Quote from nyxtrader:

Have you ever wondered what happened to those men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from the wounds or the hardship of the Revolutionary War.
What kind of men were they? Twenty four were attorneys and jurist. Eleven were merchants; nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means and well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death, if they were captured. They signed, and they pledged their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor.
These were not wild eyed, rabble rousing ruffians; they were soft spoken men of means and educated. They had security but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight and unwavering, they pledged;
"For the support of this declaration with the firm reliance on the protection of the Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor." They gave us an Independent America! The question is can we keep it?

More and more of our freedoms are being eroded everyday and we are fed other news to blind us what our government is doing; most fall into one of the two categories; to dumb to realize or just don't care.

Food for thought.
And to think it all started over-what was it, basically a property owners tax, a stamp duty or something?

If king george hadn't been such a greedy bastard, who knows what might have happened. The commonwealth of the united states?

"My pilgrimage has led me to the call for morality and ethics in government. During our history, we've gone through many traumatic periods in which we almost lost confidence in all forms of government. But the problem was not necessarily the form of government, but the ambtions and moral blindness of some of those in power. The kinds of government and nation has will be determinded by the kinds of eithics and morality that underlie the political structure. But it will also depend on the intergrity we demand of those in leadership. Government will never be better than the men and women who have given their lives to it"

Please pray for America and America's political leaders. I fear that we are taking a HUGE step further into socialism with our government's "bail out" of failed institutions at the "tax payers expense". While I do not have all the answers but I do have common sense and I do know that we must not reward greedy and corrupt CEO's and failed financial institutions whose self serving bad policies has brought our nation into a financial difficulty. It is past time for each of us to let our leaders know by phone calls, email, and letters just how we feel about their actions. And we must, as God's people, take the teaching of God's word into the voting booths with us. Question..How does the candidates you're voting for stand on the issues God clearly condemns in his word? Find out! Don't vote for a person because of your party affiliation, vote according to biblical principles.

In your first passage you quote sensible words, then in the second passage you basically speak for acting in accordance to radicalism and biblical meaning...

That is just a dichotomy, where you quote of doing the right thing fighting corruption but then ensue by corrupting your interpretation activism on others... pressuring them to act in accordance with your belief interpretation.

What kind of bullshit is that?

My pilgrimage led me to leave the world. I call on all to follow me.
