The Time Has Come For A New Declaration Of Independents

Freedom Outpost

Matthew P. Dec

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the American people informed the British that they were no longer recognized as their leadership. This meant that they no longer considered themselves as dependents upon the British to establish the rule of law or commerce, and set themselves to be independents to make their own rule of law and establish their own commerce.

Some of the stated reasons for this endeavor were revealed in John Hancock‘s speech after the Boston Massacre, which was said to have “sparked the Revolution.”

…as though they thought it not enough to violate our civil rights, they endeavored to deprive us of the enjoyment of our religious privileges, to vitiate our morals, and thereby render us deserving of destruction. Hence, the rude din of arms which broke in upon your solemn devotions in your temples, on that day hallowed by heaven, and set apart by God himself for his peculiar worship. Hence, impious oaths and blasphemies so often tortured your unaccustomed ear. Hence, all the arts which idleness and luxury could invent were used to betray our youth of one sex into extravagance and effeminacy, and of the other to infamy and ruin; and did they not succeed but too well? Did not a reverence for religion sensibly decay? Did not our infants almost learn to lisp out curses before they knew their horrid import? Did not our youth forget they were Americans, and, regardless of the admonitions of the wise and aged, servilely copy from their tyrants those vices which finally must overthrow the empire of Great Britain? And must I be compelled to acknowledge that even the noblest, fairest, part of all the lower creation did not entirely escape the cursed snare…?

On January 8, 2014, a Gallop poll revealed that the majority of Americans consider themselves to be Independents. The percentages of the poll were 31% Democrat, 25% Republican, and a whopping 42% Independent!

Personally, I believe that it will climb higher.

Why? It is because I’ve done a lot of polling on the “street.” When I informed people that my opinion of the government consisted of : In the 15th century, a man was born by the name of Niccolo Machiavelli. His last name became synonymous with political corruption and manipulation of the masses to achieve political aims (primarily for self- gratification at the expense of the People) . One of his formulas for maintaining such an attainment of Despotic status among the People was as follows (paraphrased):
