Words to remember, words to consider now...

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

More below the stinking fold...

I am done. It is finished. It is over. I quit.

I have been told my desire to see my country defended is a fool's errand. That our war is LONG lost, was criminal in its origins, and holds no value for securing the safety and future security of my children and grandchildren, and further, that it actually endangers them to stand up against enemies who would see us dead or converted to a religion of intolerance and one that holds suicide as a means of eternal greatness.

I have been told being left alone to live my life with as little Governmental intrusion as possible was my right until the Government deemed it necessary to intrude just the same; from marriage being redefined to satisfy a constituency to citizenship being redefined to satisfy a constituency to allowing unborn babies to be killed to satisfy a constituency to allowing criminals who have come here to profit from my generosity be called "Americans" to satisfy a constituency to giving more of my hard-earned money to "Americans" who are deemed more in need than I to satisfy a constituency to being told I am allowed to defend myself with a gun that I am not allowed to have to satisfy a constituency.

I have been led to believe that my Commander in Chief is a criminal. I have been told that my Congress knows best what needs doing in my life. I have been expected to get on with my life and let them decide what is the best use of my money with no questions asked because they know far better than I the implications of my role in the greater community called "America."

Let us review what our Founders promised us, and which of these promises have since been broken, so we can better determine what the (expletive removed in deference to the posting guidelines) we need to DO about it now.

First this:

all men are created equal

Can you say Affirmative action? Check.

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Am I entitled to life? Roe v. Wade says no. Check.

Am I endowed with the right of Liberty? Can you say "Merry Christmas" in a Public School or Public venue? I thought not.

To pursuit of happiness, can you say "eminent domain?" "Death tax?" "Marriage penalty?"

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

I didn't consent to this. Did you? Were you asked about allowing 30 million illegal immigrants to be magically no longer illegal? I wasn't. Were you asked permission to levy taxes on a specific class of Americans because they had it to steal from moreso than other classes of Americans? I wasn't.

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.

I'm game, and if you want to call me an "American" heretic, bring it...if I could call my property an independent nation in the world and get away with it, after the (expletive removed in deference to the posting guidelines) insanity that has BECOME AMERICAN POLITICS I would gladly do so.

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

How much do you expect I am going to take before I will TAKE NO MORE? Why, in light of the fact that those who would kill me are NOT Americans, would I want to let them stay and call them Americans?

What the (expletive removed in deference to the posting guidelines) are our Political losers DOING to us?

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

I am ready. Throwing tea in the Boston harbor these days will get you arrested and feed the mutant fish. That's not to say there is no way to stand up against the tyranny that has BECOME the United States Government. I stand up today, and I stand against it. And I refuse to accept any further intrusion and intervention and interruptions in my attempts to live by the same creed of my forefathers, whose descendants now throw off with frivolity and impunity, my rights and the recognition that they were to serve at MY pleasure. They throw it in my face as if I were some rube that doesn't recognize I am being taken...to the bank,and to the cleaners, and I have had all I am going to take.

Attention IRS-you get no more money in April. Come find me. It's too late to get you out of my paycheck, but watch what I do to you each April...

Attention political parties. The party is over...you get no money from me, and you are all open game.

Attention America, you are being had and you are losing your heritage, your history, your past, and a future you are already being deprived of.

Attention Politicians. I will do everything in my power to get you fired...can you say term limits and recall?

Attention US Government. You will be forced to give me back my country, or arrest me before I go too far.
