Liberty or Tyranny: Are You an Oath Keeper? Choose Sides Now

In post Patriot Act / NDAA 2012 America, the people, our law enforcement officers, and our military members, need to decide  what our country's legacy is to be. Would we be so complacent as to let America fall into becoming a tyrannical despotism? The Beacon of Freedom, as originally intended by the founders, extinguished in totalitarian encroachments upon the natural rights declared inalienably ours in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution?

We as a people have been railroaded by our "servants" in government for multiple decades into sacrificing our freedoms upon the alter of security. This trend has been turbo-charged since 9/11 in the form of tyrannical legislations becoming law, all in the name of American safety and National Interest. More deaths have have been attributed to influenza in one year then have occurred as a result of terrorism in the ten years since 9/11, with the flu killing approximately 40,000 Americans every year, while terrorism has killed less than 12,000 in ten years, including our brothers and sisters fighting for us in the military.

With that said, does the concept of "implied security" as a result of a litany of encroachments on our Constitutional freedoms and liberties justify the stifling of those same natural, God given rights?

As Americans, we have come to a historic crossroads. In essence, a repeat of the crossroads our founders had reached when they chose to put their quill to parchment, letting the world know the American Colonies would no longer allow its People to be subjugated to the tyrannical policies of the King of England. We are at this decision now. A point where each one of us MUST decide which path, as an individual, we will follow. Will you throw your support in with the continual abuses of our government against the Constitution and the People, or will you stand for Freedom and Liberty by actually keeping the oath which ALL of our Armed Forces and public servants must take?

From the Oathkeepers.org website:

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Officers Oath

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.

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!

We, as individuals, do not have the option of deferring this decision to some future point. We each need to decide right now, which side we are on.

Steward Rhodes is the founder of Oath Keepers. In the Video below, he makes it clear the current state the federal government has brought us to, and the decision we all must ultimately make:

Senate OKs indefinite detention of American citizens without charges Provision

Senate OKs Controversial Detainee Provision, Setting Up Fight With White House

Senate OKs Controversial Detainee Provision, Setting Up Fight With White House

The Senate soundly defeated a move to strip out controversial language requiring mandatory detention of some terror suspects, voting it down 61 to 37 and escalating a fight with the Obama administration over the future course of the war on terror.

The proposed amendment to the massive National Defense Authorization Act would require the FBI and other civilian law enforcement agencies to transfer al-Qaida suspects arrested overseas on charges of planning or carrying out a terror attack into military custody. It wouldn’t apply to American citizens, but the change has drawn strong opposition from civil rights groups and the White House, which has promised to veto the defense bill if that language was included.

Traitors To Liberty, Freedom and The People.

For Freedom and Liberty - A Call For Statesmen

Thomas Jefferson

With the dawning of a new decade, the American People need to reflect on our past greatness, and the restoration of that greatness in the future. As Thomas Jefferson once stated, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". The political systems in Washington, the States, and our local governments, are infiltrated with those who would deny the people our country’s greatness and its Beacon of Liberty which  has shone throughout the world since America’s founding.

Our country’s forefathers labored extensively to provide the people a government which would not be under the thumb of a central bureaucracy. Yet, since the turn of the 20th century, the elements of socialism, progressivism and Marxism have worked to undermine our own liberties and freedom, while having us concentrate on being the policeman, and caretaker of the world.

Our country has been stolen from us! The People are no longer in control of their government. Special interest lobbyists pad the pockets of hired gun politicians who were placed there by the dollars generated from purchases by the American people. You buy goods, the mega company makes its money and uses it to find their  ”Golden Boy”  politician. They buy a seat in our “republican” government. 

Senators used to be selected by their State's Legislature before the 17th Amendment put them out on the auction block.The respective state's legislative body would appoint their representatives to go to Washington D.C. and be its voice. After the 17th Amendment, they became another resource which could be supported and funded by the special interest groups and mega-corporations. Now dollars can be funneled into the campaigns of those running for senator. They became the voice of the special interest agenda, not an advocate for the needs of the state. These same politicians, once in the seat of power, lay out, propose, and vote in the agendas being paid for by their special interest financiers. The American people, who this so called “statesman” is supposed to represent, is ignored, even though their cries are heard loudly and visually, even on the steps of the Capital in Washington DC.

It is given to us the right, the duty, to call to account those who would bind us in the chains of tyranny. We are to work to identify the individuals, special interests, and lobbyists who are pushing us to be subjugated under the power of an ever increasing central government.

Our call to action is to unite with those who would fight for the cause of Liberty and Freedom by aligning ourselves with  people working to identify and remove the sickness which has corrupted our political system. Let us support statesmen who will represent the People and restore honor to the office. by electing those who would be willing to stand tall against corruption and paid influence. Those who could raise their right hand and swear an oath to uphold the U. S. Constitution and actually do it. Let us get representatives that actually work to fulfill their oath.

For Freedom and Liberty.

Quoting Jefferson again:

 When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
