In order to stand up to the tyranny, we would necessarily lose most, if not all, of those things. What are you, crazy or something? No, DC can do what they want, and we will be good serfs. Now get busy paying "your fair share" and shut up.
Do you think America is the only Country that has those things? Maybe not to the degree we do but it is ignorant to not realize that all the countries of the world are backward.
You mean the McSheeples are more interested in Who’s winning American Idolatry and Dancing with the Perverts in between commercials for Viagra, Sleeping Pills, Beer, and Depends than they are in what “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men” means?
Yep.
“...we would necessarily lose most, if not all, of those things.”
Agreed. It needs to happen to vast numbers of people in one area—not scattered across the nation.
