It appears that we have finally reached that tipping point, where nearly everything from this point forward is likely to be viewed by voters as impacting them individually and personally — and that impact will probably not be applauded. Each new thing will be an irritant.
To paraphrase Larry the Cable Guy, I don’t care who you are — you have to admit that Thomas Jefferson certainly had a way with words. In this one short section from the Declaration of Independence, he not only describes the duty of citizens to oust an oppressive, despotic government, but identifies the major reason why it hasn’t happened already. Take another look at what is arguably the key phrase in the paragraph cited above:
… accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
Under George III, the accumulation of abuses hit a tipping point that moved Americans from the “suffer [evil], while evils are sufferable” to viewing those abuses as intolerable.
Under Barack Obama, and those of a similar mind in subordinate positions, such as Eric Holder, Michael Bloomberg, and others, the abuses which we have suffered have accumulated to the same point we were at in 1776. They can no longer be tolerated. We can not afford, as a nation, a continuance of such violations of the underpinning of our democratic republic, the Constitution.
