If America's Founding Fathers could travel through time from 1776 to 2010, they would call our present government a TYRANNY.
America's Founders fought a war over taxes that were one-tenth the size of today's taxes, and King George III would never have dreamed of taking America's tax revenue and giving it to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of abortions, or using that money to remove copies of the Ten Commandments. The British government, denounced by America's Founding Fathers as a tyranny, was a benevolent, Christian, libertarian government compared to the government Republicans have given us over the last 6 years. Listen to the words of America's Founders:
- a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under ,
- The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
- He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
- He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
- In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
What was so bad about the British government that it had to be overthrown by a violent revolution?
Nothing, really.
The real question is, why are Americans so blind to tyranny in our day?
| 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.... |
The answer is all too obvious. American want tyrants to confiscate the wealth of others and redistribute it to themselves. They vote for the candidate who will "bring home the bacon," which means voters think "their" candidate is smarter than all the other congressmen, who are saying the same thing to voters in their district. The other congressmen are all promising their constituents that they are going to take money from those stupid hillbillies in Southwest Missouri and bring it home to their districts.
If you vote for the candidate you think will trick the other congressmen into taxing their constituents so "your" congressman can give you subsidies and benefits, then you are voting for tyranny.
There is another reason why Americans want tyranny: they prefer "security" over liberty. Find out more here.
