And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

I feel like the only true way for the country, The Republic and The Constitution to be put back in it’s rightful place, is to have the current government tossed out on their asses, using whatever force necessary. But that’s just my opinion. ;)

That document is always new, isn’t it?

I’ve often wondered who the soldiers of the opposition are. They aren’t the soldiers who man the companies and battalions of this nation. Those are our sons and daughters.

The soldiers of the enemy are producers, directors, lobbyists, professors, politicians, billionaires, and operatives.

Whenever anyone talks about “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” I like to continue the quote with the line “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed” and the line “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”

The looks on their faces tells me everything I need to know about what they believe this document meant in 1776 and what it means today.

I’d bet that outside of FR and maybe a few other forums, not one in a hundred comprehend what just passed between our two posts.

Sadly, far too many who have given themselves over to the public dole as well.

Or, they are the atheists, abortion enthusiasts, condom-throwers, pinky-ringed union thugs, welfare grandmothers, Boy Scout hating lesbians, hand-wringing college professors, and the rest of the parasites, losers, and goofballs who comprise the Democrat party "base".

Always a great read.

I like to see the signers' names posted with their state abbreviation listed by their names.
