WASHINGTON — Former Reagan Justice Department lawyer Larry Klayman hopes the 19th of November will rank with the 4th of July, someday.
He called the day the beginning of “The Second American Revolution.”
Klayman organized a rally Tuesday at Lafayette Park, across from the White House, by the “The Reclaim America Now” coalition.
That coalition is composed of about three-dozen conservative groups, including 2 Million Bikers to D.C., Jihad Watch, Freedom Watch, Gun Owners of America, Accuracy in Media, Tea Party Patriots and the Western Center for Journalism.
About 200 hardy patriots concerned about the direction of the country gathered on a sunny but chilly day to hear speakers call for two goals: The renewal of America and the resignation of President Obama.
Klayman accused Obama of establishing tyranny in America, declaring, “We the People have had enough of the corrupt and incompetent ways of the Obama administration and its bipartisan political enablers. It is time for action, not words.”
But, the attorney suggested the remedy is in the hands of ordinary Americans.
“In the style of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and others who have changed history and reclaimed freedom, Americans have no choice – as the three branches of government have completely abdicated their representation of citizens’ complaints. The government needs to fear that the people will rise up if things do not change in Washington, D.C.,” he declared.
‘Doorstep of tyranny’
Standing nearly in front of the White House, former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., warned, “We are on the doorstep of tyranny, and that is not an overstatement.”
Likening it to a scared duty, the senator explained, “It is our goal to roll back this incipient tyranny and re-establish freedom for generations to come.”
He claimed the present administration had constructed “an unparalleled security state” with more power at its disposal than the “SS, Stasi and KGB combined” and that the IRS had been turned into “a tool to harass” those who disagree with the government.
“We want accountability, Mr. President, and, by God, sooner or later, we are going to get it,” he thundered.
Crowd favorite
The speaker whose one-liners drew the biggest roars was clearly retired Adm. James Lyons, who brought down the house with his bluntly worded, but razor-sharp, assessments of the world today.
With a candor the crowd appeared to find refreshing, Lyons described exactly why he believes “the rules of engagement are crazy” in Afghanistan.
The admiral noted how U.S. military personnel cannot stop an Afghan man from sodomizing a five-year-old boy or from beating his wife, because of “our need to be sufficiently sensitive to their 7th century values.”
His explanation for the downing of the helicopter in Afghanistan during the Extortion 17 mission that killed 30 Americans on Aug. 6, 2011, including members of SEAL Team VI?
“Treason!” roared Lyons – and the crowd roared back.
He called the poor preparation and unwise judgement in executing the mission “a dereliction of duty, the same as Benghazi.”
Nixon, he said, lied “only about a bungled burglary.” But who, he demanded to know, “gave the order to stand down in Benghazi,” costing the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012?
As for the Obama administration’s strong desire to strike a deal with Iran over it’s nuclear ambitions, Lyons said “it makes no sense” to negotiate with the Islamic republic because of “taqiyya,” the Islamic code that gives Muslims permission to lie if it suits religious purposes.
Obama is not the problem?
Joseph Farah, WND editor and CEO, also addressed the crowd. He began by saying he’d been wondering where all the Americans have been during this time of “growing tyranny we are seeing in America today.”
In the following video of his speech, Farah explains why he believes Obama is not the problem, but merely the symptom of a much deeper problem – and why, when Obama is gone, America will not be automatically cured of what ails the nation:
