Robert,
I did not misunderstood, I earlier said that after
this election the argument of that he was not
representative for US is not valid. This is what
democracy is all about. He is elected now and
he represent USA.
Sigh. . . On this we agree.
The ones who do not agree
should accept and support US, at least in
theory.
Ah, but that, honored sir, is not an American attitude. As an
American, I not only have the right to disagree with my government, to
petition it for redress, but also, according to Abraham Lincoln, the
right to overthrow it:
"Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of
the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the
United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the
courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men
who pervert the Constitution."
also:
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who
inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government,
they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or
exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
"Resistence to tyrants is obedience to God"
and:
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must
make our selection between
economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.
If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in
our drink, in our necessities
and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings
and our creeds...our people..
must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of
fifteen of these to the
government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being
insufficient to afford us
bread, we must live..
We have not time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to
account, but be glad to
obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the
necks of our fellow suffers.
Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship
of estates called theirs, but
held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with
penury, obscurity and exile..private
fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance.
This is the tendancy of all human governments. A departure from
principle becomes a
precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the
bulk of society is reduced to
mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for
sinning and suffering...
And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt.
Taxation follows that, and in it's train
wretchedness and oppression."
also this dreadful statement:
"And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to
the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a
century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to
time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
So I will oppose what is going on here with every breath of my
conservative soul! Now I do not condone violence, nor would I take up
arms, nor advocate others to do so, but the principle of standing up
to oppression remains alive in the blood of every patriotic American;
especially if the oppression originates in the government that is
supposed to represent us.
Personally I respect the opposition and the
difficult position they are in. However, I talked
about the general hate of USA that I see in
development. I do not hate Americans, I am
only the messenger.
I live as a guest in someone else's country, and I've seen the
development of hatred to which you refer for quite some time. Singer
Pat Benatar once wrote in a song about the Vietnam war: "As nations
we're divided, but as people we are one."
