People often marvel at the Bolivarian revolution that put President Hugo Chavez Frias into power where he did so based upon the philosophies of Simon Bolivar. They marvel that ordinary people but people of great strength can take their country back from the elite. Then-candidate Gov. Howard Dean’s message was take back your country and those primary voters could have by making him our candidate in this past election. I want to remind the American people that they too have the same power where our founders stated so in the Declaration of Independence by including this clause within it:
"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."
Are these just meaningless words to many Americans now?
Many visit Washington, D.C. to gaze upon this sacred document as if it were an art exhibit, but rarely connect that these powerful words were put there for a specific reason. If there ever were a destructive government, we are seeing it before our very eyes. I could recite chapter and verse just how destructive this government really is, but it is your duty as American citizens to search that out for yourselves. All I ask of you right now as you read this piece is to read this clause over and over again then think what it really means.
Why do I want you to learn from this?
As you may know President Chavez' security detail was not allowed off the plane to protect him ... as every foreign leader deserves when visiting a country to conduct the business of his people. Bush brings an extensive protective detail to countries that he visits, is never denied that protection and is offered protection by host countries. Why are arrogant actions by this government accepted by the people? Are they failing to connect with the clause above?
