A friend found this posted on Facebook.  I have sensed that we are nearing a time when a majority of patriotic, liberty-loving, God-fearing Americans say, "Enough is enough."  Certainly this person is already there.  Let me know your thoughts:

Historical Parallels
What the Founding Fathers Did
What we should start doing--NOW

Then
Totally corrupt monarchy, parliament and courts
Stamp Act to suppress communication between the colonies
Oppressive taxes to drive colonies to their knees
Mandatory quartering of British soldiers in private homes
Attempts to seize guns and ammo from the colonial militias (Lexington & Concord)
Attempt to divide rebels from the loyalists

Today
Totally corrupt White House, congress and federal court system (will get worse after Obummer appoints
Holder, Clinton and Moochelle to the Supreme Court)
Efforts to control communications—internet kill switch, bankrupt USPS
Oppressive taxes (ObummerCare and other coming taxes)
FEMA camps and NDAA
Gun control drive
Racially divisive policies and legisltation

Then
Exhausted all appeals through “channels”
Found ways NOT to pay any of the oppressive taxes—flat out refused (Boston Tea Party)
Organized town and colony militias and began preparing for war (multiple skirmishes and firefights long
BEFORE the signing of the Declaration of Independence)
Hid weapons and ammo to avoid seizure by British troops
Fought to protect weapons and ammo whenever British tried to seize them (Lexington & Concord)
Resisted colony by colony before finally organizing as a unified United States

Now
We’ve already exhausted appeals through “channels”

An article at American Thinker expressed a similar sentiment:

What would Thomas Jefferson Think?

CW II is coming.

Please consider the guillotine for the current DC crooks after we win.

THEN

The population was overwhelmingly Biblical Christian, homogenous, God fearing, and completely independent from any centralized government for their daily sustenance

TODAY

The population is overwhelmingly post-Christian, fractured into "Groups" and tribes, immoral, and over 50% of households demand "their check" from the central Government - every Tom (Social Security), Darnell (EBT), Harriet (Medicare), and Shakisha (TANF)

Then: We had no representation in the House of Commons. The King was hereditary.

Now: We have full representation in both houses of Congress. The President is popularly derived.

If we rebel, it will be against ourselves.

What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own blog?

That is actually a negative for today’s government. Unlike the British who put all their resources into the war effort, today’s government will have to keep feeding and housing millions of people. It will hamper their war efforts as their big cities get out of control. And then you add trillions of dollars of debt and no liquid assets. The government knows how precarious their position is right now. That is why all bullets have been ordered, that is why drones are flying our skies and that is why their targeted raids are starting.

Whether we have true representation is questionable at best...

[Jacquerie]

Hmm. Just curious. What is “true representation?”
