He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.
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.
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.
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.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with
manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the
consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior
to the Civil power.
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:
Yep, George is an asshole!
Lu either is discovering in his dotage what every schoolboy of a
certain age learned in the fifth grade *or* he's taking a night U.S.
history course via correspondence. What a thrill for him.
A bit of irony on parallels in history, along with a quotation from a
document most Americans have never read in toto sets Harry off. As
usual, he attacks the messenger, and ignores the message. He is indeed
the master of obfuscation. WAFA.
Speak for yourself, s.f.b. *This* American read the document in question
in grammar school.
As for attacking the messenger, well, you are so deserving...yet another
right-wing chunka polluting rec.boats .
