Reading the list of grievances against King George made me think that many of the listed items could be applied today.

"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

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.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

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.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

What are your thoughts?

Should be fleshed out in a longer or multipart article with links to the root documents.

You’d be lucky to get articles of impeachment through the House.

There is NO WAY the Senate is going to remove him from office.

Thanks Howie. I thought of doing this myself. Tyranny is as old as civilization.

He imposed upon America the 29 1/2 Work Week, just as King George imposed a Stamp Tax upon all legal documents. Only Obama’s is worse. It decreases America directly.

‘Don’t need to convince me.

Would that last paragraph be about his insertion of himself into the Redskins controversy?

Both George Hanover and Barry Soetero are foreigners, but at least Barry speaks English, and without a Negro accent. And he hasn’t gone insane yet.*

At least Barry isn’t ghetto when he isn’t pandering to his foam people and droppin’ his `g’s—as Hitlery does when she’s in IN and other hostile AOs.

*This statement may or may not be true.

A new Declaration could be written again der Fuehrer with only a few modifications to the original.

Bill Ayer’s philosophy has won me over. It is time for we the people to take to the streets and overthrow the opressive and tyranical dictator and his minions who are attempting to rule over us.

Sounds good on paper but the AntiChrist has the backing of Satan
I think God is allowing this to happen for a greater purpose
Men don’t learn much by being taught out of books; they learn more by experience and adversity
I think God is going to let us see what the consequences of living in sin and going against his will are the hard way
I think even the liberals may learn a thing or two brote its all said and done.

Excellent analogy though all points are, predictably, not 100% on point.

I would add too that July 4, 1776 came about only after MANY YEARS of turmoil and strife in the colonies. So, arguably, we are only in the beginning stages of turmoil withour King George Barack Obama and I would argue that our 21st century revolution is growing and growing with not just Barack Obama but MORE with our Marxist/communist LEFT and it’s cheerleaders, the main stream media.

It doesn’t matter. Take action using every possible avenue; pile it on them and keep up the pressure. The GOP and conservatives need to fight the dirty fight they put up against us and dare I say it? Yes, I don’t care any more...call a spade a spade, call out the dictator, call out the party of secession, slavery, and the KKK. Call them liars in public and before the cameras and shout the reasons why they are liars, thieves, cheats. The democrat party is a party of low-lifes, mean and nasty little turds who have been stinking up this country for way too long.

Okay - get mad.

Yell.
Scream.
Demonstrate.
Go to Townhalls.

Have you noticed no one cares?

They’re laughing at us and who can blame them?

No one in a position to do so anywhere is lifting a finger to stop them or anything they’re doing.

We are completely screwed.

I have documented, but will not be sharing, examples of most of these that are being done by our government at all levels. They are blatently doing them all at the Federal Level, State level and locally!

Because of this, the totality of government abuse we suffer today is exponentially worse than that of our Founders. However, we have much more convenient life and it is resulting in a comfortable people that allows freedom lovers to be demonized!

America is on its last leg and based on the previous five years, America will not survive another three years under King Barry.

George III’s native language was English. It was his great grandfather George I who couldn’t speak English.

Sadly, if 0bama weren't black we'd not allowed our president to get away with such serious and severe high crimes including treason, sedition, abuse of power, dereliction of duty in Benghazi, etc.

Bill Clinton could NEVER have gotten away with the IRS' egregious voter suppression of Republicans, and 3 or 4 of those women over at the IRS would be sitting in federal prison right now.

This all boils down to 0bama's skin color and the fact that no one is brave enough to endure the media's counter-attack against them on his behalf.

Well...not before the midterms anyway. We'll see what's up after 2014.
