Happy Birthday America
On the way to work this morning, my local NPR affiliate played a choice selection of dialogue… they had people read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety. From the first words uttered, I had goose bumps. Our nation today is going through a lot of trials and tribulations and these injustices are on par with, at times surpassing, where our forefathers drew the proverbial line in the sand.
King George was accused of “erect[ing] a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
He was also held accountable “For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury” and “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.”
However, I feel one of the most important accusations within is that of “abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments.”
233 years ago, the founding fathers’ most valuable laws may not have been the same as our most valuable laws today. But, without their perseverence and steadfast resolve, I would not be able to write my opinion down. I would not be able to rally a cry of revolution. I would not be able to hold our overlords accountable for the repeated injustices they have committed against their people.
The real judgement day is coming. I’m not talking about fairy tales from ancient books, I’m talking about they day we judge you! Your refusal to do what is right for our great country is your greatest offense.
Now is the time for you to change your ways and return to the ideals this country was founded upon. Read the words of our treasured documents. Those that wrote the words that changed world were wise, pay attention and change your ways before it is too late. Follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Stop taking our natural rights and replacing them with collective rights or priveleges. Stop violating our human nature. We can speak our of turn, we can yell in the streets, we can gather to discuss your demise, and more importantly, we have the right to follow through with it.
