Would YOU support the overthrow of the American government as stated in the Declaration of Independence?

Question

or the abolishment?

Answer 1

Yes. A couple of days ago one of the topics was taxation without representation - it's gotten to the point that that's what's happening now! Most politicians are SO out of step with what's going on with the american people, every election is picking the lesser of two or three evils, and most people just don't care anymore because they realize they are being lied to at every turn. I'm not saying a violent revolution is the way, but SOMETHING should be done, and I would be in support of it.

Answer 2

much of what caused the founders to revolt has come to pass in this nation as business as usual..1. A private corp. called the Federal reserve bank issues our currency and makes policy..If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.

We are completely saddled and bridled, and the bank is so firmly mounted on us that we must go where they ill guide.

The dominion which the banking institutions have obtained over the minds of our citizens...must be broken, or it will break us. Thomas Jefferson

(Letter to James Monroe, January 1, 1815).

2 we now have ever increasing taxes to pay for ever increasing military spending to enforce US policy around the world.

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Thomas Jefferson

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." James Madison

It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.

James Madison

3. Big Business spend billions each year to secure contracts and subsidies that further indebt the nation, and corrupt our politics..

Few men have virtue enough to withstand the highest bidder.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter, Aug. 17, 1779

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

Thomas Jefferson

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

Answer 3

If it got bad enough, then yes.

Answer 4

A second American revolution may become necessary to reinstate the constitution as the law of the land if Obama gets in.

Answer 5

Why does everyone pick on Obama?  Doesn't anyone remember what Bush has been doing for eight horrible ******* years?

Answer 6

If the democtrat party keeps trying to destroy family values. h**l, yes

Answer 7

If Obama is elected, YES

Answer 8

When the government no longer serves the people and becomes the oppressor of the people it should be overthrown.

Answer 9

Most likely not to the first and never to the second. However, we have the right to vote, which in some terms could be used as a means to create a new government.

Answer 10

That's the purpose of elections in a democracy: Periodic organized overthrow of the government.

Remember that the declaration of Independence was written several years BEFORE the Constitution and founding of the United States.

Answer 11

yes i do!!!!  Things are out of hand!!!  It seems like washington doesnt even care about needs of the people any more.  it seems like they only care about pleasing lobbyist and their personal ambitions.

Answer 12

Depends...if our rights were being violated, like taking away guns and taxing the c**p out of us or one of George Soros' puppets were elected President...yes...and I would help lead it...

EDIT: Chenmosa...you forget you Liberals don't like guns, so I believe we have the upper hand...Bush gave the Military raises and improved our standard of living...we are on his side...and without us, no Coup would succeed...Obama will do like Clinton and try to take money away from us to give to the people he promised money to...so we will wait and see...

Answer 13

Currently our rights are being trampled in the name of a false sense of security.  The fact is that we have been lulled and shocked into compliance.  

I would support any reveloution that would take back our rights.

Down with fear mongering, Down with the Patriot Act, Down with BUSH  

We need a overthrow now more than ever
