Free Republic needs to drop its opposition to rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. Who is going to lead it if not us?
“Extremism in the Defense of Liberty is No Vice.”
“gtsamson (The GOP has no place for extremism.)”
Depends on what one calls “extremism.”
“Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the constitution and maximizing individual rights and liberty as originally envisioned and established by our Founding Fathers and secured and defended by the blood of patriots and statesmen for over two hundred years.”
Understanding the necessity of this statement, let us admit:
1. We do not have a Constitutionally limited federal government at present;
2. The powers not expressly deligated by the Constitution to the federal government are now being taken by the federal government anyway.
3. The 9th and 10th Amendments are trashed by the Feds.
4. The Federal government doesn’t care one hour of the month about the sovereignty of anything outside of Washington DC.
Not advocating anything. Just reiterating the facts.
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that 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 new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..."
'Nuff said...
The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. We are slowly but inexorably becoming slaves to the government. Hussein Obama and his gang of Chicago thugs will complete the process by 2012. The Constitution is just a piece of paper now; they have effectively shredded it.
Rebellion, secession, and an overthrow of our socialist masters is exactly what is needed. I dont want to live my life as a slave to a bunch of socialists in DC. I dont want to live in a country where some poor black woman cries to Hussein Obama at a press conference and she gets a house. Who is he? Eva Peron? Thats not my America. Republican and Democrats alike need to go.
