This post is really in place to clarify a statement I made last week. I have suggested on several occasions that we as a movement need to view this as a war, and I truly believe that to be the case.
As I’ve mentioned before, our government has looked the camera in the eye and openly declared war on our way of life.
“We’re going to force you to do this or that, we’re going to take this liberty and that freedom from you, we’re coming after your free speech, we’re watching your every move, etc”
We’ve all heard it. We’ve all seen it. Yet I got a few replies telling me I should be careful and try not to use the word war. Which seems a little bizzare to me considering the circumstances.
Let’s face the facts here, the thugs in Washington are waging a war against us. There is no way to sugar coat that. They wish to dramatically change this country and to do so requires that they strip us of our ability to be politically active and financially strong.
In war, you want to cut off communication, freeze all financial assets, and disrupt the political system. Doesn’t that sound eerily familiar?
It does. And it’s because our own government is waging war against us right here in our own back yards. They’ve set up a mechanism through which they can control the economy, they’re close to controlling all forms of communication, and they’ve completely gutted our political system by letting lawyers run Congress for far too long.
This machine doesn’t care about our protests. They don’t care if we march on Washington. They don’t care if we win a battle here and there. They don’t care how big our movement gets.
All they care about is full and total control over our lives. And they’ll do whatever is necessary to obtain it.
As an American, I recognize this as an act against my life and liberty. I recognize this as a declaration of war against me.
It is what it is folks.
Just sayin…
-Eric Odom
This assault on our freedom has been slowly moving forward for years. The chief pushers have been associated with the Democrat Party. The Obama Administration has significantly stepped up the pace. In order to wage war, the enemy has to be identified. The TEA Party need not be political, but it would be good to recognize that there are good elected officials. Human beings everywhere lack perfection of insight.
I am afraid the thing that bothers me greatly is that not enough people are seeing what is happening to them and this Country. Instead, they see the more they get free the more “progressive” we are.
Don’t they know we already have been through and have fought off the Socialist tendencies in many wars and lives sacrificed in this country since its inception? Seems ashamed they don’t see their idea of progression is actually regression and we will need to do all this all over again.
Dunno, but I am hoping most people who have lived most of their years through the Cold War would realize the dangerous vibes in Washington. Too familiar. Even the Russian politicians who have lived through the Cold War have warned us. But the non thinkers who call themselves “progressive” don’t get it, do they???
How in heaven’s name did this House Health Bill get voted through last Saturday and be considered progressive when if you don’t agree with the bill, you will get fined and/or go to jail. Only the Entitlists will “win”. But only think they win.
Pathetic!!!!
For those who do not see that Our Freedom is slowly being taking away I feel Sorry, for they will wake up on day and must deceide Freedom or Chains.
I am for Freedom, and Freedom NOW.
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE FREE - COUNT ME IN.
We new what this guy (OBAMA) was before the brainwashed electorate voted him in. The Liberals are “Communists”. They were against the war to protect America from the beginning. Within weeks of 9/11. they were focused on changing the definition of enemy from Islamist Terrorists to George Bush. and with the help of the media they brainwashed enough of the people to get this Pseudo-Satin elected. The only people this government is willing to wage war upon is not the Enemy who is trying to kill us all, No…It’s us the tax payer, especially the “evil Christian working man”. Obama is willing to ally himself with our enemies via political correctness to help defeat us, and put us all in Bondage.
Hell No, they don’t care what the American people think. It won’t be long before our own armed forces will be ordered to turn against us.
We Must, Must revolt by every peacuful means includung Nation-Wide general strikes against this Obamanation from Hell.
May God have mercy on us all.
It is obvious that our “political leaders” have an agenda, and don’t care how we feel about it. How long are we going to stand here and bitch, and not start the process that is our legal right, and part of due process? It has been time for recall elections for some time. If we recall these fools, it will get their attention. We had better get started now, before they take that right away from us.
This President is moving this Nation to Socilist style GoV> and the GOP. is doing nothing ! There is a Reason Mark Lloyd is running the FCC and the Whitehouse is ussing the NEA to Spread his Agenda there is a Reason for Health take over and Cap and Trade all socilist bill’s There is a reason Obama gives a Speech to Native American’s like Van Jones. The sooner the GOP comes to Term”s with the Marxist working in this Admin. the Better for America ! YES it’s a WAR on WE the People !
