When our government votes against the wishes of the majority, they have met the textbook definition of tyranny. They only retain their ability to govern through the consent of the people. They are the ones who have wilfully taken actions to have their consent to govern revoked. By their actions they have made the current government of the United States illegitimate. All revolutions start with a singular point, and this is it.
According to the Declaration of Independence we have a right, as well as an obligation to abolish our government when it becomes destructive. We have the right, and duty, to overthrow the government when a “long train of abuses and usurpations” occurs. I could go on endlessly, listing these abuses, and usurpations, but it is not necessary at this point.
Proverbially, as far as I am concerned, this is the straw that broke the camel’s back. This is my Declaration of Independence, and woe to they whom have crossed the line from governance to monarchy. We are no longer citizens, but subjects, and as such, I demand the current “government’s” surrender and to vacate the seat of our government, or I will consider them to be occupiers, and will act accordingly.
Republicans are stupid. They could have defeated the health care bill by not supporting that amendment.
What frauds.
I wouldn’t have voted yea on this amendment in any case. It claimed to be “pro-life,” but it only was pro-life for some, not all, in violation of the principles of equality of all before the law, and the unalienable, God-given right to life of all persons.
And, it was stupid. It gave just enough Congressmen just enough political cover to vote for the final bill.
Unprincipled and stupid. The whole thing made me sick.
As a catholic, I am confused and frankly upset that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops signed on to this, with the provision of “incest and rape” exclusion in the amendment. Life is life regardless of how it happened. I don’t believe the baby knows the difference.
