Word

(From Chris Muir; click to enlarge)

“Scarcely have our minds been able to emerge from the astonishment into which one stroke of parliamentary thunder has involved us, before another more heavy, and more alarming, is fallen on us. Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate and systematical plan of reducing us to slavery. When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state, and calls for an exercise of the power of dissolution”.

--Thomas Jefferson, A Summary View of the Rights of British America, 1774

  2. Aaaaahhhh...."If you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!" Sean@10MAY11, 1:54 PM reads like a real lib. Odd how he calls out CA for this posting. However, ONE Patriot invoking his/our rights under the 2nd Amendment will only lead to the "shooter" getting hung out to dry, no matter how righteous the shooting.

    The shooting is coming....in due course as the villains at every level of government continue to attack our freedoms. And it won't be one Patriot enforcing Freedom. It will be many.

    Hey Sean....go back to your Huffington Post where you belong.
