Madness indeed! Didn’t we fight the Revolutionary War in large part over property rights?

“That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." - Virginia Bill Of Rights, 1776

"The Natural Rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; second, to liberty; third to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. " - Samuel Adams

"The moment that idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the Laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. Property must be sacred or liberty cannot exist” – John Adams

"Nothing is ours, which another may deprive us of." -Thomas Jefferson to Maria Cosway, 1786

We have already given away everything that was won for us by the Founders.

What King George was up to pales in comparison to what the Federal and State governments are perpetrating on the populace today.
