Please, sir, can I have some of my liberty back?
Barack Hussein Obama’s entire political ideology is the antithesis of the natural law moral principles of the Declaration of Independence.
He’d better hope that too few people know how to read these days or they may get that part about the duty to overthrow oppressive government.
<< Well, with him being a progressive, the actual answer is he is projecting to his base. Go back and reread it ...not from a patriot’s viewpoint, but from the progressive viewpoint. >>
Good catch. I’d love to see the full text so it could be read in that context.
President Barack Obama is urging Americans (on the Fourth of July) to live up to the words of the Declaration of Independence.

Well, what might be the context? He’s got scandals everywhere with just about anything to topple his legacy, failed foreign policy from Benghazi, Syria, to now Egypt. 0bamacare keeps getting shoved off, immigration up in the air...only thing that could save him is for his base to live up to the Declaration(as they see it.)
Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
July 4, 2013
Hi everybody. I hope you all had a safe and happy Fourth of July, filled with parades, cookouts, fireworks and family reunions.
We celebrated at the White House with a few hundred members of the military and their families. And we took a moment amid the festivities to remember what our Independence Day is all about – what happened 237 years ago, and what it meant to the world.
On July 4th, 1776, a small band of patriots declared that we were a people created equal – free to think and worship and live as we please. It was a declaration heard around the world – that we were no longer colonists, we were Americans, and our destiny would not be determined for us; it would be determined by us.
It was a bold and tremendously brave thing to do. It was also nearly unthinkable. At that time, kings and princes and emperors ruled the world. But those patriots were certain that a better way was possible. And to achieve it – to win their freedom – they were willing to lay it all on the line. Their lives. Their fortunes. Their sacred honor.
They fought a revolution. Few would have bet on our side to win. But for the first of many times to come, America proved the doubters wrong.
And now, 237 years later, the United States – this improbable nation – is the greatest in the world. A land of liberty and opportunity. A global defender of peace and freedom. A beacon of hope to people everywhere who cherish those ideals.
Generations of Americans made our country what it is today – farmers and teachers, engineers and laborers, entrepreneurs and elected leaders – people from all walks of life, from all parts of the world, all pulling in the same direction.
And now we, the people, must make their task our own – to live up to the words of that Declaration of Independence, and secure liberty and opportunity for our own children, and for future generations.
I want to say a special word of thanks to the men and women of our military, who have played such a vital role in the story of our nation. You have defended us at home and abroad. And you have fought on our nation’s behalf to make the world a better, safer place. People in scattered corners of the world are living in peace today, free to write their own futures, because of you. We are grateful for your service and your sacrifice, especially those still serving in harm’s way and your families here at home.
So, God bless you all. And may God bless the United States of America.
And now we, the people, must make their task our own...
No, as patriots and citizens, it is our responsibility everyday. Yet he is speaking of revolution and a task and future generations. Check the comma placement too...Patriots say "we the people," not And now we, the people.
With his entire agenda falling apart...he needs a revolution by the base to overthrow not him...but the republicans, the people blocking and stopping and creating his failure.
The grievances listed against George III in the Declaration look remarkably like they could be grievances against dumBO.
This from a man who sidesteps and tramps on the Constitution!
Just cross out King George and put in Obama. Might have to use printing because his followers can’t read cursive....
I am urging obama to resign office for the sake of FREEDOM AND LIBERTY. He and his party have committed more destruction of those two things in America than all of our enemies throughout our History... COMBINED!

Obama does not identify with the Founders or their philosophical grounding. He’s a Marxist.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
If Americans really did this, Obama and Morsi would be roommates.
Except this time things will start in the burbs and rural areas, not Concord and Lexington. Im afraid the cities are Royalists
Oh baby be careful what you ask for.....
Probably not. I believe it was written in cursive
