Why is Justice blindfolded?
I am speaking of the allegorical Justice, also known as Lady Justice. She is usually represented holding a balance and sword, the former symbolizing fairness and the latter her power. Altogether, she represents the moral authority of law, or rather, that the law ought to observe morality.
She is also blindfolded. The blindfold represents the impartiality of Justice, that she is subject neither to prejudice nor influence. The second one influence is most significant in terms of our discussion.
It has been pointed out that the Boston Tea Party was carried out over confiscatory taxation on a scale far lower than that to which the average American is now obligated. Similarly, recent revelations concerning the egregious and illegal deeds of the Obama administration have given rise to the question of just how much our current situation parallels that of the men who founded this nation.
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.
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
Our founders were predominantly Englishmen, most of whom held a love for their country and their heritage, so the decision to risk their lives, property and the future of their progeny was not taken lightly. I believe that the most difficult question they had to consider concerning the impending struggle against the British crown was this: When? When is enough
enough? When, or at what point, was it appropriate in their estimation to seriously discuss revolution? There could be no ambivalence as to their moral right to engage in war with Britain.

"We have two men, Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, who have demonstrated absolutely no regard for the law nor the Constitution that enshrines that law. The irony of the fact that they both allegedly hold law degrees is only significant in this having provided them with the ability to more adroitly circumvent the law. Numerous individuals are complicit in their crimes, but Obama and Holder are the principals, along with Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, possibly the most dangerous woman who has ever lived."
King George III was a fair and just sovereign by comparison.
The only difference between Obama and Lenin, is a little less than 100 years. Instead of targeting conservatives when will he march them into the courtyard and have them shot?
Revolt is coming.
Erik Rush closes the article:
The courage and sacrifice of those who went before us demands that we rise to the occasion and guard those liberties that have been purchased with so terrible a price.
Take up the quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we pass the torch, Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.
Col. John McCrae, 1917
“Revolt is coming.”
Indeed.

I fear my Country is teetering on a cliff of bad things to come.
We are boiled succulent frogs. Our parts floating around in a haze of entitlement and self serving satisfaction.
First we’re gonna have to summon the courage to take on the Republican Party if we think we actually have what it takes to confront the government.
The Founding Fathers would be shooting by now.
November—2014 Watch as the MSM spin it so the Progs can cheat there way to another 2 years of power. Let us hope that the folks will wake up in time to put an end to the charade.
As many are want to say here, and with which I agree, our forefathers would’ve been shooting by now.
When?
When there’s not a lot of risk of us shooting back, that’s when.
Revolt is coming. Not today or tomorrow even, but it is coming.
Obamacare needs to be done away with, the Patriot Act needs to be done away with, the IRS needs to be done away with, the EPA needs to be done away with, the DOE needs to be done away with. If they do that, then there is hope. Otherwise, it will be vain and empty hope that we are clinging to. There will only be two choices left to us, slave or not.
People were living by thinner margins back then which meant that it took less tyranny to affect them....
Things have to get a whole lot worse to wake up the fatarses that the average low information voter....
1776 was a Political Revolution wherein we separated from England. The coming revolution will be a Social Revolution wherein the Third World will commence the battle for our extermination on this continent.
When this thign starts, it may not be obvious, and it will be spun as a disgusting, low-down, crazy and unpatriotic thing to do.
But it has to start somewhere, somehow, and its foolish to think it will be quite as clean as Lexington and Concord, with peacefully assembled farmers being assaulted by professionally trained soldiers in bright redcoats.
Revolt is coming -- and will you recognize it when you hear of it?
Toespi said: “Instead of targeting conservatives when will he march them into the courtyard and have them shot?”
Does revolt happen when Hussein has one of us shot and being a conservative is why he shot him/her? That won't be the official reason given. Do we wait until his civil war squad (under Homeland Security) is on our street rounding us up?
Where is the red line Hussein can't cross over or patriots actually attack?
Where is the red line?
