Does this sound familiar?
"We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us."
"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments"
"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 imposing Taxes on us without our Consent"
"We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."
"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries."
No, it's not those right wingers and it's not even those evil Fox broadcasters. These are excerpts from the Declaration of Independence. The statements are made about the king of England.
I wonder if history is going to repeat itself?
