America's Founding Fathers believed that tyranny was an offense against God.
Listen to the words of America's Founders as they describe the government in their day:
- 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.
- He
has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts
of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of
Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.
- He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous
ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
- 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 Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
- a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism
If America's Founding Fathers could travel through time from 1776 to 2013, they would call our present government a mega-TYRANNY.
- America's Founders fought a war over taxes that were one-tenth or one-twentieth the size of today's taxes, and
- King George III would never have dreamed
of taking America's tax revenue and giving it to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of abortions, or using that money to remove copies of the Ten Commandments from public view, or murdering millions of innocent non-combatant civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- The
British government, denounced by America's Founding Fathers as a
tyranny, was a benevolent, Christian, libertarian government compared to
the intrusive, tyrannical government Republicans and Democrats have
given us since 9/11, or since God was removed from public schools, or since FDR brought fascism and socialism
to America, or since Lincoln suspended the Constitution.
- No informed person can deny that our government today is more tyrannical than the government America's Founders abolished, or that Americans today love liberty less than Americans in 1776, or that the United States is no longer a nation "Under God," but a "secular" nation that thinks it is god.
What was so bad about the British government that it had to be overthrown by a violent revolution?
Nothing, really. Gary North goes so far as to say, The American Revolution Was a Mistake.
The real question is, why are Americans so
blind to tyranny in our day?
| 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.... |
Why won't Americans today risk anything to eliminate tyranny?
The
answer is all too obvious. Americans want tyrants to confiscate the
wealth of others and redistribute it to themselves. Americans might say
"Crime doesn't pay," but a majority of Americans believes that tyranny pays. They vote for the candidate who will "bring home the bacon," that is, steal the bacon
from stupid voters in other congressional districts. This means voters
think "their" candidate is smarter than all the other congressmen, who
are saying the same thing to voters in their district. The other
congressmen are all promising their constituents that their congressman
is going to take money from those stupid hillbillies in Southwest
Missouri and bring it home to their districts.
And they like "freedom from religion" so that they are not continually reminded of their sins
against God.
If
you vote for the candidate you think will trick the other congressmen
into taxing their constituents so "your" congressman can give you
subsidies and benefits, then you are voting for tyranny. You are voting
for theft.
There is another reason why Americans want tyranny: they prefer "security" over liberty. Find out more here.
“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to
humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations.
Tyranny is a habit, it has its own organic life, it develops finally
into a disease. The habit can kill and coarsen the very best man or
woman to the level of a beast. Blood and power intoxicate ... the return
of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.”
