Perhaps It Is Time For Americans To Revisit THIS G*dammn Piece Of Paper
Since we do not appear to have a Government, A Congress, Or Any Entity that is willing to stand up and fight for the will of the people, and in light of “National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51” and “Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20,” Perhaps it is time for Americans to wake up and revisit their humble beginnings.

In case you forgot, humbly submitted for your approval:

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 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 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. 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. 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.


Had enough yet, America?

1. You'd better be careful. Such subversive documents are clearly
illegal under the "Patriot" act.

Next stop: Guantanamo.

2. Where's our "V"?
Edited on Tue May-22-07 10:35 PM by marmar
"And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror."

4. The Commander Guy is trying to amend the Constitution by Presidential Directive
National Security Presidential Directive 51 includes provisions for "the commander guy" to appoint replacement members of Congress in the event of an emergency in which some members are killed. Shrub is out of control.
