months. It was distributed in bulk quantities and during the campaign six million copies were circulated.[9] It was immensely influential with the harder line sections of the American Righta[10] and has been described as a cult classic of the New Right.[11] Since it was published by a private imprint, however, it never appeared on best-seller lists.[12]
Barnes and Noble has that book available for order………..my suggestion……….stop ordering online, stop using ‘rewards’ cards, etc. They are being used by who knows to track your every move, location and purchase. Pay cash……having you video taped making your purchases is bad enough….but cash does not leave a paper trail.
Treason is the highest crime of a civil nature of which a man can be guilty. Its signification is different in different countries. In general, it is the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power.
See 18USC,Part 1,Chapter 115, Sec.2381
AND
The UCMJ,Section 906,Article 106
Obama is a Fraud,Traitor,Spy and Criminal deviant. He MUST be tried and if convicted,HUNG BY THE NECK UNTIL DEAD or SHOT TO DEATH BY A FIRING SQUAD!!
What Obama has done is treason. I will help anyone locate a legal Militia in their state contact me at: kmrecruiter@hushmail.com
I have been calling Obama a traitor for FIVE years now. I have formal charges filed against him FOR treason.
Of course I “dare” to call him a traitor. Obama IS a traitor and a spy.
Don’t have to draw me no damn picture. He’s guilty as hell. So are alot of other people, the military for one, he’s got help with Reid and Holder covering his back, i.e. one from impeachment, the other from prosecution…Semper Fi
Check out Orly Taitz page http://www.orlytaitzesq.com. She has a petition on her page (scroll down is about 1/4 way down her page on left side). She is in currently in court on the matter of President Obama.
One better be more concerned with the Supreme Court in the next four years… Cause one or two of them will retire…and Obama will be able to appoint two of his own to fill those spots… that is how our country will be totally ruined…. wont matter what they bring before the court.. they will give favor to the Democrats… So crying about Obama now… is a waste of time.. he’s not going to be impreached.
