"Iceland has overtaken Norway as the world's most desirable country to live in, according to an annual U.N. table published on Tuesday that again puts AIDS-afflicted sub-Saharan African states at the bottom." (aol.com)
"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." (Jefferson of course wrote this. let me now alter it slightly)
The history of the current president of the United States of America 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.
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." (Original King George crime)
He has engaged our militias and armed forces, so necessary for crisis control and protection of our citizenry, in unjust wars without the consent of our Congress of Representatives; nor has he bowed to the wishes of the United Nations in its sincere desire to attend to World Peace.
He has opposed laws which would allow people to engage in their own choice of holy matrimony; thus interfering in the affairs of church, with state power.
He has vetoed laws repeatedly, abusing the right of his station for the sole purpose of preventing just laws from being passed for the good of his constituents.
He has Refused to levy taxes for necessary public works, for the socialization of expedient health care, for public education of Our children, for important scientific research. Instead he has misproportioned the taxes to fund afforementioned unjust and tyrannical wars.
In the name of Democracy he has imposed a rule by the people upon the savages and misogynistic fanatics of Afganistan, thus allowing them to legislate the murder of homosexuals and the oppression of the female population in a manner reminiscent of american law; in doing so he has brought illegitimacy upon our own government.
"He has endeavoured 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." (Also an original and unaltered king George crime)
He has opposed the woman's choice, as a vessel of the creation of life, to terminate the life within her own very body, at such a time as it is proper to do so. He has justified this with his own fanatical religion, further blurring the sacred lines between church and state.
He has sent into the lands of Mesopotamia, into the sovereign country of Iraq, our national guardsmen and Marine Corps for the purpose of finding weapons of mass destruction; weapons that did not exist. He has deposed their tyrant and now seeks to stabilize their people with another forced democracy.
He has threatened sovereign nations with the threat of our military power.
He has ordered our military to perform torturous acts in direct violation of the sovereign Geneva Convention; thus abandoning the honorable rules of just battle and damning us all to barbarism.
For electing to allow laws passed that promote low minded practices, many of which alter our climate to an extent that it may become uninhabitable to the human being, and unliveable to the human race.
For abandoning reason and supporting scientific falsehoods to an extent that the People do not understand the difference between Fact and faith.
For not protecting Our people from the natural disaster unavoidable due to his regimes wicked practices of damaging the environment: He has failed to properly aid victims of the Hurricane Katrina, an event which claimed thousands of lives.
He has Propogated a climate of paranoia an fear in a country once renowned for its open policies and strong stance on protecting the world's peace.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of freelance mercenaries oversea to complete his barbarous, monstrous acts of death and destruction upon the People of Iraq, acts so damnable so as to have scarcely been seen in the most ancient of times.
He has incited domestic strife between us; giving his support and power to those extreme minority elements in the nation that support the perversity that is called religion, those who seek to place us all in the tyrannical grip of bizarre, psychotic delusions.
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 President, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
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 States, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Executive branch, and that all political connection between them and the legitimacy of the Executive branch, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, 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.
This is a slightly modified version of the Declaration of Independence. It is disconverting how it seems that Bush has committed far greater atrocities than the taxation of tea and the transport of hession. I would sign such a document, if he ever decides to not surrender his power at the end of his term.
