"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"
This is the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence - the path, the summary, the purpose of our country.
Ask your children to listen to it. Tell them what it means. Tell them what it means to you. Tell them to memorize it (I had to, in school), and to tell their friends and recite it to their teachers. Make them listen. Make them memorize it so that it will indelibly
find a niche in their brains. This is America. This is the Founding Fathers speaking to them across almost three centuries.
Think about this last year and think of the concept of our blossoming country rising from the passion of the patriots; from a war hard fought, hard won.
Think about what Obama and his gang of thieves and yes, George Dubya have done to this country. Every day is an onslaught against our freedoms; the purpose of this administration is to force us into the darkness of bondage and suppression; to force us to obey the government, to bring us to our knees in terror, when it should be WE on our feet, ready to revolt in whatever way we are effective, against a handful of renegade, evil employees who should be terrified of WE, THE PEOPLE AND THE POWER WE WIELD.
