Since HR 3590 'The American Enslavement through Healthcare' Bill passed tonight by a vote of 219 traitors to 212 non-traitors (I can’t go so far as to call most of them patriots), I think it is time that we, the People, re-look the words which set some patriots on the path which allowed the creation of this once great and unique country:

 

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 abolish it, and to institute a 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. 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.

 

I think it might be time for us to re-commit to these principles with as much dedication as those towering men to which we owe all. If we can re-commit, what can and should we do?

Since the foundation--the Constitution--is basically sound, we can safely tear it all down by eliminating about 80% of the laws and regulations and 90% of the federal government itself. As for the foundation, a few patches should do, like getting rid of the 16th & 17th amendments, the general Welfare clause for starters; add some things like establishing a real wall between Education and State similar to the imaginary wall between Church and State, jury nullification, State nullification, the right of secession and term limits; and clarify a few things such as the Commerce Clause and the Supremacy Clause, and we will again have a functional national government that fulfills it proper functions in a free society.

But in my heart I know this is all a dream. It can never be accomplished because the one, critical element is missing: the popular will. Between government control of education (read that word 'indoctrination') and the bought and paid for slaves that constitute about 50% of the people in this country, there is no longer any real hope for these United States. It was a good experiment, though. America...Rest In Peace.
