Declaration of Independence (From Liberals)

We hold these truths — about liberals — to be self-evident.

(Page 2 of 2)

For superseding our own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever, enacting law from the bench, without the consent of the governed.

They have excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and have enabled the emergence on our shores of merciless Islamist savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

They have given appeasement to our enemies by protecting them with mock trials, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States.

They have plundered our private property, ravaged our educational system, disparaged our history, and demoralized the very lives of our people by discouraging public worship of the almighty and merciful Sovereign of the universe.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A party whose character is thus marked by every act which may define tyranny, is therefore unfit to participate in the governance of a free and moral people.

Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our Republican brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their moderates to extend their agenda over us. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We may someday, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation and hold them, as we hold liberals; enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the Conservatives of the United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these red states, solemnly publish and declare, that we are, and of right ought to be, free and independent from liberals; that we are absolved from all cooperation with the Democratic Party, and that all political connection between them and us, is and ought to be, totally dissolved.

And that as a free and independent people, we have full power to levy war, pursue peace through victory, worship God, and to do all other acts and things which the United States was founded to do.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
