"When the Government becomes destructive...."

Here is a quote of Thomas Jefferson in relation to the Bill of Rights re destructive government and my opinion based on my rights...

"They are to derive their just powers from the "consent" of the governed". Has the majority of the citizens of this country consented to the Democrats controlling our health care? I think not! This government has become destructive to our inherent and inalienable rights. It's time for the people to abolish it and institute new... it's our right!! Seems to me this "destructive government" could have helped those who needed or wanted it and left the rest of us alone. They need to be ousted!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable 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 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." --Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

Sorry this is so lengthy.....

Did You Know...

Obama is the first President in history to have not attended the Annual Military Honors Awards Ceremony??? He was attending a press release in honor of himself... how dishonorable is that of a President?? Despicable in my opinion when these men and women in our military are fighting every day for his freedom and he couldn't give them a couple hours of his time.
