I just thought I'd remind you:

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds 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 to 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 shown 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... (emphasis mine).

5. I hear you! nt

[rateyes]

3. The Declaration of Independence says we don't go into

a revolution LIGHTLY...but, when the abuses and usurpations become so great that there is no other alternative...

I'm just asking this: Are we there yet?

[dbonds]

6. Very close to there.

[rateyes]

I wonder what it will take to put us over the line. nt

people willing to fight for the real America (who currently cannot stand up).

10. Another Bush* attack on domestic soil, election suspension and martial law will wake the rest up.

* et al.

I hope I am wrong.

7. More likely a 7 Days In May scenario, but our troops can VOTE in a new Pres

since they're the ones on the receiving end of this failed policy on Iraq. From what I've heard the military is 66% Repubican and 33% Democratic. That most certainly is changing before our very eyes.

4. 2 thumbs up.
