"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary..."

The Pennsylvania Packet ^ | 4 July, 1776 | Hancock,Adams,Paine et al

[SE Mom]

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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..."

I missed that party by a few years... But I will be spending every free moment honing my skills. Time for talking just ended. I prefer to die standing on my feet.

It was many a year before the gunfire began in earnest with the troops sent by King George.

Our Congress SHOULD feel safe from violence from the citizens.

It is not time, nor I pray will it EVER be time for the gunfire to start in the way I read what you posted.

Breathe.

I agree, but if a lot of Minnesota-Frankenfraud results start to happen, we may be going into uncharted waters. Becasuse then we will truly be like the recent `elections` in Venezuela.

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” ~ John Locke

It is time for civil disobedience. I propose that anybody with a gun shoot off three rounds, safely of course, (this time) at the time the bill passes (if it dose). If you don’t have a gun, lay on your car horn for a full two minutes... this to let the world know that civil unrest has begun in the US against a tyrant government and president. I may get kicked off this web site for proposing such a thing, so pass this idea around and if you never hear from me again here you will at other places more friendly disposed to revolutionary expression... RAGE AGAINST THE OBAMA MACHINE~ I_AM_REVOLUTION

Voting against the will of the people is a bad idea. It's become a habit for this Congress.

This will not end well.

Hear ya brother.

Never thought of that kind of mess would be here.

Still praying for the best.

Stay safe

[devistate one four]

I pray also, multiple times a day.

When I die, I will be a free man, that’s all I have to say on this matter.

Thank your son for his service.

Semper Fi!

“Stand your ground; don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

In the pre-dawn hours of April 19, 1775, a large intimidating contingent of British soldiers advanced upon the village green of Lexington, Massachusetts. Their mission: to seize and destroy military supplies held by the colonial militia in nearby Concord.

What they did not suspect, however, was the accuracy of intelligence that had been gathered by the unassuming patriots, a small group of whom were waiting in a local pub for news of their arrival. Various accounts of what exactly transpired at dawn may differ, but nearly every American remembers the meaning of the “shot heard ’round the world” and the ensuing Battles of Lexington and Concord that led to the Revolutionary War and the founding of a new society, a new people, and a new government free from tyranny.
One memorable quote has been inscribed on a stone marker in the Lexington Common, attributed to Captain John Parker, leader of those 77 Lexington minutemen:
“Stand your ground; don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

The Founders are calling us to action, WHAT SAY YOU?!
GOD SAVE OUR AMERICAN STATES!

I wanna tell you straight up. I was not in the military. But is was there and am NOT free to say what I did.

That is about it. You know what I am talking about if your at all familiar with such things, which I think you are.

Lots of nightmares.

[Amityschild]

Is this gonna be another 8 thousand post thread? Of course, I don’t know how many posts are on the birth certificate thread now....

[crz]

Think I’ll go out and buy an 06. This mini 14 is alright for close in but..

[Amityschild]

and...THANK YOU for posting this. Lord help us all. God Bless the USA.

[Cboldt]

-- I read it out loud, it came to life and reminded me why we cherish this extraordinary and exceptional country. --

The principle at founding was radical. It turned the entirety of human history upside down. Man is his own boss! Responsible for his own welfare, answerable for damages he causes, and entitled to the wealth of his own production.

Government must serve those principles. Government is not enabled to equalize, it is enabled to enforce every man as his own boss, and to contract every man to common defense against those who would subjugate any responsible individual.

The power of those facts gives me goosebumps.

The power and dishonesty of the government piss me off.

I know, I know, but I just can’t get past the hookers and the foot fetish

[SE Mom]

Don’t misunderstand me- I am furious. I am worried. I am prepared.

I’m more inclined to go Galt than go colt- but I’m prepared one way or another.

[Amityschild]

Tom Coburn is doing that too. God Bless him...he's my Senator and I've voted for him as Senator and Rep. The only politician I can recall that self term limited choosing to run for another office.

Character. What a rare commodity in Washington.

[Amityschild]

You know...I’m listening to music now INSTEAD of that FOX news (which I tend to have on all the time). What is up with them anyway? But, what I mean to say is that I and perhaps more of us need to seek God, remain informed, yes...but change in little ways that really add up to a difference.

I don’t know what that means...but perhaps someone does.
