Oath of Office, Meaningless Words?

On Presidential Inauguration Day, January 20th 2009 in accordance with the United States Constitution, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of United States John Roberts administered the Oath of Office to the new incoming President.

Article II Section I of the Constitution clearly states, “Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: -" 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.” This of course is sworn on the Holy Bible.

To men of honesty and integrity this Solemn Oath of Office is not taken lightly, and to the best of their ability they will follow the dictates of those words written by our Founding Fathers, ooh so many years ago. On the other hand we have a President with a different agenda, and the Oath of Office becomes nothing more than a formality, and its intended purpose has no relevance to his Marxist agenda, and presents no diffidence to achieve his goal of a Socialist America.

Since taking office he has managed to incur more cumulative debt on the America people than all past Presidents combined. He has taken over, or nationalized the insurance industry, the banking industry, taken control of a publicly held Automobile company, and fired its CEO. These actions are pure and simple fascism.

The writing of Executive Orders appointing 42 Czars (most not confirmed by the U.S. Senate) is an Executive Power granted the President to help appointed Executive Officers direct their operations, they all answer to the President, and circumvent checks and balances of the Legislative and Judicial Branches. Executive Powers granted the President, and consequently the authority to write Executive Orders are vaguely referenced, and granted in Article II, Section 1. of the Constitution. As a result the purview, and decision making, become the action of the President (Executive Branch) alone. Can you spell “Tyranny”?

The President is supposed to be a Constitutional Scholar. He has been quoted on the air during an interview that “The Constitution is fundamentally flawed, the Founding Fathers got it wrong.” That quote is patently incorrect, it is his opinion, and not the understanding of main stream America. Sorry Mr. President, the Founding Fathers had it right, you have it wrong. Two and a third centuries of this country growing and becoming the greatest, most powerful nation in the world was no accident. There is an abundance of impirical data that substantiates the facts.


The point of this blog is to point out that everything this President is doing is leading to more government. Just to name a few of the things, less freedom, higher taxes, abrogation of our rights, and taking away our freedom to choose, and how we want to live our lives. None of the items on his Marxist agenda remotely promote his Oath sworn on the Holy Bible to,"preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” I recall seeing a sign at the D.C. Rally in Washington on 9/12 that very succinctly stated " You Took An Oath To Defend the Constitution, Not Destroy It!"



Unfortunately, we are stuck with a rank amateur as our leader, still on the campaign trail, not having a clue what the duties of the Commander in Chief are, not understanding who our Eastern European Allies are, as evidenced by his pulling the rug out from under Poland and hanging them out to dry by cancelling the Missile Defense Shield. These hardened foreign leaders see him as lacking in experience, and weak. They will play him like Itzhak perlman on his Stradivarius violin. Mr. Obama is no match for these leaders.

May God Bless our Country, and all who love her.

Can You Hear Us Now?

When Glenn Beck put forth the idea of the 9/12 Project it peaked my interest and I was hoping it would develop, come to fruition, and become a national movement. It has, and it did. Millions of like minded American Patriots became energized, and as a result we the people, of our own volition eagerly joined the movement with renewed hope for saving our country from Statism, and bringing it back from the brink of impending disaster that would ultimately render our U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights as irrelevant, and our country's sovereignty destroyed.


I felt an overwhelming compulsion to make the trek to our Nations Capitol and participate in what will be the incipient stages of we the people taking back our country and reinstating our freedoms and rights as guaranteed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It should be noted that Beck's 9/12 group was not alone, we were joined by several groups all banded together for this great rally.



On the morning of 9/12 when we arrived at the Capitol (about 11:30), I can only describe the scene as a mass of humanity as far as the eye could see. Nearly everyone was carrying either a sign, or a flag. I proudly carried the yellow Colonial "Don't Tread on me" flag. The main stream media for the most part tried to ignore the scope of the people attending this rally. It was estimated by reliable sources that anywhere from 1.5 million to 2 million people attended. The Capitol Police stated that it was the largest crowd they had ever witnessed for this kind of event. I was impressed with the demeanor, and conduct of the people during the event. It was the largest, and nicest group of people I have ever had the honor and pleasure to be involved with. There is no doubt that each and every one of us were of a single mind, and determined to implement the much needed change. There was a distinct sense of solidarity.

This event was real, effective, and we will continue the pressure until the President, his administration, and our elected officials get the message. This message was delivered to the President; "Can you hear us now Mr. Obama?" and in response to the Presidents challenge that he was going to "call out the nay Sayers on his health care reform." We responded with a chorus of tens of thousands of voices "HERE WE ARE!"

The adjective "awesome" is over used, however, it is appropriate in this case.

May God Bless America and all who love her!
