Trump posted the Declaration in conjunction with this? When? Where? I don’t see it among his recent TS posts. Can you post a link to it? I’m not doubting you. I simply can’t find it on my own. I tried.
JimRob posted the Declaration here on FR. He’s a very perceptive gentleman, and saw right to the heart of Trump’s TS post on Dec. 3rd.
Trump didn’t post the Declaration.
Maybe the long train of abuses isn’t long enough yet...
Trump hasn’t done that even after being robbed, raided, railroaded,by the supposed Constitutional Republic he served, without salary, for 4 years..
I would suspect that Trump’s enemies would see Trump posting the Declaration as a sign...
I would suspect that Trump’s supporters would see Trump posting the Declaration as a sign..
And at least his enemies and supporters would know what’s next..
I don't think I am misinterpreting Jim Robinson's post, and so in that context, I am pretty sure I know how the Founders felt about this kind of thing, and felt strongly enough to put their signatures on it at the risk of a rope around their necks.
And I am not hankering to pick up a gun. Nobody in their right mind wishes for that. To quote John Adams in a description he had with Dr. Joseph Warren in the troubles leading up to the American Revolution: "...I was solicited to go to the Town Meetings and harrangue there. This I constantly refused. My Friend Dr. Warren the most frequently urged me to this: My Answer to him always was "That way madness lies." The Symptoms of our great Friend James Otis, at that time, suggested to Warren, a sufficient comment on these Words, at which he always smiled and said "it was true"..."
I had someone on another thread remark that they took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
I took that oath as well. And I take oaths seriously.
However, observing a Constitution that is wholly broken and ignored by lawless people is not strength, honor, or duty, it is weakness, even to the point of craven weakness.
It is even a more egregious and disgraceful weakness when those who abuse, degrade, and ignore the Constitution use the inherent goodness and honor of those who oppose their malignant intent to fully exploit their opponent's respect for that law as a weapon against them.
Opposing those people and fighting for the full observation of the Constitution of The United States in order to uphold it is the honorable thing to do. Failure to do so is dishonorable and the breaking of the oath.
I would like to think we all think that way. At this point, many of us disagree on how to fight against them. Eventually, we may be pushed into a corner and be forced to fight back.
A warning we must heed is that Liberty squandered and lost is far, FAR more difficult to regain than Liberty that is fought for while it is possessed. I pray we can find common ground before we squander and lose what Liberty we have left.
