I pulled the above paragraph from Cato’s Letter No. 33 because it is a reminder of the decrepit condition of America’s 2014 government, society, media and culture. Everything from the Obama administration is a lie, and always reinforced by a complaisant media and culture.

Unless and until the people understand the underlying truths of our nation, republic and Christianity, we are doomed to oppression, for truth and liberty are inseparable.

Cato ping!

That 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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

— Preamble, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
