Reply #35: Read the Declaration of Independence [View All]

Here's just a tidbit:

" 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. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."


I also submit that there is no time like the present. The American military is engaged all over the world, stretched to its limits, and may not have the ability to put down an insurrection here at home.