Hi Eric,..
AGREE with you! However my concern is that I brought this issue up just after last April 15th success.
Then the Tea Party’s splintered, what was a Strong national effort, focused around the April 15th TaxDayTeaParty,.. this site,.. went all over the place. TTP,..Tea Party Express,.PJ TV and all the others.
You are right the Elected Leaders have looked us in the eye and said “Go to hell”! “We will do what we want and you(The people) cannot stop us”!
These fractionalized Tea Party’s need to start focusing on either
1. 2010 election and identify conservation
Consitutional candidates and support them
2. Start Recall efforts on each and ever U.S.
Congressman and Senator who is support
this “New OBAMA Marxist govert.
And do it NOW

Yep it definitely is war. We need to establish a phone call list because you know this administration will cut this site off!!! They do not do anything legally they have proven that and Obamas arrogance goes beyond normal and I think Pelosi is senile at almost 70 years old! Something is very wrong here and I still think we are missing something Just cannot figure out what???
“This machine doesn’t care about our protests. They don’t care if we march on Washington. They don’t care if we win a battle here and there. They don’t care how big our movement gets.” - Eric
That is exactly correct. Therefore, when your elected leaders DO NOT CARE what the citizens think or want, what can the people do to take back their government.
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

I want to say something to an infil”TRAITOR” who wrote something stupid on our site. “Randy Edwards”-you must be an ignorant fool to say the things you did. Do you have a job? If so, what do you do? What is your education level? Do you know ANYTHING about totalitarian regimes?? Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, (present day) Chavez, Kim jong ‘mentally-il”, Castro, etc. Have you ever read the history of how these thugs take over their countries and ruin them? Do you know they set it up for a ruling class to rule every aspect of their peoples’ lives?? Do you know that they start by controling education, the media, the businesses, the “health care”, the income of everybody??? You fool! Wake up and see what’s becoming of this country!
Eric,
You are correct. To add to your comments:
They are bringing not only criminals from all over the communism to this great country but actual communists themselves. This government is so tied up with communists’ government overseas that communists in Europe claim: how “long hands” they have to be able to reach anyone anywhere. They are exchanging their communist’s philosophy and ideas for the purpose of plundering hard working people and leaving them with nothing here in capitalism. Communists get pay for these “services” with our own tax money. Communists in Europe have great experience in confiscation of property from the hands of rich people and spreading the wealth among communist population. They so well organized in America that they come here to do the exact same: freely kidnapping children to eliminate hairs, and monitoring people’s wealth to get in hold of it. Without prosecution and Justice. Communists know about American citizen’s life style, their job, money, bank accounts, vacation, food they eat, where they live, the property their have, etc.
So, it’s time for us to bear our arms and be serious about it. Communist’s philosophy is that every thing belongs to everybody even if you have to work for it not them, and that nobody can take anything with them to the grave. Only leave everything to communists. So they come here and steal instead of rolling up their sleeves and work as hard as we do. They stalking, lying, cheating, harassing, kidnapping and serve the Washington well to keep this country in 16th Century mentality while they working on spreading communism. This communist’s ANIMAL envy and greed is unpredictable and has no boundary. But, it did cross the wrong boundary. As for me I prize the Canadian Police for bringing one down. I will do my part too.
My family and I are ready!!!!
If it talks like a duck……………etc.
There are term limits at this time: VOTE THEM OUT FOLKS! Our tea party group is getting active in the I-Caucus movement. They overcame an incumbent in Utah with 1/10th of the money and only 1000 volunteers who were dedicated to their cause. I understand that Lou Doubbs has their link on his site!
We can fight the corruption and vicious cycle of special interest money donations to the campaigns and the resulting pork money by vetting candidates prior to the PRIMARIES. We need men of character like our wonderful forefathers to stand up for liberty and truth to support the core values of limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, rule of law (Our Constitution), and national sovereignty.
