Nobody elected King George.
Obama was elected and he gets 4 years to try to push through anything he wants.
We get a chance to elect some people in a year and a half that will say “NO”.

Keep in mind that what our founding fathers did was treason until they won. They had been quite willing to live as subjects of the King. All they wanted was to be heard and to have a voice. When they couldn’t even have that small gift that was given to the subjects who lived in Britian they couldn’t tolerate it and decided it was better to die than to live like that. They knew it was treason which is why Ben Franklin said that we had better hang together or we will all hang seperately.

You have the power to associate with like minded souls and when the government won’t listen you can remove them without committing treason. That is the greatest gift that any person could ever leave his ancestors and I will not besmirch them by comparing our lot with theirs.

Just because I can still vote in a national election, I should be quiet while my country slips away? I live 10 miles from Patrick Henry’s house, I would guess that he would think that today’s problems are much worse than his contemporary. The King was only exacting small percentage for taxation, now the socialists want to tax at 90%? Tyranny is tyranny whether by a socialist mob or monarch. Your little self righteous rant, though well written, needs more thought.

The rate of taxation back then was miniscule compared to what we have now, yet our founding fathers were willing to commit treason over it. We are watching our country being destroyed - from confiscatory taxation, increasing regulations suffocating businesses, unions having a stranglehold over private companies, goverment agencies forced to spend billions to communicate in a language that isn't even our own because the government refuses to enforce existing laws....I think we are much less represented than our forefathers were. And as far as elections go, when one side controls the media, the polls, the schools, and is willing to cheat to win - how is that a 'free' election?

You can sit by and watch your country being destroyed. That's your choice. But don't make that choice for the rest of us.

Only one thing I can add to this statment... AMEN!!!!
