From The Declaration of Independence

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.

(Excerpt)

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

Do any of these points remind you of our president's actions today?

I know I can't help focusing on this one: "He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures."

Anyone thinking about last Saturday morning's beckoning?

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance”

Does the term CZAR seem significant here?

Good match ... Another is Caligula.

Of course they do.

What is telling is every time some narcissistic nut-job dictator manages to rise up from the scum they think they are the first ones to think up such ignorant and shallow "strategy" because they are firmly convinced they are "smart."

And now there is little bammy...

“Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you not just on immigration reform.”

Yeah, we heard ya too slick.

King George III was a student of chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics, French, Latin, history, music, geography, commerce, agriculture and constitutional law. ("OK, but one out of twelve isn't that bad")

He was also born, raised, and educated in the country he ruled. And he could read and write Austrian.
