Declaration Of Independence
March 2, 2009
I believe that after the Holy Bible, the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence are the three most important written documents that exist on this planet. Below is the first section of the United States Declaration of Independence.
I hope you will take the time to read what I have shared with you today and take an extra minute out of your busy day to pay special attention to what our founding fathers had to say. They spoke from experience and personally, I believe they were inspired by the Almighty Creator. These are extremely powerful words that weren’t just pulled out of thin air.
I have taken the liberty to highlight a few statements that I believe are quite relevant to many things that are taking place today, in this the greatest nation on earth.

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.
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. 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. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. 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.

Over the weekend, I listened to Rush Limbaugh’s address to the Conservative Political Action Conference. If you haven’t seen it, this link is one resource where you can.
Rush spoke of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness and what he said was that the only thing standing in anyone’s way of achieving such was government interference.
Government is too big, too powerful, secretive and lacking in consideration of the people. It steps outside the legality of the Constitution and yet we the people say nothing in objection. Isn’t it time to change that?

Surely you don’t LIKE that loud mouth blowhard?
Face it, Republicans will screw us. Democrats will screw us. What we need is REVOLUTION (and that’s not a Ron Paul plug, either)
But, it won’t be happening. Sadly.
Good article, Tom. I wish he would blow harder, don’t you?
There is nothing in this world that compares to the Bible or the Declaration
of Independence….. never will be. In fact, last year a ten year study was finished on the Declaration. It ranked second to the Bible – and it’s no wonder.
Some lights are coming on here and there for folks, Tom. I love it. Thanks
I watched his segment Sat. and again Sunday. I enjoyed it both times. I know he is an entertainer, and this was raw meat entertainment. Not at all surprised the Dems wigged out. They are more interested in things of the dark. Shine a bright light on them and they scatter like roaches.
If a turd had gotten up and said the same things, I would have clung to the words. It matters not to me who says them. It’s what is said and if they are meant.
I’m a going with Missy….
Both these damn politico parties are the same and they both screwed us royal..This started with Woodrow Wilson..And Colonel Mandel House and his creation of the CFR….
The CFR’s agenda from its birth to date is the DESTRUCTION of this REPUBLIC, and the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and every damn President since Wilson has helped the ruin of thid nation and the Liberties of its peoples.
The Constitution begins with the words “WE THE PEOPLE ” and the last three words at the end of the Tenth Amendment are ” TO THE PEOPLE” So it’s flat out about the people being in control, and owning a central national government…Since that is the case how the heck did we wind up with a government owning us ?
It’s called the 14th Amendment forced upon a broken and war torn nation in 1868 by RED REPUBLICANS and further in 1913 the Establishment of that FOREIGN OWNED EUROPEAN “FEDERAL RESERVE” FIAT PAPER AND INK LIARS DAMN BANK… FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD got us what we have now..

Please do, I couldn’t agree more as I hate you..
Tom started this piece off with the words. “I believe that after the Holy Bible,” I agree that nothing written can stand Before Gods word. I searched scripture to define a Christan response to Civil Disobedience against government, to know where God want’s me to be. The following is an arcticle by written by John MacArthur
We believe the Scripture teaches that we are to submit to government even if that government does not function entirely (or even primarily) by biblical principles (Romans 13:1-7). That principle is explicit in Peter’s message to servants (1 Peter 2:18-19), which directly follows his more general comments regarding government (vv. 13-17). And that epistle teaches the same thing over and over again in varied ways: Submit even if you suffer, because in doing so you identify with Christ and are blessed (cf. 2:21-24; 3:1-2; 4:12-14; 5:9-10). There are times when we must obey God rather than men, but we believe that we should disobey the authorities only if they command us to do something directly against God’s law (e.g. Acts 5:29 and its surrounding context).
That is a fine distinction, but it is precisely where the issue lies. If we say that Christians are only required to obey their government when it is functioning by scriptural principles, we then nullify the teaching of Romans 13:1-7 and 1 Peter 2:13-17 in just about any age of history-especially the time during which those passages were written! The Roman government was as corrupt and godless as any in history, and yet Paul and Peter told Christians to “live in subjection,” “submit to every ordinance,” and “honor the king.”
So we believe that civil disobedience is justified only when government compels us to sin, or when there is no legal recourse for fighting injustice. The reason we draw the line there is simply because all the scriptural examples of civil disobedience fall squarely into those two situations. Any other kind of activism has no precedent in the Word of God and violates the spirit of Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2.
I am submitting this on behalf of the author B. Smith and myself and all others in our nation whom are already practicing this essential act.
