King George III was the King of Great Britain during the time of the American Revolutionary War. The tyrannies that King George III perpetrated over the American colonies are what ultimately led to The Declaration of Independence, the American Revolutionary War, and the formation of The United States of America. In The Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson listed the tyrannies exercised by King George III over the American colonies. We are now faced with an administration whose actions are very similar to those tyrannies listed by Thomas Jefferson. I have made up a list of the similarities between the actions of the Obama administration and the tyrannies listed in The Declaration of Independence (Each listed item starts with a quote from The Declaration of Independence followed by the similarities in the Obama administration):

• "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." -The Declaration of Independence

  Obama is similar to King George III in this regard because he has attempted on a number of occasions to implement social welfare programs for "the good of the people." I know, I know, I must sound crazy. Why is it a bad thing that Obama is implementing welfare programs? Well, there are numerous reasons. First and foremost is that any social welfare program provided by the federal government comes at a cost to the people, and that cost is individual liberty. It is imperative that the people understand that when the government implements such programs we lose more money and more freedom. So, if you look at the bigger picture it is easy to see that Obama is not implementing these programs from the compassion of his bleeding liberal heart. He pushes these social welfare programs to keep the people dependent upon the government. His purpose in implementing such programs is to grow the power and influence of the government over the people. Obama has also attempted to impose unwarranted regulations on the people, such as cap-and-trade, which would inevitably raise our taxes and subject us to more excessive government authority.

In defense of George III - he raised taxes to defend sovereign territory, he was not a community organizer, did not have a cell phone and did not use Acorn to corrupt elections.

A major difference we can’t overlook...
The British know where King George was born.

Yep...the last ‘taxation without representation Messiah’ was King George, and look where that got him!

The British government wanted the Colonies to pay for the French and Indian War. That did not go over well. The Prime Minister should have been the target of Colonial ire, but he was like someone’s grandfather and the King got tagged with the role of villian.

And both were (are) British citizens.
