When In The Course of Human Events...

"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." -- The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
These are powerful and truthful words; words that officially launched a war; words that birthed a nation. These words, written by Thomas Jefferson and crafted with the collaboration of Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, brought forth to the world a country based on the philosophies of Cicero, Aristotle, Hobbes, Burke and Locke to name but a few; philosophies derived of a comprehensive understanding of Natural Law.
Over the years, and because of our adherence to the words and philosophies of these great men, we have evolved into a nation that serves as a "shining beacon" of liberty and freedom for all the oppressed of the world. The United States of America, throughout its existence, has served as the vehicle of hope for tens of millions who exist and have existed under the oppression of the tyrannical everywhere in the world.
Yet today, as people lay dead and dying at the hands of Islamist despots, simply because they dared to quest for freedom, the leaders of our nation -- the elected caretakers of the beacon of liberty and freedom -- stand indifferent to a call for solidarity; they exist deaf to the pleas for help. As pro-freedom protesters take their lives in their hands in pursuit of liberty, the leader of the free world extends a hand in friendship to the very Islamist tyrants whose hands are stained with the blood of the innocent.
In Honduras, the military, judiciary and Honduran congress removed that country's president because he was attempting to illegally extend his tenure in office -- attempting a bloodless coup -- in usurpation of that country's constitution. The people of Honduras -- in the form of that country's military, judiciary and congress -- stood up to tyranny by exorcising the Marxist cancer that threatened that nation's sovereignty. Yet, the leader of the free world -- and his secretary of state -- sided with the tyrannical, calling for the reinstatement of ousted despot who tried to destroy their democracy.
Today, it would seem, the United States has seated as president a man who possesses no value for the tenets of Natural Law; who sees no duty to maintain the beacon of freedom and liberty; and who purposely and deliberately turns a deaf ear to the cries for freedom from every corner of the Earth in deference to the will of the one-world philosophy of neo-Marxism.
"When in the course of human events..."
"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."
