“Does he mean the part about overthrowing tyrants?”

I was just thinking that Obama is doing quite well at modeling his conduct after the list of transgressions therein!

Really, Barry?

Tell you what: leave your body guards and goons at home and come join a few of us for beer today. We’ll show you how the original signers would have lived up to the Declaration in similar circumstances.

One example:
“He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.”

Sound familiar. He won’t enforce the laws on the books and fights states that try to enforce even Federal law.

I wish I had the time to go one by one through the list - but nearly every example provided is applicable directly or by analogy (another example - “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.” The colonies were trying to grow as a way to strengthen their hold on the land, build the economy. This president is obstructing the Laws for Naturalization in reverse, encouraging people to come who are a burden on taxpayers).

Good opportunity for someone with the time to update the Declaration with the Facts applied to the current Tyrant.

Guess he means this part ...?

“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 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.”

Oh, you thought he meant the AMERICAN Declaration of Independence.

I can see where you’d be confused. :)

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.

redundant from the great scholar and smartest person in sodom.
