“Once Barack Hussein Obama took office, he made it shockingly clear by words and actions that he does not believe in America as an exceptional nation, a Christian nation, or a nation of economic free enterprise.”

In his book, Liberal Betrayal of America and the Tea Party Firestorm (Elderberry Press, Inc.), William Davis Eaton finds a totalitarian intent in the President’s programs, and examines the Liberal roots from which those programs have grown. 

As Eaton sees it, “After creating mountains of unsustainable debt with stimulus plans and bailouts that have not worked, and slamming through a healthcare bill that 75% of the nation did not want, this President was well on the way to totally destroying our free enterprise system.”  But few were prepared for the force of the counter-attack that was generated by these and similar events.

The Tea Party began on Income Tax Day, 2009, when people across the United States and from all walks of life came together to express their anger at seeing the American Dream dissolving into a nightmare of terrifying uncertainty.  Eaton believes “they could not understand how an administration of proclaimed Liberalism could systematically destroy fundamental American values and institutions, but it did not take them long to realize their very own government was waging war against them.”  Yet, Eaton asserts, “…by being loyal to their country and speaking their beliefs they have been labeled as extremists; they have been ridiculed, lied about and taunted – even by their own government!”

After the 2008 election, “agents of this ‘full-fledged war’ against America moved rapidly from idealistic campaign rhetoric to the consolidation of raw power – economically, politically and morally - in its push to control the daily lives of the American people.”  To the author, their aims are no different as a result of their stunning defeat in the 2010 mid-term elections.  “Only their tactics will change.  For all intents and purposes, the Democratic Party as part of the American system of democratic government has ceased to exist,” Eaton contends.

Eaton’s book describes the student riots of the sixties as having generated a Civil War designed to destroy a great American nation.  This decades-long war began on the Berkeley campus of the University of California when the Free Speech Movement (FSM) of rebellious students aimed to question authority with the intent to destroy authority. 

“They succeeded at Berkeley and the war against all authority moved on to prepare a cultural desert for the Socio-Fascist monster now taking shape to move in and occupy.”  It was this terrifying vision of an America destroyed that awakened a “sleeping giant,” and ignited the firestorm response of the Tea Party movement.

Eaton details how “This incessant Liberal assault against America has infiltrated the public school system, the mainstream media, the arts, universities, the environmental movement, organized labor, leading elements of science, and much of the judiciary and federal bureaucracy.”  It has, the author contends, “destroyed or corrupted ideals and institutions affecting religion, the family unit, the rule of law, and patriotic loyalty – not to mention persistent efforts to denigrate and even mock the value of human life.”  To accomplish this, Eaton maintains, “Massive growth of government power is promoted at the expense of individual liberty, and by attempts to suppress any form of communication that supports opposing views.”
