You speak of the Declaration of Independence, and King George, saying that Obama is another tyrant we must fight. Let's look at this for a moment:
"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..."
Is this not a "battle of ideas?" Have we not been out-spoken about our disagreements with his policies and executive over-reach and all the lies and backstabbing he has done? Have we not screamed when he murdered four of our servicemen in Benghazi, leaked information that got all of our heroic Navy Seals killed, forced us into deeper debt and indentured servitude for health insurance that doctors are now rejecting? And, of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. It seems that scandal after scandal has enveloped the Oval Office, and yet, Obama still sits high on his throne, getting stronger by the day--nay, even hour.
Further into the Declaration of Independence, we (THE PEOPLE) read:
"...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."
Governor, a rebellion is certainly needed, yes. But, not a battle of ideas. Ideas alone is not going to "alter or abolish" the present administration from the White House. And, there is certainly enough dead Republicans voting Democrat now to warrant the whole "Right to Vote" thing null and void, don't you think?
It's certainly time for a revolution.
"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."
Have we not been prudent? I submit that we are overly "prudent". I submit that we have fought with our pens and our keyboards until our fingers bleed, wrote books, tried to educate others, and even tried to fight with-in the laws by using our court systems, and our Bill of Rights, which gives us the right to peaceably assemble and say what we want to say without fear of retaliation, and to petition our government for a redress of grievances. How is that working out for ya? How is that working out for any of us?
Hint: It only works when the powers that be do not ignore us.
"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."
Bingo.
For those who do not know what it means, despotism, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means, "a system of government in which the ruler has unlimited power". With his "I can do whatever I want, I'm the president" attitude, and then his executive stroke of a pen, Obama has certainly proved that he has "unlimited power" that WE THE PEOPLE did not give him permission to use.
Yes, Mr. Governor, it is time for a revolution. But, I'm afraid we are way past the "battle of ideas" stage.
