You think we’re in a rebellious mood today? It’s nothing compared to how mad we were in 1776.

Ever read the Declaration of Independence? Reading it in fifth-grade history class is good, but that’s not what I mean. Do yourself a favor this weekend … Read it word for word. It will make today’s political battles seem tame by comparison.
.
And guess what … our Founding Fathers’ grievances against the king were the same grievances we have against Washington today:

• He erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people;

• He suspended our laws;

• He refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people;

• He obstructed the Administration of Justice;

• He imposed Taxes on us without our Consent.

All you have to do is substitute “Washington” for “King,” and there you have it: today’s rebellion against the political elite.

Then an Army ranger, just back from Afghanistan, read the last line: we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
