(Sing along, folks: midi here)

Tell us the truth, John Kerry,
Tell us the truth,
Although it will be hard.
You can’t remember, Jean Boy,
Just what you did
Because you’ve lied so long.
That trip across the border,
One Christmas Eve
That’s seared into your brain—
We know it’s fiction, Johnnie,
(And so do you)
John Kerry let your records go!

More on the appeal to Jean Fraud sKerry at Cao’s Blog, including this:

Thie Bears Repeating in the Shadow of the Fourth—a Kipling Tuesday

The American Rebellion
1776
Before

Twas not while England’s sword unsheathed
Put half a world to flight,
Nor while their new-built cities breathed
Secure behind her might;
Not while she poured from Pole to Line
Treasure and ships and men–
These worshippers at Freedoms shrine
They did not quit her then!
Not till their foes were driven forth
By England o’er the main–
Not till the Frenchman from the North
Had gone with shattered Spain;
Not till the clean-swept oceans showed
No hostile flag unrolled,
Did they remember that they owed
To Freedom–and were bold!
After
The snow lies thick on Valley Forge,
The ice on the Delaware,
But the poor dead soldiers of King George
They neither know nor care.
Not though the earliest primrose break
On the sunny side of the lane,
And scuffling rookeries awake
Their England’ s spring again.
They will not stir when the drifts are gone,
Or the ice melts out of the bay:
And the men that served with Washington
Lie all as still as they.
They will not stir though the mayflower blows
In the moist dark woods of pine,
And every rock-strewn pasture shows
Mullein and columbine.
Each for his land, in a fair fight,
Encountered strove, and died,
And the kindly earth that knows no spite
Covers them side by side.
She is too busy to think of war;
She has all the world to make gay;
And, behold, the yearly flowers are
Where they were in our fathers’ day!
Golden-rod by the pasture-wall
When the columbine is dead,
And sumach leaves that turn, in fall,
Bright as the blood they shed.

The Declaration of Independence

Personal note: CLICK HERE for a personal request for help …for someone else

Please note the updates.

This post will stay on top through July 4, 2005. Between now and then, I plan on pointing out several issues in today’s society that this document seems to address… The first one I’ll simply issue as a question, here. (Other updates will intervene here as I post them.)

4.) “,,,For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent… “

“For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… “

Now, here the electorate (that’s you and me) can accept full blame for “taxation without representation” for we have allowed the shysters, thieves, poltroons and mountebanks that comprise the overwhelming majority of congresscritters to tax us indirectly without our informed consent. It is our (as the citizenry as a whole) laziness, greed and poor citizenship that has allowed our congresscritters to get away with it.

You don’t want to pay your own taxes AND the taxes of every single business you buy from? Fine. Let it be known to your congresscritters. Campaign for someone who will work for honesty and transparency in taxation.

As for the followup to the taxation issue (denial of trial by jury), well, citation of just one “rule” is enough to prove the case:

There are no Tax Court juries.

Now, that’s an abomination.

3.) “…He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance…”

I was going to list agencies that “eat out [our] substance” and “harass our people” here, but when the list of such grew to over 1,000, I figured it’d be far too long to read…

Only a very few of the agencies of the Federal Gummint have honest Constitutional purposes or authority, and most of those are related to military or foreign relations. The rest are largely just Alexander Hamilton’s dreams come true.

2.) “…He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us…”

Let me simply and easily falsify the idea that the Federal Government we have is heir to the Founders with three minimal citations of murder and abduction by Federal government officials:

Ruby Ridge
Waco
Elian Gonzalez

Until those responsible for these acts—and their minions, such as Lon Horiuchi—have been brought to justice, it stands as demonstrable that the Federal government “…has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of its Protection and waging War against us…”

1.) Where, among today’s congresscritters, could 56 people be found who understand and could honestly echo these words?

“ 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 .”

“Sacred Honor” among the thieves, poltroons and mountebanks largely populating today’s Congress? Finding such would be a daunting task indeed, on the order of Lot’s serach for three good men in Sodom and Gomorrah or Diogenes’ search for an honest man…