If you are not already involved with a local group - START ONE. We will help you. http://www.GotTeaParty.com
We also need to get our Republic Party back on track. The tea party participants are not right wing extremists - WE ARE “MSA”: Main Street Americans!
I am happy to know there are people in this great country of ours who are committed to the preservation of all that made us the most successful country in the world. While selfish people have used the system for their own gain and while lazy people have also used the system for their own gain, others who have held to the ideals of a strong work ethic will save our country before these socialist, Marxist powerful totally revamp our country. I hope & pray - and am part of a grass roots group here in Jersey.
Thank you for all you do.
I do not think it is correct to use the term “war”. It is a political conflict, but it is not a “war”. Use of the term “war” devalues the sacrifices that many Americans have made in real wars.
Re: “Randy Edwards” disgusting reply - leave it to a far left loon to bring sex into the battle that we are in to save the country from their Socialist/Communist ideologies! What a rude, sick man he is! May God have mercy on his soul!
Eric,
You got it right this is war and we better stand up and be counted. This is the first time in my life time that a communist dictator has ever been appointed to the Top Job of being President of this great nation. I am sick and tired of the disregard for American People who do not want their government run health care. They run this mess over while the people of America stand in the streets shouting, “We
do not want it and we will not have it.” Yet they go ahead and pass it in the House anyway. It seems the Obama team is running the country and no one else matters. This is communism in the purest form. We have our first DICTATOR in the White House and color isn’t a factor, he is as much white as black since his mother was white and his father black. Who cares?
Our CONSTITUTION is what matters and we need to clean out Washington as soon as possible. I am not a REPUBLICAN or a DEMOCRAT, I am an AMERICAN with 28 years in the uniform of this country and a veteran of the Viet Nam War. That makes me as qualified to die in Washington, New York or Dunn, North Carolina as in Saigon, Viet Nam. My pledge and oath of service was to defend the “CONSTITUTION” against all enemies both foriegn and domestic and it is still valid today. Our prayer is that God will remove from office any and all who do not subscribe to this document and support our freedom. We pray every day at 10:00 AM for this to happen soon for the survival of the United States of America that it will not become a socialist republic.

Mr. Odem,
I agree with you 100% although the people who do not want to call it a war have been indoctorinated in the politically correct, which was designed to be a manipulation tool. These people are also fightened of this Government and what could possibly happen to them if they take a public stand against this tyranical government. Obviously they will investigate, harrass, and try to destroy anyone who oposses them…does Joe the plumber come to mind? So I think this is one area the organization needs to battle against. Either way, we have to persavere or lose our freedom and our country.
Eric,
I agree with you. It appears like those in Washington are oblivious to the ones who put them in office, and the one that stands out the most is Obama. His support among those who elected him have diminished and he has not taken note of that. We are all right wing extremist to him. As President, it is his job to listen to ALL the people, not just the democrats or republicans.
I have enough faith in God to know that it is HE that is in control and not Mr. Obama. There are still enough God loving people in this country that we still receive HIS blessings. Prayer is now the answer along with the TEA Parties.
We need to keep doing what we are doing at the TEA parties, and keep praying–God gave us this country–I doubt that HE will allow idiots to take it away…..
your latest e-mail about, “it’s war”, is in tune with what i believe. It is personal. It is personal for every individual, but what are we to do, collectivly? Marches are ignored, votes are ignored, reason is ignored and violence is messy, so what’s a people to do with a rogue government? (French Revolution anyone?) Please suggest something short of revolution, yet still corrective, that can work. tj
You are exactly right. We all need to get our heads out of the sand and stop waiting for someone else to take care of things. That’s how we got in to this mess.

I think you are right on the mark. The White House declared war on FOX News and the Tea Party Movement. With avowed communists in the White House and a failure of this administration to acknowledge who the terrorist enemy is that has declared war on the USA, it is plain to see that our American way of life is under assault. It is time to fight back and the election of 2010 is a decisive battle that must be won or our children and grandchildren will end up being slaves to the Government.
