The Declaration of Independance

If the founding fathers were alive today they would apply the same standard to the Obama administration as they would King George. The Boston Tea Party was a protest against a 4 percent tax on tea. How do you think they would have reacted to a 39.5 percent tax?

Have you read the Declaration of Independence? Read it in the context of what is happening to our Nation today and see if it still fits. I have provided an excerpt below.

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. — 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.

Buchanan Says It’s Pitchfork Time

What would happen if millions of Americans showed up in Washington DC armed with pitchforks? You know the answer. Mass imprisonment. Gitmo would stay open for years.

On the other hand how much longer can the country stand by while the Obama administration and the Democrats deliberately destroy the United States economy? Are we willing to accept economic imprisonment? That’s what we are getting.

When do the actions of Obama and company meet the definition of a conspiracy? It sure looks to me that they are out to destroy the United States and everything we stand for.

From Pat Buchanan - Pitchfork Time

In his campaign and inaugural address, Barack Obama cast himself as a moderate man seeking common ground with conservatives.

Yet, his budget calls for the radical restructuring of the U.S. economy, a sweeping redistribution of power and wealth to government and Democratic constituencies. It is a declaration of war on the Right.

The real Obama has stood up, and lived up to his ranking as the most left-wing member of the United States Senate.

Markets are not infallible. But the stock market has long been a “lead indicator” of where the economy will be six months from now. What are the markets, the collective decisions of millions of investors, saying?

Having fallen every month since Obama’s election, with January and February the worst two months in history, they are telling us the stimulus package will not work, that Tim Geithner is clueless about how to save the banks, that the Obama budget portends disaster for the republic.

The president says he is gearing up for a fight on his budget.

Good. Let’s give him one.

From a read of the comments in Pat’s article I think a sleeping giant may be stirring.
