Wasn't that the place that Patton pulled your backsides out of the fire?!
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to 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 shown 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."
The Declaration Of Independence.
Idk if this is right section to post but I would like to share one of my favorite quotes. After sitting back and looking at America today I can see why Benjamin Franklin said this. Every American needs to read this and understand it! Anyways post yalls favorite quotes as well
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”- Benjamin Franklin
I've been watching the news off and on and the main theme I keep seeing come up is "better intel" and "MORE LISTS".
More lists, being the main theme, would most likely ban us gun owners from flying and probably veterans too. You know, since we're all kooks and threats.
It's getting sickening out there.
EDIT: I just noticed this was posted before Christmas. However, your quote reminds me of the very thing happening today.
