ARE YOU WITH ME?
America was founded by people who came to this land in search of Liberty and opportunity. When an oppressive government began to restrict their Liberty in the 1770s, they hardened their resolve, took an oath to stand together and risked everything for the cause of Liberty. They ultimately won their
independence and succeeded in breaking the chains and shackles of servitude to the King of England.

Those brave men and women understood that our rights come from our Creator, not from any government, and that our rights are UNALIENABLE – and cannot be taken away or diminished in any way by any government.
That’s why the constitution was written very carefully by the Founders who established a Republic to protect our UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
That’s why the constitution was written very carefully by the Founders who established a Republic to protect our UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.
The United States Constitution doesn’t contain thousands of pages of meaningless legal jargon, like most of the federal legislation written today, but rather it was written so that every American could easily understand it. It clearly limits the power of the federal government by only giving it very specific, enumerated powers. All other powers are reserved to the States and to the People.
Over the last 100 years or so, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, our federal government has gradually increased its powers beyond its Constitutional limitations, while our individual freedoms are gradually being lost to this ever growing and more intrusive government.
We are living in a country vastly different than the one many of us grew up in and one that has become almost foreign to us in many ways. America has become a country where our common language, core principles and shared beliefs have been unconstitutionally tossed aside by the socialists and globalists in our federal government and by radical activist judges who continually show their disdain for the will of the American people.
Our federal government has created new rights for a wide variety of special interest groups, encouraged a culture of dependency, all in the name of Fairness, Tolerance and Political Correctness, while at the same time, they are intolerant of us and call us tea baggers, truthers, birthers Fascists, Nazis and Racists because we dare to disagree with their socialist agenda and redistribution of our wealth.
There is only one way to bring our federal government back to its original foundation and limitation, and that is to make the federal government ‘OBEY THE CONSTITUTION.”
What is particularly troubling is the fact that at a time when our country continues to be invaded by millions of illegal aliens, and many of our states, particularly our border states, are struggling to survive under this invasion, the current President of the United States, for the first time in our history, is siding with the foreign invaders against our own citizens.
Rather than helping the states fight this invasion, the current administration puts up billboard-size signs warning American citizens to stay out of the desert in their own country because of the dangers posed by violent foreign drug smugglers other criminals who cross our border at will. Rather than live up to his oath to protect the American people, our president violates his oath and chooses to stand side by side with socialist organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union and LaRaza to defend and protect the illegal alien invaders and the Mexican drug cartels, all at the expense of the American people, particularly in the border states. My fellow citizens, this is the very definition of Tyranny.
Our own federal government is slowly but surely becoming the enemy of its own citizens because our elected officials and federal judges are completely disregarding the oaths they took to protect and defend the constitution.
I am a member of an organization called the OathKeepers. It is a national organization comprised of active duty and former members of the military and law enforcement who have sworn to honor their oaths to support and defend the US Constitution. We pledge our lives and our sacred honor in the defense of Liberty and the Republic and Our motto is: NOT ON OUR WATCH!.”
That means that we will never stand on the sidelines as our Liberty is under attack, NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW, NOT NEXT WEEK, NEVER.
Those of us who have taken this oath at one or more times in our lives, have sworn to continue to stand by that oath to support and defend the Constitution.
THE OATH KEEPERS STAND FOR FREEDOM:
We stand for: FREEDOM from the invasion of illegal aliens.
We stand for FREEDOM from cap and trade legislation, and the bailout of international banks, wall street, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Global Warming Scam, the Green Jobs scam and stimulus handouts to political donors and ‘ crony’s.
We stand for FREEDOM from the collection of racial, ethnic and other data on Americans that is used to divide and separate us into groups of hyphenated Americans. I am not a white American, a black American, an Irish-American or a Latino-American. I AM AN AMERICAN.
We stand for FREEDOM from the increasing attacks on family farm, ranches and small businesses.
We stand for FREEDOM from the destructive international so-called free trade agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA that continue to destroy our manufacturing industry and cost millions of Americans their jobs.
We stand for FREEDOM from the endless cycle of war and the invasion of other countries without legitimate reasons and without the constitutionally required Declaration of War, all for the financial benefit of the military industrial complex.
We stand for FREEDOM from the United Nations, a communist Trojan Horse that is attacking our individual freedoms and our nation sovereignty like a cancer. Not only must the USA get out of the United Nations, but its time to kick the United nations out of the USA.
We stand for FREEDOM from the enemies within our own country who push for a socialist ‘New World Order’ run by crooked politicians, socialist Billionaires and their non-governmental organizations, international bankers and international corporations.
We stand for FREEDOM from a government controlled Health Care system and mandatory vaccinations.
We stand for FREEDOM from the incessant attacks on our Second Amendment guaranteed rights to possess firearms to defend ourselves.
We stand for FREEDOM from a government controlled education system that is not only in the process of re-writing our history, but from a system that has been dumbed down by design and is more about indoctrinating our children than educating them.
We stand for FREEDOM from the drugging of 6 million of our children every day for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry.
Let us remember that at critical times in the 235 YEAR history of this great country, certain generations of Americans have been called upon to defend Liberty in its maximum hour of danger. In 1776, our Founders’ generation was given that honor and privilege as were the generations of Americans who lived through World War I and World War II.
At these and other critical times in our history, brave Americans have taken an oath and stood as one united force against foreign aggressors and our Liberty was preserved. Today in America, our Liberty is once again under attack. This time, however, the attack is not coming from some foreign power, but rather it is coming from an enemy within; from our own federal government and from those traitorous individuals and special interest groups, who pull the strings of the politicians and the media, like puppet masters from behind a curtain of secrecy, bribery and deception.
Make no mistake; the danger to our Liberty is as real today as it was in 1776, 1917 and 1941.
Our Founders repeatedly warned us of the dangers that a free America would face in the future and that the most serious danger to our Liberty would come from within. They also told us that it is not only an honor and a privilege to defend our Liberty, but that it is also our sacred duty to do so, not just for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children.
Just as those brave generations of Americans have done before us, OUR generation must be prepared to stand up, take the oath and join together as one united force to defend Liberty in America.
This is a critical time in our country’s history because our Liberty is once again in mortal danger and it must be defended now!. WE are now the generation that must act and this is OUR time to Stand Up and be counted! If we join together in 2011 and 2012 as one united force to defend Liberty, we can take America back!

