Now, DUers, friends and allies, we go onto the second part, where we detail King George's train of abuses and usurpations!
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.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has...
==========================================================
To it, DUers! Unsheath your quills for Part 2!

...refused to obey the laws of the land, preferring instead to rely on Imperial Fiat and the Divine Right of Kings.
...intimidated and bullied the Formerly Free Press, disingenuously through operatives who speak directly for him yet deny any connection.
...dismantled the FCC Regulation the WWII Generation wrote to discouraged the Rise of an Alternate Nazi or Soviet-type Totalitarian Media, beholden to no facts nor truth but one duty, Loyalty to the King above Loyalty to the Country.
...encouraged his operatives to thusly form their own Totalitarian Media, beholden to no facts nor truth but one duty, Loyalty to the King above Loyalty to the Country.
...dissembled away the Constitutional Wall between Chruch and State. When the Imperial Congress refused it's assent, he merely asserted the Divine Right of Kings and issued an UnConstitutional Imperial Fiat making it so.
...lied us into an unprovoked invasion of a country which posed no direct threat, then had his Kingly Lawyers write Unconstitutional Dicuments, attempting to "legally" confirm that the King was above the Laws of the Land.
...has colluded with his Corporate Allies, prior to provoking an unjust war, that he may hand out Public Largesse to them without allowing for competeition in violation of the Laws of the Land
...Has nullified 8 of 10 of the Amendments to the original Bill of Rights, cunningly pretending they still exist while all the time they have lost all power and force to compel any action or restraint of action from the Imperial Gouvernment.
(let me think, there's more!)

4. It is lamentable, but it makes sense... |
|
Nobody worries what others will think about their posts in a flame war, but your project requires thought and some literary talent, and seems like too much work to someone just looking to blow off steam.
How about this:
...misrepresented our Republic to the nations of the world as a selfish, warmongering plutocracy, forever harming our relations with our allies and strengthening our enemies against us.
