Obama Condemns the Founders and the Declaration of Independence at Town Hall Meeting
During CNN’s town hall meeting with President Obama concerning his Executive Orders on guns, he said the following:
Mark is Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords who represented Arizona's 8th congressional district and who was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head by Jared Lee Loughner.
Obama was referencing the lead up to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the eventual War for Independence and the Constitution. It was that Constitution that Obama used to run for President of the United States in 2008 and 2012. Part of that DNA is the Second Amendment and the First which there are almost no restrictions on "freedom of the press."
The irony of it all.
Yes, our nation’s founders were suspicious of unbridled political power. They were suspicious of an overbearing national government. All one has to do is read some of the Declaration of Independence. Consider its opening paragraph:
“What I
think Mark is alluding to is what I said earlier, this notion of a
conspiracy out there, and it gets wrapped up in concerns about the
Federal government. Now, there's a long history of that, that's in our
DNA, you know? The United States was born suspicious of some distant
authority...”

“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.”
President Obama, this
is America’s history, and it’s a history that created the greatest
nation in the world that millions of people from around the world have
given up almost everything to come here and participate in it.
Then there’s this:
At this point in time, we are beyond suspicious. We gave up suspicion a long time ago. The United States government and its representative three branches of government for decades have brought a wrecking ball to this nation’s financial stability and moral accountability.
Our debt is beyond compensation. The Supreme Court has redefined when life begins with Roe v. Wade (1973) and what marriage is with Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).
Our nation’s healthcare system has been coopted by the national government. I have to prove I have government-defined adequate health care or I’ll be fined. I got the letter in the mail yesterday.
Now the President is placing further restrictions on the Second Amendment in the “name of the children,” and the next day he vetoes a bill because it removes funding for the baby-killing business known as Planned Parenthood (sic).
“The
history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be
submitted to a candid world.”
You can read the list for yourself to see how current “repeated injuries and usurpations” are for our time and place.At this point in time, we are beyond suspicious.
