    MJ here...I always thought I was a Proud Liberal and my footer has had excerpts from the declaration of Independence for at least a year. Now one of America's leading conservative publications is reflecting my thoughts exactly. Jeeze, the conservatives are really facing reality in the past few days. Read this...Since the author asks people to forward it around I have enclosed the full script. Remember, this article is from The Conservative Voice:

    New Declaration of Independence
    February 24, 2007 12:00 PM EST

    The time has come for all good citizens and patriots of America to recognize the serious crises our country faces. America is in one of the darkest hours it has ever seen. Please demonstrate your love for your freedom, liberty and those basic tenants of republican forms of representative government of, by and for the people so governed by reading the following declaration of independence and forwarding it over your email address to as many elected officials at local, state and federal level that you possibly can.

    I sent my copy to the president and vice president as well as the Kentucky state legislators and my local elected representatives. They must be informed of the need to define our independence from their corrupt governance. We can do that by the ballot but there is precious little time to see it done. If any candidates for public office refuse to sign this most simple document of liberty from tyranny they do not deserve to hold those treasured offices of service to the people of this union. Please help us let them know what it means to be an American and especially a servant to citizens of this great nation, and send this to all your contacts for similar involvement. Thank you.

    This the 22nd of February , 2007

    The United States of America has been subjected to rule of corrupt, tyrannical, Bushite politicians who have violated letter and intent of rule of law at every turn. That rule of law is based on principles adopted from law established in the Magna Carta that limited power of the King in England in June 1215 and as was adopted into our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Therefore:

    We American Citizens hold these truths to be self-evident, all citizens are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among citizens, deriving their just powers from consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the American Citizens to alter or abolish it, and institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing it’s powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness…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 American Citizens and such is not the necessity which constrains them to alter their government. History of present democratic and republican political parties and political leaders is one of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object establishment of absolute tyranny over these Americans Citizens.

    Following facts define in part that tyranny in time of war where American lives are placed at risk:

    They have: Refused to assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary of the public good, and failed to provide for even our most basic of securities,

    Deceived and lied to us on important matters of state and refuse to correct egregious errors once discovered, denying all responsibility for the same and denying errors even exist,

    Failed to provide basic constitutional property protections by permitting property to be taken, without due process, for residential development through eminent domain condemnation when there is no public good,

    Provided governance by wealthy lobbyists who have interests different from ours, pork barrel legislation and ear marks that wasted taxpayer revenues for political expediency and self enrichment, promoted their conflicted interests taking large amounts of money from lobbyists to pass legislation injurious to American Citizens, and misspent government funds for expenditures that provide no benefit to American citizens,

    Forbidden legislatures to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance,

    Obstructed administration of justice, by refusing assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers and failure to enforce existing legislation, Erected multitudes of new offices and sent swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance,

    Denied our veterans promised medical and family benefits, and let millions of catastrophic disease (children and American citizen) victims of cancer (560,000), heart (900,000), septicemia (200,000), diabetes (30,000), flu (10,000), and many other deadly diseases die annually without research funding while providing over $30 Billion in funding for a minor disease AIDS (10,000 American Deaths Caused By Self-Destructive Behavior) for political expediency of social causes most American Citizens do not support that are injurious to the moral fiber of our families causing mass destruction of family units, despair and destruction of American poor, particularly our Native American and African American Citizens’ families,

    Polluted: our educational system with indoctrination political rhetoric that conflicts with basic constitutional freedoms and widely held American values regarding social relationships, and governance; causing great declines in school attendance, graduations, discipline, educational effectiveness, and education in American Citizenship while promoting crime, social disruption and anarchy.

    Combined with others: to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our constitution; (World Trade Organization WTO, International Monetary Fund IMF, Mexico, and others’ rule) and unacknowledged by our laws, giving their assent to their acts of pretended legislation for:

    Developing foreign language interpreter benefits requirements (Clinton Executive Order 13166) for recipients of federal revenues to place onerous financial burdens on us and destroy our common English language that serves to bond us as a sovereign nation, and developing school curriculums that promote insurrection and rebellion against the United States and its institutions with divisive social engineering rhetoric while ignoring basic skills needed to survive in a competitive work environment.

