A Constitutional Republic. A nation of laws. A nation in which all men are created equal, endowed with the self-evident, unalienable right to freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. A nation founded by men weary of tyrannical oppression by a distant king.
The men sequestered in the stifling rooms of the Pennsylvania State House knew what was at stake in their endeavor. The birth of a new nation free from tyranny, or more oppression from King George. They knew the only direction to this end would lead them to war with the most powerful army on earth. These men, all of them, had much to lose. They were the elite, the merchants, the shipping magnates, the farmers and land owners. They could continue with life as before, a life of comparative luxury to their working class compatriots. Instead they chose to risk their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to follow the only course they could. A new nation, and war.
These men set about declaring their independence from England. They began to draft one of the greatest documents ever written by any government. Our own Declaration of Independence. The document defines the concept of a free and independent people and provides a long laundry list of grievances under King George's rule.
What these few men did is not trivial. It should not be taken lightly nor should it be forgotten. Nor should we forget the sacrifices of the soldiers, the wives and the average citizens who all came together under one cause. Freedom.
Four years after the war the government set about the task of deciding on what form this new government would take. The United States Constitution was created to that end. This document is unique in all of history. For the first time a government had been created of the people, by the people, and for the people. The document defined the purpose and limitations of our federal government. The individual state and citizen were to have rights beyond that of the federal government, this was a new concept. Today, the U.S. Constitution is still the template for freedom when any peoples wish to declare their independence from a tyrannical government.
So, why the brief history lesson? To emphasize just how far we have fallen in the last 230 years, and to express just how precious this thing is that they created. Unique in all of human history.
I am not going to continue with the typical party bashing. I am not going to disparage our president. What people need to understand is the problems we face today have nothing to do with political party affiliation or the current administration. Every party and administration that has existed from the time of the ratification of the Constitution up to this day have slowly destroyed it. Deliberate or not. People need to get off their party band wagons and hop on the Constitution band wagon. Some years, and some administrations are worse than others. Our enemy is a progressive socialist government and all the players are infected to some degree.
The following is the list of grievances delivered to King George in the form of our Declaration of Independence. I won't list all of them, but I will list most of them, the ones that have bearing on the state of our country today. I will also comment when appropriate to compare then and now. Substitute the “He” with “The progressive socialist government”
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The progressive socialist government passed the Health Care reform bill knowing full well 2/3's of the country opposed it.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
The progressive socialist government frequently met during late hours, holidays and weekends with the intent to limit opposition to their bills. Opposition to the legislation were frequently threatened and coerced in order to return favorable votes.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
The progressive socialist government repeatedly appoints judges which conform to their social agenda without regard to the Constitution
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance
The progressive socialist government has created new positions for every conceavable social program and sent them out to do their biding all the while causing racial and political tension throughout the country.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
The progressive socialist government created the North Command in direct violation of Posse Comitatus. The purpose of the North Command is to oversee military operations within our own border.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
The progressive socialist government is now in league with the United Nations drafting various legislation to conform to the view of “World Court”. Chiefly among these is the attempt by the UN to compel countries to adopt their position on the trafficking of small arms in direct violation of our Second Amendment. Also, the UN push to establish international rights of the child which will usurp the rights of the parent.
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
Not sure of this one. I'm not betting against it having happened during Katrina, however...
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
The progressive socialist government continually protect and shield federal law enforcement officers who murder, manufacture evidence, steal from, rape, and falsely imprison our citizens.
The progressive socialist government frequently employ unsigned warrants, no knock warrants, taser and trigger happy law enforcement officers who leave behind a wake of dead, innocent victims.
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
The progressive socialist government has created, through legislation, a trade environment that is more beneficial to foreign companies than our own. The taxation and regulation of our own companies has driven them, along with the jobs, to overseas location.
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
The progressive socialist government has no regard for Habeus Corpus and has frequently imprisoned people without charges or convictions for long periods of time.
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
The progressive socialist government has exercised Extraordinary/Irregular Rendition and Torture by Proxy in order to transport SUSPECTED terrorists to other countries where they may be tortured or questioned with impunity
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
The progressive socialist government repeatedly ignores our own Constitution in order to further their agenda
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
The progressive socialist government has recently tallied votes from the representatives of U.S. Territories in order to gain majority for legislation to reissue a moratorium on Gulf of Mexico oil drilling. Those representatives votes are not to be counted for the purpose of legislation.
The progressive socialist government frequently marginalizes and condemns opposing groups. Frequently incites racial tension, especially with Mexican illegal immigrants, Muslims and African Americans.
The progressive socialist government knowingly tallies the votes of the deceased people, incarcerated criminals, and illegal aliens in order to win election. While at the same time disregard the votes of our military forces fighting for this country overseas, knowing full well those votes would weigh heavy for the opposition
When a state attempts to exercise their 10th Amendment rights to disallow federal legislature to become law in that state The progressive socialist government will file law suits against them, and threaten to withhold funding for education and transportation.
When citizens attempt to exercise their 1st Amendment right they are met with “Free Speech Zones” which effectively designate everywhere else a “No Free Speech Zone”. Thousands of Blogs are removed from web servers by “Government Agencies”. Attempts are made to silence bloggers within periods of political campaigns under the guise of Campaign Reform.
The progressive socialist government vote for the bail out of companies from whom they receive direct monetary benefit to do so. Corporations protected from bankruptcy when they are known to have violated trade laws and practice predatory lending programs
The progressive socialist government passing health care reform, which will cost over a trillion dollars, when the interest on our debt alone is just shy of our GDP. The progressive socialist government has no fiscal responsibility and refuses to cut spending which will inevitably cause the next Great Depression
The progressive socialist government, they hold your freedom in their hands. No matter how much you protest, no matter how much you rale against their machinations, shake your fist in their face, they will not restore one iota of your freedom. It is not in their interest. They will look you in the eye with evil intent and grasp one more small bit. This is a game of tug-o-war. Freedom is the rope that holds you from the abyss of communism. Your feet are starting to push the pebbles over the edge. They will not relent. You have to grasp that freedom and pull it from their clutches, because if you don't, you will surely plummet off the edge and there is no one to grasp your flailing hand.
The end is near. Do, or do not. The choice is yours.
