Remember these: Protection against cruel and unusual punishment, Right to a speedy trial, Safeguards against illegal search and seizure, Right to Privacy, Right to bear arms?
NONE of them existed under the King and every one of these INALIENABLE rights is under attack from within our own, increasingly centrist, government.
Just how much more constitutional shredding is the Orwellian perpetual war on terror going to be used to justify?
Our government is sliding towards what we declared independence from over 200 years ago and those within that government need to STOP and remember what the PURPOSE of government is - and that is TO PRESERVE THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THE GOVERNED. PERIOD.
Got Tyranny?
(btw...loved your "global warming happening again" chart on your home page...took the liberty of sending it to my boss...who tends to listen to the MSM and is in desperate need of enlightenment!)
“Our government is sliding towards what we declared independence from over 200 years ago and those within that government need to STOP and remember what the PURPOSE of government is - and that is TO PRESERVE THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THE GOVERNED. PERIOD.”
A frightening thought occurs. Perhaps if this “slide towards tyranny” is going on, and seems to be going on all the time, and all over the world, then it implies that those rights are not “inalienable” but preserved solely by the will of the free. Perhaps the US republic is a blip on an otherwise pretty bleak picture of how Humanity usually rules itself.
Not a comfortable thought to go to sleep on.
Yeah, like the British monarchy hasn’t changed its spots in 200 years.
Even aside from that point, it’s not like we were fighting Stalinists.
And even aside from those points, even if there is still something sinister in the British monarchy (which there isn’t), what conceivable danger does it, or American respect for the British monarch, actually pose to us?
In short: What are you smoking?