    Conspiring and colluding with foreign powers to alter our form of governance by Mexican illegal alien invasion of our borders, Creating at American Citizen expense, immoral “baby farms†to procreate foreign citizens and overpopulate our country with cheap labor, Providing fake legislation for border security guards without appropriate funding, Permitting Mexican Army and drug lord invasion without providing military support or declaring war, even after they have fired on United States sworn officers hundreds of times, permitting over 500,000 criminal illegal felons entry into America to rape, murder, steal and otherwise destroy our security, and providing benefits to foreign agents paid for by American citizens but not available to us.

    International non-reciprocal trade agreements and trade imbalances that force our businesses to close and create: onerous debt that destroys economic stability, massive exportation of our jobs and livelihood, and massive illegal immigration of invading foreigners who take our jobs, benefits, homes, and every other asset we work for, exploited workforces and undermined American small and medium sized businesses, redistributed American assets to foreign ownership,

    Stripping us of entitlement programs we bought: social security, Medicare, Medicaid and related programs we have paid for with word, faith and security of the United States government behind our contributions only to find our elected officials have given our money to foreign agents, and then tell us the government doesn’t have enough money for American Citizens while confiscating our property without due process to give proceeds of those sales of our assets to invading foreign agents in the country illegally,

    Imposing taxes on us without our consent, or representation, to provide benefits to invading foreign agents,

    Destruction of our environment and infrastructure: schools, roads, jails, police protection and all governmental functions that create social order, leaving us with inadequate healthy and wholesome water, air or land or a place to live causing many to die.

    Taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally forms of our governments, exciting domestic insurrection amongst us, and presenting divisive wedge issues to control us and has endeavored to bring on terrorists of the world, merciless murderers of children, whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

    In every stage of these egregious oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury and charges of vigilantism, racism, laziness, and other lies promoting welfare of foreign corporations and invading agents and exciting hatred and dissension amongst American Citizens to enhance control over us and destroy our constitutional freedoms.

    We therefore: betrayed American Citizens of the United States of America do in the name and by the authority of the good people of these United States declare that these United States are under attack and shall be liberated from despotic corrupt governance we now suffer from. We shall liberate it by the vote, one neighborhood and one city at a time. There will be no amnesty, quarter, compromise or surrender to those who violate American rule of law and national sovereignty regardless of nation of origin.

    We will take those measures necessary to assure security of our borders and compliance with rule of law to assure continuation of this form of government that provides the greatest level of individual freedom for the most diverse group of people of any government known. Corrupt greedy elitist politicians and corporate lobbyists will not destroy nor alter this unique experiment in human relations and governance based on rule of law where everyone is treated equally with unalienable rights endowed by their creator.

    We insist on immediate funding for enforcement of existing immigration legislation and confiscation of property of all those illegally hiring, aiding, abetting, assisting immigration law violations. We declare this voter revolution to begin now with the goal of liberating these United States from tyranny, corrupt governance and its rogue government officials that symbolizes all that is wrong with government in these United States of America.

    We will not allow our borders to be violated, nor will we be subjected to the tyrannical rule of international corporate elite. We declare and state this declaration of independence to be immediate and in effect at the moment of acceptance by those American Citizens who shall forward this document to their elected officials.

    He had me until it became an anti-immigration rant. The last three paragraphs need to be re-written.

    He named a lot of things and then it became just that. One grief. One rant.

    Too bad really. But then it was a neo-con pundit.

    I know we're not supposed to pick on spelling and grammar, but this one lost me very early on...first sentence has a grammatical error. This is the beginning of the 3rd sentence: "Please demonstrate your love for your freedom, liberty and those basic tenants of republican forms of representative government . . . " I just want to know how much rent those tenants pay.

    And how much could I earn as a proofreader for this rag--they clearly don't have one, so there's gotta be some $ in the budget somewhere.
