Can We Start Abolishing Them Now?

Consider one of the guiding principals upon which this nation was founded; consider then the news and events of the last several months, and ask if this is not the time to take action against the destruction that is being pushed down our collective throats, both in the political and cultural arenas. In response, I submit the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence:

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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.

It has become abundantly clear that this current tyrannical government has strayed so far from its intended function that remedial action is required to right the ship of state.  If the election of 2024 is in any way compromised, including by the devious maneuverings of the Democrat party going on right now, I fear the solution the founders provided for us may be not only just and applicable, but requisite.

And when, not if, the lawful exercise of that right - that duty - happens, God help us all.
