“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.”
Declaration of Independence.
I became a Declarationist years ago, when I realized that the By-Any-Means-Necessary Democrat Party and some of their pals across the aisle were going to subvert the Constitution, in the end.
Bingo!
I’m with you, Jim.
Somebody gets it and you nailed it.
Thanks.
Amen and God Bless you and America !
Agree and gun control was the last straw for the Founders.
That declaration, although no force of law, was written in response towards a tyrannical government that may have been in fact, less tyrannical than the one in power today.
Question is..who takes the first step?
I agree with you JIM, and as such, Trump is 100% correct. Jefferson said every government needs to experience a revolution from time to time to keep it honest.
Today, there is nothing honest going on with the government.
It has already failed to properly function.
OH if I were just 20 years younger, but then again, if we must then I follow suit.
To die a slave is no way to die, to die fighting for freedom, now that is an honorable death.
It takes Jim Robinson himself to give this the proper context.
That is the important context, however unpleasant to some.
Jim: The men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence were not posting a comment on social media. They were not indulging in a dorm room B.S. session about natural rights, and the implications if an established government persisted in violating them.
The men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence were declaring their unalterable intention of not just forcibly seeking a redress of grievances, but of establishing, by force of arms, a completely new government to govern their affairs. There was no ambiguity in the ultimate paragraph:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved;
Are you declaring that you are Absolved from all Allegiance to the United States? Do you believe Trump is doing so when he posts A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution ?
The men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence did not list the acts of tyranny of George III, and then conclude by stating that those acts "allowed" them to be absolved of their allegiance to the crown, and Britain, without actually doing so, in an attempt to be able to deny the obvious implications of their words.
There are examples in history of bringing about reform by working within systems, even even systems the reformers believed to be operating outside of their constitutional boundaries, and/or marred by election fraud. There are examples in history of reform brought about by raising the flag of rebellion, and taking the case for reform to the highest court of appeals -- the battlefield. But I cannot offhand think of a case where a politician succeeded electorally within the system by declaring that his circumstances allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.
👏👍 Exactly!
Amen.
Nice to see you back Jim.
Thank you for posting this. The more that is said and misrepresented about what DJT said; the more I keep coming back to your profound post.
God bless you.
Indeed! Our founding document.
HI JIM! How wonderful seeing a post from you. You just closed down the debate with prof that Trump was right according to the paragraph you posted. I pray for you regularly. God bless and keep you.
