Are
Conservatives Getting Set To Start A Civil
War?

I don't believe
that the average conservative wants to start a civil war.
However, we will uphold the U.S. Constitution, which upholds the
truths found in the Declaration of Independence. (For info on the
U.S. Constitution, see here: http://www.debrajmsmith.com/usframe.html)
The
Declaration of Independence states:
"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."
England was treating the
colonists as slaves, working for the king of England. He had first
dibs on anything they made and purchased, and the colonists were not
being represented, in anyway to stop the king's thievery. Does this
sound familiar? If you really believe that our government, today,
adequately represents us, go fill up your gas tank!
Most of
Americans are being taxed into bankruptcy. We are being severely
taxed on our gas for our cars, our gas for our homes, our electric,
our phones, our cell phones, our health insurance, our property, our
homes, our water, our clothing, our household goods, most everything
we purchase; and the government is seeking to add a tax on our car
mileage and quite literally the air we breath! There are the fees we
have to pay; building permits fees, business license fees, driving
license fees, hunting license fees; we cannot even catch a fish
without paying our government a fee in this country! Worse than
anything, is that we cannot earn a dog-gone living without having to
pay our country INCOME TAXES! I could go on and on here, but
my point is clearly made. Our government is out of
control.
When our founding fathers declared our independence
from England, it was England that began the war. Many do not realize
this fact. Think about it. The war was fought on our soil. English
soldiers came over here. We revolted, they, then attacked us. And
that is what most likely will happen here, some day, if we cannot
turn our government around without a revolt.
The liberal
government's "equality" is the conservative citizen's loss of
freedom. The liberal government wants to redistribute wealth, so
that everyone has equal. That is socialism. That is "Freedom Lost."
I cannot believe we ever let it get as far as it has already
gotten!
"How long till conservatives do as our founding
fathers did and stop allowing our current government's destruction
of our people?" What have we got, if freedom is lost? Nothing!
Though, I do not believe conservatives will begin a civil
war; I do believe that conservatives will one day say, "Enough," and
revolt. I believe it will be in the form of not paying taxes and
then protecting our homes, from government invasions and arrests
that the government would seek.
If a war comes to be, it
will not be the conservatives who start the war. It will be the
conservatives who revolt. It will be the liberal government that
fires the first shots.
