It is our RIGHT, OUR DUTY TO THROW OFF DESPOTIC Government and provide for our future Security!
Declaration of Independence ^ | July 4th, 1776 | Thomas Jefferson

Posted on 02/23/2009 5:19:57 PM PST by Jim Robinson

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

In the Declaration of Independence the founders were referring to a foreign government.

No, they were ALL British subjects and many had served in the British Army or been members of British colonial governments.

I fly mine more often than the US flag. I picked up a US civilian flag awhile back and I fly that one often too.

Thanks for the post Jim. I recently renewed my Notary Public commission here in CA. Part of the procedure is to swear an oath to..."solenmly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States...." I take this oath very seriously. I am liking the idea of a TEA PARTY.

Not so foreign, just step children. We’re already considered by our public servants, er, RULERS as just so much dirt, cowardly dirt to be trampled on at will.

Yeah, right up until the first politician gets shot and the postings on this board will turn to condemnation of the shooter with the spattering of posting removed by Admin Moderator.

Lots of bark around here, very little bite.

Sadly Jim, Americans don't care about freedom and liberty any longer. America has turned a dark page in its history. America has passed it time. Americans have evolved into a nanny nation that wants it for free. True, liberty seeking, Americans are fewer and fewer. We are out numbered by those from the dumbed down school systems, the never gave a rats ass, the lazies, the I don't cares, and now the millions of illegals. Good, hard working Americans are getting out numbered daily. Socialism, Marxism, Communism, whatever you want to call it, is a cancer that destroyed the Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea. It will now destroy us, sad to say. Communist China has survived because it went to a capitalistic money making system instead of the commie socialism. What we have are the 1960s radicals now in charge and determined to destroy America now. Plus, I believe Obama is using all this as a back door Slave Reparations gadget. Give it too them this way since nobody would stand for a free giveaway in the name of Slave Reparations.

Obama is seeking to cut the national debt by culling out the costly baby boomers. By denying us medical care for serious illnesses, we will die off at a faster pace, and they will not have to pay out socialized security and medicare for us. This disguise of health care is nothing more than culling the herd.

“In the Declaration of Independence the founders were referring to a foreign government....”
I view it as our government has been overthrown by a foreign invader thus making it the same situation our forefathers faced. Our form of government was based on God-fearing men that would do the right thing....NOT the den of thieves we have in DC today.
I, too, agree that we are on the very edge of an all-out insurrection. All it is going to take is the right spark. Maybe HR45? Or perhaps some other marxist move...whatever it is, God help us all.

The time is night for someone(s) to do something. Certain milestones are about to be reached: The Dow hitting 7000 (probably tomorrow), then 6000, (couple of weeks?) then 5000 (let's say a month or so after that?).

Also Tax Day on April 15th.

LS suggested a "Drive your beater car to Washington and then leave it there" protest. I actually think thing something like this would be helpful.

Something like this needs to happen on April 15th or some other significant day.

A peaceable solution to this communist Kenyan coup has got to be found, although I daresay I wouldn't mind seeing Soros have an accident. (Not that he has anything to do with the communist Kenyan coup, mind you.)

Question: The Supreme Court has all the goods, of course, as have the CIA and FBI (IMO). Will they sit on them while the economy crashes to "whatever", and the Chinese get into position to buy us out a dime on the dollar, or will they all of a sudden decide that one of the cases pending is worth hearing and ruling that -1 was ineligible in the first place?

THEN what happens?

With exception of quartering troops, George III and Parliament treated the American colonists FAR BETTER than Zero and Congress treat us.

You got that right, Jim.

Every weekday morning, when the stock markets are open, at about 10 am EST, Obama opens his mouth and causes a sell off. His policies are dismally wrongheaded and his message doesn't inspire 'hope'.....but it sure creates 'change' in a downward spiral.

Sadly, I think you are on to something here. Daschle said (paraphrasing) “ Seniors should expect the problems that come with aging and not try to find a medical solution”

Multiculturalism without a unifying education of the populace leaves modern day America an easily manipulative society. We truly are the minority fellow patriots but we raise the standard against the enemy within. The Word of God and the Constitution are the foundation we stand on!

That time is soon upon us. I have never shunned my duty!

It scares me to think we may get desperate enough to try to enforce these principles. It scares me even more that this pack of politicos in DC now seems to be willing to ferment enough social unrest to justify declaring martial law, suspending elections, disarming the population, and rewriting the Constitution to suit their vision of government.

An example of a possible preparation for this follows.

The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.
