Declaration of Independence

The liberal rag printed a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Interesting parts of it are as follows:

"...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 a new government..."

We the people succeeded from Great Britain because the King was not following the rules, hence our current need for the Tea Parties and fighting agains the current administration.

"HE has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people, and eat out their substance."

"HE has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:...FOR imposing taxes on us without our consent;..."

"In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may deifne a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Read the Declaration of Independence and see if you don't think this is 1776 all over again.
