Came across this little video the other day. Pretty cool.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Founding Fathers made a music video about their feelings before penning the Declaration of Independence?
Wonder no more…

Half-way across the globe,
And we’re standing on new ground
Screaming ‘cross the waves
You can’t hear a sound
There’s no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea!
We’ve colonized America. We won’t stand for tyranny!
O king:
And its too late to apologize.
Its too late!
I said its too late to apologize
Its too late!
We’ve paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just wont do.
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true:
All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights!
Among these are life-liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness!
Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!
I said Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!
Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!
I said its too late apologize!
Its too late!
I said its too late to apologize! Yeah!
Its too late!
I said its too late to apologize, yeah!
Half-way across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground
Note: Music and video based on “Apologize” by One Republic, featuring Timbaland (2007)

Obviously done with some comic relief, but very moving at the same time. I think sometimes we forget what really happened in signing the Declaration. It was a huge moving away from such over baring limitation of liberties back then. I pray that our country realizes where the road we are traveling down will lead us. It seems further, and further away from the signing of the Declaration.
You and me both, Cass… and we’re not the only ones.
This isn’t JUST about ‘the democrats’ or ‘Obama’ or ‘GWB’ or ‘the republicans’… it’s about all of them, and a whole lot more. It’s a mentality that has permeated the US government that is tyrannical and overbearing… one that says ‘government controls everything’… and that’s the farthest thing from what the Founders wanted for us.

Hey, Thanks for this. I hope lots of people, especially the young see this and think again. Still too much Koolaid out there. This is no longer a Liberal Conservative issue, Republican, or Democrat – it’s an American issue! We need to find our way back to restoring our Constitutional freedoms before it is too late. I hope it isn’t too late already! God Bless America!
