The year is 1776 and America is at War! From the earliest days of settlement in the Colonies, England and the Crown had considered the colonies to be a grand source of badly needed resources and income as well as, over time, an efficient way to reduce the excess, and often troublesome, population. In doing so, Britain overlooked two important concepts, human nature and history
In the majority, the British colonists came to the “new world” seeking an opportunity for a “better life” and/or freedom from religious persecution. Throughout Europe feudal government (“Statism”) had produced a social structure controlled by an “elite” class and a (majority) worker class whose sole purpose was to support “the State”. Many people saw the new world as their only chance to make a better life for themselves and their families.
The predominate Christian religion, in Britain and Europe at the time, was divided into numerous factions or sects. Religion was a commonly used tool of control by the ruling elite. A particular faction would be declared the “State Religion” and used to suppress portions of the population. Additionally, persecution between factions was common. Many colonists came to the new world specifically for the purpose of religious freedom, often placing that right in their original governing documents.
Britain’s biggest error was the failure to remember history and the effect it had on the beliefs of her people – in particular, “The Rights of Man” dating back to the Magna Carta in 1215. The preeminent concept of British Common Law was the concept of “Natural Law”. Natural – or “Divine” – law states simply that, within Natural Law, each person has, from their Creator, certain “Rights”. Such rights were not granted by man or government and could not be taken by man or government without the taking of a person’s life. Furthermore, “… no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.”.
What England, and the King in particular, failed to understand was that every British colonist considered themselves to be loyal British Citizens – with the same rights and freedoms of any other British Citizen! The King, on the other hand, considered the colonists to be his subjects but lacking in the same rights and representation as persons in England.
His answer to the colonist’s complaints was oppressive taxation and regulation such as the 1764 Sugar Act, 1765 Stamp Act, and 1767 Townshend Act. The 1773 Tea Act resulted in 342 chests of tea being thrown into Boston Harbor by The secret patriot organization, The Sons of Liberty. The British responded with several acts of punishment, the “Intolerable Acts, in an attempt to crush the “rebellion”. Contrary to that hope, the acts crystalized the colonists resolve to resist British oppression.
On April 19, 1775 British General Gage sent out regiments of British Soldiers to capture Sam Adams and John Hancock, in Lexington, and to seize the colonial armory at Concord. Colonial sympathizers advised the colonists of the plan. Paul Revere, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott rode to warn the countryside. The British were met at Lexington Green and the rest is history – the Colonies were at War!
On August 23, 1775, King George III declared the colonists to be “in a state of open and avowed rebellion”. The colonists elected delegates to what became the Continental Congress. In May 1775 Congress made one last attempt to reason with King George and was rebuffed. A committee was appointed to draft a declaration. On July 4, 1776 13 Sovereign and independent states declared their independence from tyranny, their grievances, their right to independence and proclaimed to the world THE CREATION OF A NEW NATION. FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS AT WAR!
Santayana’s Maxim states that “Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Most people have heard some version of this warning. How many recognize when it plays out around them? Of those who may have seen it happening, how many did anything to prevent it?
With the Declaration of Independence the British colonists became the American People, a people whose heritage would be the indomitable will of a free people, dedicated to freedom and justice for ALL! In their Declaration were stated 27 “grievances” of the natural rights of all people, everywhere. There is a striking similarity between some of the malevolent actions of the British Crown and those of the Malignant Cancer that is the “Left” today!
Examples (I am sure you can name many other similarities):
“He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.”
(e.g. Preventing safe borders, refusing to fix absurd immigration laws (purely to keep political power), attempting to destroy border protection forces, refusing voter ID, protecting the Constitution as it originally was interpreted, protecting free speech, freedom of religion, the bill of rights, etc., etc….)
“He has obstructed the Administration of Justice…”
(e.g. initiate false accusations/investigations, subvert justice selection, falsify and/or destroy evidence, Ignore or hide violations of law, refuse to prosecute violations of law, blocking voter ID laws, conceal fraud/graft, give aid and comfort to our enemies [uranium sales](= Treason), denying right to innocence until proven guilty, denying due process [Kavanaugh], FBI misconduct, DOJ misconduct, etc., etc., etc.).
“He has made judges dependent on his will alone … ”.
(e.g. Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Roberts(?), slander, falsified charges, refusal to approve Judges keeping the oath to support and defend the Constitution, destroying any constitutional judges …)
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance”
(e.g. EPA, BLM, DOE, HHS, HUD, DOT, IRS, CIA, FBI, DOJ, DEA, ATF, EEOC, FHA, FDA, OSHA, TSA, …)
“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”
(e.g. Arms Trade Treaty, Agenda 21 [Pelosi, southern poverty law center supported], UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change[Kyoto Protocol] …)
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …”
(e.g. ANTIFA, BLM, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Ilhan Omar, Commiewood, The Five, Twitter, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, et. al)
The parallels between the reasons our Founders fought and the attacks on our republic today are undeniable for any true American. The only difference is that our Founders fought the tyranny of a foreign power while today America fights the most despicable and loathsome of attackers – American(s) In Name Only (AINO) traitors! As such, while our Founders fought a war of independence, the nature of our enemy today – traitors within – defines our current state of war as The Second American Civil War!
It has become painfully, and nauseatingly obvious over the past month that AINOs, like Pelosi, Schumer, Boxer, Feinstein, Omar, et. al, have nothing but distain for their BROKEN OATHS, the American people and the nation. Their only desire is POWER – power no matter the cost in American lives and safety. ONLY an enemy of this nation could try to dispute that, AMERICA IS AT WAR!