Why are you called “Oathkeepers ” When you do NOTHING about what you say? Half of what you say you will no tolerate has been happening for the last 12 years or more. Stand up and do something. I can’t do this alone as I also took an oath, but I’m only one.
Group together and DO SOMETHING. Stop these sick people

“I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, “Well! give me peace in my day.” Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace;” and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty. Not a place upon earth might be so happy as America. Her situation is remote from all the wrangling world, and she has nothing to do but to trade with them. A man can distinguish himself between temper and principle, and I am as confident, as I am that God governs the world, that America will never be happy till she gets clear of foreign dominion. Wars, without ceasing, will break out till that period arrives, and the continent must in the end be conqueror; for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire.” Thomas Pain – The Crisis December 23, 1776
If we don’t – as men – stand up to all that now approaches to drive the final stake in the heart of our liberty – our children and theirs will soon know nothing of such liberty – nor possess the means to rise up and remove it. We must not leave it the next generation to fix.

While I agree with all of the symptoms of the Federal Bankers government, what I don’t agree with is that anyone can just make the Federal government obey the constitution. One is not compatible with the other. The constitutional government explains in simple terms the diversity of the republic, domestic power to the states and the roles of the three branches, to be limited in power and scope. None of this is true. If the constitutional government were the host, then the Federal government is a lethal parasite, a viral worm that divides, destroys and consumes everything. It cannot possibly be allowed to continue in any capacity, and step one to its inoculation is the forced military style shutdown of the Federal Reserve banking system, followed by a reissue of currency and a national American banking system. Step 2 is a recall of all military personnel, armaments and equipment worldwide forever. Step 3 is an end to the IRS and the Federal income tax and the Social Security administration. Step 4 is state to state immigration policy and enforcement, with minimal interference by the national government. Step 6 is an elimination in entirety of all Federal law, an elimination in entirety of all BAR associations and any document written in legalese. There’s quite a few more steps, but this is a start. It is time to pull the plug on the foreign influenced and manipulated bankers government called Federal.

