Wisdom From the Founders: Fight the Government
The right to fight government is one of the basic rights humans have
“When a government betrays the people by amassing too much power and becoming tyrannical, people have no choice but to exercise their original right of self-defense—to fight the government.”—Alexander Hamilton
This is a great quote from Hamilton and something all Americans used to know. It is one of the founding principles of the United States and is exactly why the current Democratic Party hates America and our Founding Fathers so much. The Democrats want totalitarian government—that means a subservient, obedient people who will not fight the government, but will give total power to tyrants and do what they are told. That is the major battle being fought in American politics today—between those who believe what Hamilton said, and the Democratic Party who believes in Karl Marx and his totalitarian offspring.
Governments exist to protect the rights, the freedoms, of the people. That is in the founding document of America, the Declaration of Independence. Any government that abuses its purpose can be “altered” or “abolished.” Government comes from the people; the people can change it, actually, any time they want to. The people don’t exist to serve the government; the government exists to serve the people. Governments obviously want power and demand obedience; the people want freedom and a government that will protect those freedoms, not take them away. It is a dichotomy that has existed all through history, it is why the United States was born, and it is what the Democratic Party wants to take away from us now.
We were warned by our Founders. We aren’t paying attention very well nowadays.