As I read your comments, isn’t there a class action lawsuit that can improvised once the healthcare bill is passed (hoping it isn’t) but isn’t there a channel that we as a group can file? As a citizen of the United States I have never been so scared as I am now with this present administration. His arrogance and non-caring attitude towards our troops and his dragging of his feet to send additional troops really concerns me, if he is so concerned why isn’t he concerned about those troops that are over there now, working with a short support now according to General McCrystal.
I completely agree, but if government doesn’t recognize our protests or marches, what CAN we do to win this war? Will we end up in a real shooting revolution like the very first one? Is this where we’re heading? We know they want to take away our 2nd amendment rights, along with many other rights. What do we do to fight this effectively, now that we’ve seen that our marches and tea parties have been ignored and/or called acts of terrorism!?
You are so right Eric, this is war. However, on the other hand,things have this far because we have allowed ourselves to be paralyzed by political correctness. Political correctness be damned. This is our country and not theirs’ to give away. Wake up and stand up Americans. It’s now or never!
You are absolutely correct in your assessment Eric and I support you 100%.One only has to look at our response to Islamic terrorism,or more to the point,the lack of it after 9/11,to see what the results are when you don’t accept the attack as a war.Witness Ft.Hood.There never has been a so-called “War on Terrorism”,only a tepid response to it.If we had taken it as seriously as we should have,it wouldn’t have taken 8 years and counting,including loss of life.Same here.
There is absolutely NO REASON to be politically correct in communication any more!!! To do so allows many Americans to minimize the intensity and direction of the Obama Administration. Speak succinctly and with “real” words so that the majority of Americans understand…anyone who finds the verbage troubling needs to see ALL of what is going on for what it really is! We are already going down..we must move in a direction that will get accomplish our stated results BEFORE the 2010 elections…I believe that next November will already be too late!!!!
Eric- You are correct. It is a War. You have stated it clearly and with conviction.Freedom is in our DNA. Those of us who understand America’s Greatness and how special she is.With your guidance and tenacity we will stand with you and others who see what this Admin.is trying to do. We are growing in numbers. We need to continue to make our VOICES heard.They assume we will get tired but they forget we understand the sacrifices of those who formed this Country. If they could endure the cold with out proper attire and shoes then we surely can fight with knowledge and numbers. We will make a difference.We will save our Country.We have to!
Political Correctness can go out the window. We will no longer be afraid to use our Freedom of Speech.
I agree. During the campaign none other than Pat Buchanan (who I don’t agree with on everything) said Obama [et.al.] would either be at war with the American people or at war with his base.The former is definitely true.What is the downside of viewing from the worst-case-scenario perspective? None.We protect our liberties and make government afraid of US,instead of vice versa.The downside of not viewing this as “war” and acting accordingly is that the collectivists steal our freedoms without even having to fight.If I’m going to lose my freedoms,by God and all I hold sacred,I’m going to know I did EVERYTHING I could to keep them.I will not be able to live with myself if I don’t do all in my power to keep this experiment called American Freedom and Liberty alive.I cannot fail those who have gone before us who have lived and died for the idea of Liberty,and have made this the Shining City on the Hill,the beacon of hope for the rest of the world.If America falls,another Dark Ages begins.There is no guarantee that freedom will ever happen again.
You are so right, Eric. As soon as “they” (the progressives) passed the income tax legislation in 1913 and as soon as they had our social security numbers, we were doomed. This country’s patriots had a chance years ago to stop these freaks, but it’s up to us now. Unfortunately, they have made too much “progress” in destroying the Constitution. They control the media and too many citizens’ income levels. We have a long roe to hoe, folks! We have to get our message out!
I completely agree. If we don’t counter their attack we will be sunk as a nation. Let’s roll.
Dang right this is war!! Always has been… So any of you know about Copenhagen? So any of you know of the possible threat? I am not to sure 2010 will have any impact if we don’t stop Obama on the Copenhagen mission in either Dec or Jan. Check this out and see if there is any treat or not…. It is our lives at stake here…………..
I agree. I have been reading America For sale by Jerome R. Corsi PHD and I am horrified what they have done to OUR country. TRUST is something that is earned. Americans have been busy trusting elected officials. Elected officials believe they are above us all just watching Pelosi makes me sick!. I have been watching and have been guilty in the past of not paying attention. Well the time is OVER for MY FAMILY to not pay attention. We love our country and the arrogance of these man and women in Washington that OUR OPINION does not matter is war. They have made clear statements of war “We know how you voted and we know where you live” is that is not a declaration of war on every American? If that statement is not? Than I do not know what is!
