When a Government Throws Off the Chains of Law

[The Whiskey Priest]

It does so only to bind the people in stronger chains.

and factually correct.

2. "When in the course of human events...."

We hold these truths to be self-evident... 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown 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.

Be careful, Mr. President. We overthrew one king before; we can do it again.

Hi, Agent Mike! :hi:

3. Hey Mike!

You're either with us, or you're against us! Just something to keep in mind, my friend. I know you ned the job and you are probably near retirement, but the time draws near where you will have to make a choice. I hope it will be an easy choice for you and you will pick your Country over a cabal of rich conspirators intent on destroying everything our forebears fought and died for.
