3. If this were the 1700's

There would already be a revolution.

Remember, our forefathers went to war for alot less than what's happening now.

Imagine telling Patrick Henry that he had to take a drug test before becoming a lawyer.

What happened to: 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?

Is this a clause the Re:puke:'s have forgotten?

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.

I could go on and on. I'm just so ashamed of what our government has become. Hell.....I'm ashamed of what our society has become.

Since when is it wrong to be tolerant?

Why are we looked down upon because we want women to make their own decisions about their bodies?

Why do we get publicly berated because we want to make sure our fellow Americans don't starve in the street?

Do we give up our freedom in lieu of security?

Benjamin Franklin didn't think so:
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Nor do I.

4. Patrick Henry wouldn't know what a drug test is.

Btw, the Declaration of Independance has no legal standing as a document and the Constitution gives the president the right to abolish parts of itself in case of armed conflict.

14. deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

How can the people know enough to give consent when everything is a secret? The people are supposed to know what is happening and be able to express their wish. Open Government is an absolute must for a Republic to exist. Dictaters operate in complete secrecy not Democracies.

5. The America voter, in unfathomable numbers, ratified everything this

Administration has or has not done, be it reckless fiscal policies, destruction of the environment, pre-emptive war(s), the whole smear.

7. not sure what you mean by "ratified"

but a crime is a crime, treason is treason, war crimes are war crimes.

[H2O Man]

8. That's right.

They did not "ratify" crimes.

[indepat]

15. My use of ratified here, without the aid of a dictionary is blessed,

liked, agreed with, have no problem with, i.e., I like the job you are doing and the direction you are taking our country and I am voting for you.

6. Good point.

But how?

[many a good man]

9. Right to revolution went out with the Constitution

Funny how things look different when YOU become the government...

[mmonk]

10. But the current government

is not going by the constitution nor many of our laws.

[many a good man]

11. Alberto Gonzales has already declared

Constitution doesn't apply to the President...

[Cleita]

12. I'm with you mopaul, but we are going to have light a

fire under the Judiciary Committee to impeach him, or try to get some judge to start hearings under RICO.

13. what about the WILL and the POWER?