I totally agree this is a war against any and all independent thinkers, our freedom and rights. It also insults the Constitution and our Founding Fathers and the manner in which they set up our Government at the time they did. Keep up the good work.
We need to call it what it is and stop this “crappy, hypocritical” POLITICAL CORRECTNESS”.
What an amazing bunch of irrational teabagging, paranoid, fear mongering, anti-american, and totally self-serving, selfish, self-interested rubbish.
Oh well, if you readers want to buy into this and join the teabagger movement, good for you. It will only help progressive causes for your group to splinter away from reality and contributing to making America a better place (not just for you and your wealth).
If there is anything I can do to help you down this road to radical oblivion, please let me know…I will be glad to help.
I am glad someone has the courage to state it like it is. Here’s a little known fact to add, and act on. There is a bill before congress to eliminate the 22nd amendment to the constitution. If you don’t what this is, its the limitation of the presidential term of office to two four year terms or 10 years. You think there might be a plan afoot to pave the way for a socialist leaning U.S. president to go the way of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and former president Zelaya of Honduras? That is making themselves president for life by eliminating the terms of office? Eric is right, someone in Washington D.C. is waging war on the U.S. Constitution and the American people.
I believe that one of the reasons that it has taken so long for people to get behind this movement is because people have not been willing to see the truth in what is happening to us. It can’t happen here sort of mentality. I also think that the administration knew that would be the case. It allows them time to succeed in their dirty work. This is most definitely a war against freedom and liberty and the sooner we the people come to grips with that, the sooner we can take our country back.
It’s definitely time to “turn up the heat” as we approach 2010. I agree that we are at war with the deceitful bunch which has captured our government and bruised our beloved Constitution.
We must continue to attack with our words and our rallies. We must join together as allies to increase our forces and thereby our results.
Perhaps most importantly, we all have one lethal weapon at our disposal - our vote!
We are winning. Keep us aligned, aggressive and strong, Eric. History will thank us all for that.
Eric,
I agree. This is the ever present disease of political correctness and having to watch every word that comes out of our mouths to avoid offending those who are thin skinned and timid. This is WAR, not with weapons but with our right to free speech, to vote and to ensure that all politicians know that in no uncertain terms “they work for us” and the party is over.
Well said.
Mike Estrada
You are right.
Thank you for finally saying it! Anyone who doesn’t see that this new government regime has declared war on our very way of life needs to pay more attention to the freedoms they are losing everyday!
AMEN Eric - our freedoms, way of life and EVERYTHING about this country is in JEOPARDY . . War is the ONLY way to describe what is happening and bless you for calling a spade a spade!!! AND for NOT sugar coating this and doing what you are doing!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and all the GREAT OPEN AND HONEST communications and I PRAY we defeat the enemy!!! Let us know what we need to do to unite for victory!!!
Ready for battle,
Desa
I agree we are at war with government as it stands now. We need to do everything in our power to change things. This includes not paying taxes so the government will be forced to shut down. We have to stand together and fight. We need term limits and the only way we will get them is to make govermnet over. They will not vote themselves out of office.
I pray to God that “We the People” remain fixed on the target……….. of taking back our country….. and making the politicians be truly “our representatives”…… If we ourselves become political in this movement…. we will defeat ourselves… but I absolutely agree that we must respond or all will be lost.
Don
AMEN!!!!!
AMEN!!
Eric: Can you send an address where I can send a donation? I won’t use my credit card online.
Thank you,
Jan
i so agree with your statements. I am tired of people trying to make things prettier than they are by using the english language for disguise! It is a was and i am not going to sit by quietly and let them take all my rights away. I grew up in a marine corp family and my father is rolling over in his grave at all that’s going on. This is not what he fought for. We must call it what it is in order to deal with it properly. It is war and we must contiue the fight in any way that will benefit our rights and liberties.
Thank you for saying what so many are thinking but afraid to say.
