INDEPENDENCE USA MONOLOGUE [Partial Satire]

• “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”  —Thomas Jefferson
• “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” —Ronald Reagan
• “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.” —Thomas Paine
• “The struggle for freedom is one of the most powerful forces in human history.” —Dwight D. Eisenhower
• “We will make America strong again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again, greater than ever before. Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens.” -- Donald John Trump

 
7-4-24, * -- Happy Fourth of July! It is perhaps the most joyful and encouraging Fourth of July since covid first appeared in 2020, in a thousand thousand fear-mongering headlines.
 
The problems early Americans faced in 1776 were very different from the problems we face today. For one thing, in those days Americans yearned to throw off the yoke of a white-haired, mentally confused ruler with serious memory problems given to impotent outbursts and hallucinations. One colorful anecdote holds that King George told Palace staff that cannibals ate his uncle, Baron Mosey.
 
Haha! The colonists’ situation was totally different from our modern configuration. We enjoy a government by president, which a wise Latina Supreme Court Justice insisted this week is actually a King. You probably think I’m making some kind of sly comparison here, but King Biden is nothing like King George, because King George could sometimes feed himself. So.
 
The truth is, the British feudal system the colonists rebelled against was the real problem, and it was vastly dissimilar to our Constitutional form of government. Under feudalism, King George cemented power by dishing out royal appointments, like baronies and knighthoods. “And soest thou now becomest Duke Nincompoop of Worcestor,” the King would say, and Bob’s your uncle, Simon “Dumb as a Rock” Jones would instantly become royalty, and would enjoy vast powers of ordering his friends and neighbors around and conducting official business like throwing that guy in jail who refused to keep his miniature poodle out of Simon’s yard that one time. And then Simon would get rich, of course, by taxing everybody senseless.
 
Fortunately, we have a system of checks and balances whereby the President cements power by appointing his cronies like Merrick Garland to high office, where they wield vast powers and settle scores with antivaxx soccer moms by siccing the FBI on them or auditing their taxes until they go crazy. “And soest thou shalt becomest General of Attorneys,” Biden would mumble, reading from his teleprompter, which is also completely distinct from the scroll or parchment or something that nearsighted King George used to stumblingly read from. And then Baron Garland of Attorneys gets rich, of course, just like Duke Nincompoop of Worcester, through taxing everybody senseless.
 
So our new system of federal government is totally different from that old system, and you can clearly see how much better our neo-feudal system is than that stupid feudal system the colonists dumped into Boston Harbor like so many overtaxed tea bags.
 
Of course, had the Founders known how the Federal Government and its executive agencies would one day mature into an oversized, byzantine, neo-feudal system, they probably would have jumped into Boston Harbor along with the tea and swam away.
 
So on this remarkable 2024 Day of Independence, let us pause to reflect how the Supreme Court, in its trifecta of agency-pruning decisions, just held the legal version of the Boston Tea Party, dumping decades of neo-feudal laws into the Potomac. Call it the Potomac Tea Party, a sort of declaration of independence from King Biden who, like King George, at this point probably wasn’t even told what happened since it would just make him cranky and hard to feed.
 
Four years ago, I invested a tremendous amount of time and treasure fighting with the government and advising citizens how to resist the cockamamy and contemptible rulings of their employer overlords, who were busily wielding federal government-fueled, neo-feudal powers to force workers to take shots [Covid vaccine] they didn’t want. Now, Fauci’s squawking chickens are noisily flying back to the coop, and a giant flock of tobacco-litigation-level of lawsuits over their asinine jab policies are starting to land right where we predicted.
 
I also regularly and often warned local government officials that their King George-levels of madness and overreach during the pandemic’s early days would soon result in their overused and arbitrary executive powers being miniaturized into gift-shop replicas. They ignored me. But that too has also played out exactly as I (and others) accurately predicted. Bad luck for big government.
 
During covid, Biden’s federal government flexed to its utmost strength, proving to even the lowest-information voter that it had too much power, and creating the predicate for the revolutionary reckoning that is currently assembling for duty.
 
Lord Acton famously observed that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Supreme Court’s immunity decision this week did not transform the presidency into a kingship. It did exactly the opposite. It tossed the de facto absolute immunity that presidents have long enjoyed out with the tea boxes, and replaced that monarchical standard with a careful Constitutional rubric for holding presidents accountable.
 
As in 1776, our 2024 revolution is just beginning.
 
Things are getting spicy, and our work has only just begun. But we are no longer playing defense, tossed around like tea boxes being loaded onto container ships. We are on offense now. Today, on this day of revolutionary independence we can celebrate not just faint optimistic signals but real progress. George Washington once said, “Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
 
Now get out there and rapidly blow up some fireworks with your friends and family. Happy 4th of July! I hope you patriotically enjoy this week of revolutionary progress and take the chance to prepare yourself for the next phase in the battle for freedom, a perpetual battle that never ends.

“The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America, 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.
 
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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. 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:

1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
3. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
4. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
5. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
6. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
7. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
8. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
9. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
10. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
11. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
12. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
13. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

• For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
• For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
• For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
• For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
• For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
• For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
• For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
• For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments
• For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
15. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
16. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
17. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
18. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
 
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
 
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
 
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

Proverbs 31:10-31
-- Matthew Henry Commentary: This is the description of a virtuous woman and mother. These attributes equally suit every age and nation. She esteems her husband and protects and nurtures her children. She can be trusted, she makes it her constant business to do her husband good. She does what she does, with all her power, and trifles not - her children call her blessed.