Masterful article. You have nailed the many ills America is suffering. I applaud Oathkeepers. United we stand, divided we fall, and the divide and conquering which has long been shredding not only the people but the very foundation of we,the people, our Constitution, has escalated. We either take a stand or fall. Let there be no mistake. The enemy is from within the gates. The entire regime of traitors who have initiated a “coup” and made a mockery of the principles we held highly and proudly need to face the ultimate reward for their treason. Americans have been lulled to a state of false security and illusion of “leadership” elected to uphold laws and primarily to uphold and honor above all subsequent laws, the ultimate law of this nation, THE US CONSTITUTION. Criminal families and political dynasties and all of their minions of leeches living off the toxic bloodlines of these barbarians have to meet their Waterloo. We need not look very far to see the destruction they have wrought with blood of innocent sons and daughters to bleed for their treachery,used like fish stocked in a pond, only to be consumed at the rich man’s plate. Lies,perpetual lies,to seduce and induce violence upon other nations for the gain of their greed and insatial power hunger. While we, the people mentioned in the Constitution are cast aside to live as paupers as they lavish our resources upon themselves and their minions. Words require action,and when we are all done talking,we know what we must do.
Thank God for the youth of today who have the wherewithal and courage to say”no more” and draw the line in the sand as we are sifted through the mechanisms of corruption. Thank God for the “children”. The true children, not the politicized mantra from the political whores who speak with forked tongues as they try to bedazzle us using “the children” as the buzz word for every deception they invent. Our children’s children’s future is of no effect if they are to be perpetual cannon fodder,or a nation of drug induced zombies destitute and broken. When our children can be taken by “Child Protection Service” at whim,vaccinated against our parental will,institutionalized in private prison enterprises,we are no more than fish being fed for the pleasure of the evil empire. Holding our children hostage is the sadistic pleasure of the sociopathic criminals both destroying the child and the family. Divide and conquer to the maximum is the game they play.

Excellent piece, John.
To Jeannon Kralj, Please take a moment to gather facts before casting aspersions. You obviously know nothing about Oath Keepers. Oath Keepers was founded in April of 2009 as an educational and outreach organization. The action taken is to educate oath takers on the meaning of that oath and encourage them to become Oath Keepers. We also ask that those who take an oath to the Constitution stand down in the face of unconstitutional orders, as is required by various laws, regulations and statutes. We are quite successful in our outreach as evidenced by the growing number of military and law enforcement personnel who are doing the right thing.

Meaningless legal jargon, from useless vermin called Lawyers. Once we’ve restored our nation, that is one thing I propose to do, and that is completely ban that parasitic profession. They were banned originally, in the early colonies. Most people aren’t aware of that, but they were. And for good reason. Even then, those trying to start a new life and nation knew the danger to society these scum represented. We need to rid our nation of Communists and Socialists as well. Those people clearly stand against our way of self-government, and have no right to even live in this country. Their ideas and beliefs are pure Treason. If they won’t leave, imprison them, try them, and execute them for crimes against America. Strong term limits need to be set. Serve one or two terms at most, and you are DONE with government service. Period. No politician is that valuable that we need to keep them for life. Prevent them from having time to form power bases. And make lobbying the crime that it is. Bribery. Of Public Servants. Try and bribe a cop for a traffic ticket, you go to jail. Why should it be any different for lobbyists? There are several simple changes and additions we can make, to put an end to the big game that Washington D.C. has become. We need to act, decisively, and soon.

Oathkeepers have been around for over 5 years and our freedoms have precipitously disappeared. I do not see that Oathkeepers has taken any action at all, much less successful action.
I love my country and I love freedom. I am just not seeing Oathkeepers as bastions and defenders of freedom.
