The Declaration we need to love, honor, and respect...

I have a few responses to the Declaration of Independence as to how our Mr. Bush has decided to make his legacy in accordance to it...




The Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America,

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.

(This simply means that we must respect what nature has created and allow for us the value in learning about eachother from a humanistic point of view rather than a political point of view. We must take eachother at the human core that we are the same and find and respect the differences in us all.)


We hold these truths to be self-evident,
(This is it.. This is the shit! This is what is real! Kay!!!...)
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.
(We are all human with the same human rights as the other guy...)
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
(You rule only because we said so, in the legal process of independent voting)

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.
(In other words, you do what we ask you to do to lead us to become a better country. If not, don't play these bullshit games that you're doing, get the fuck out!!!...Oh! and we have all legal right to make sure that this happens to the letter of the law as in the Constitution that you were supposed to be protecting....Kay!!!) Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, 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. (It's time you take the back door, George! You've overextended your welcome, and hit the road Jack!)
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
(We've taken this shit long enough!)

and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
(Okay, Pelosi, where is your set of balls to take this administration on?!)

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
(let the freedom of the press speak the true word and show what a tyrant you have been. Expose the truth to the murder, lies, and deception that you have conveniently been scamming to the average American!)

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. (looked us all in the eye, lied, cheated, killed, stole without any regard to our laws and system...)
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
(You have negated the processes of the check and balance system of our government...)

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
(Consciously sides with the voice of the corporations and not the people. Rearranged the voting areas to the betterment of the Republican party in order to get elected slighting the voice of the people in the district...)

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
(You have held secret meetings without all necessary parties involved in order to make your policies work. You have also stated to the legislators regarding Iraq as truth and gave the legislators false and doctored information in order to make your claim as truth...)

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
(You have struck down with the tyrannical voice of politics against the voice of the people)

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
(You must know when it is time to get the fuck out, since you are doing way more damage now than if you were not here...get the fuck out!)

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
(You have made things difficult for new voices of the human cause to reach their place into our open and free society due to rules and regulations banning the freedom to enter this great land...)

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
(You have enboldened the power of the Supreme Court on to your viewpoints to sway the views so that you will never have to be held accountable!!)

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
(You're quite off-shore payments to the judges to which you have placed onto the Supreme Court should be noted and you need to be held accountable, as well as the judge.)

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
(You ave created a bigger, more costly government which is creating a massive debtload to the United States tax system...)

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
(Through your extended stay system of continuous call backs to duty you have created a faux draft...)

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
(By creating a "war on terror" you have instilled the executive privilege over our troops without the people's consent. )

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:
(You have lied, misrepresented facts and construed the system to on fake that you were protecting our rights...)

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
(Overextending the military...)

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
(By falsifying the courts to benefit your cronies...)

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
(You have reduced our respect for business throughout the world to the detriment of our economic expansion...)

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
(You have raised taxes without our consent...)

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
(You have created new laws allowing for detention without representation....)

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.
(You have held us in secret prisons throughout the world for your benefit to be tried through manipulated systems of jurisprudence.)

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
(You have begun to arbitrarily change the laws of the state to become precident...)

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
(You have changed the rules of the political game...you can't do that...)

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
(You bypassed the need for acknowledgment of the necessity for a congressional approval for the invasion of a sovereign country...)

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
(You have monitored our phone calls and made it permissible to now do so, without our consent is just the beginning to the invasions of our privacy...)

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
(Your lack of attention to New Orleans and the Katrina victims is just an example of the lack of attention to the needs and victims of our nations disasters to which we pay taxes for this government to help assist those in need....)

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 & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. (Your acts of waterboarding, and other means of interrogation...)
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
(Holding men without reason is a bad thing, simply to get information on the "other guy"....)

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
(You have egged on the people to which you are hoping to stop in order to maintain a "war on terror"! Simply to keep your profitable campaign moving forward.)


In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. (You have listened to the people with a deaf ear throughout your reign on terror...Despite the fact of what we as a populace might state, you have done otherwise...)

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
(Despite how you have mis informed the allies of this country we must maintain that you are an idiot and we the people don't truly follow this kind of stupidity...)


We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War,
(You have maintained that you have the right to rule the world as you see fit...)
conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
(Your dedication to the Repugnicant party is unmatched as is your dedication to amassing such wealth through the power vested in you for your position as supposed elected ruler of the free world...)
