Revolution? Jefferson's words ring true for our time...

[Her Blondness]

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"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."


The Declaration of Independence lists grievances on THEIR King George, the similarities are almost eerie:

"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."

"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. "

"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. "

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. "

"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation"

"For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: "

"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:"

"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. "

"He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. "

"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 and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."

Those words could have been written today!
