"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson said that. He owned slaves for his entire life, but he had something on that point. It seems that a tyrant now exists across the Atlantic. Queen Victoria, little old Vicky who has reigned for maybe just a bit too long? She is clearly not well. Shall I read excerpts from her last statement to this body? Quote ."A man's freedom ends when he chooses to infringe upon the God-given rights of another man." Agreed, which is what the South is doing to our Negro brethren. But yet who is their ally, who is the one that would drag them kicking and screaming into war and destruction simply because it's fun? Why, that would be Vicky herself. Another quote, " If a Nation is to be Free like a man, then a Nation must also abide by the Law like a man." Agreed, which is curious because Vicky ignores all diplomatic law and decorum and declares war and blockades a nation who has yet to declare war on her. I would go on, but the smell of bull dung from this document offends my olfactory senses so badly I can no longer stand having it this close to my face!

That is just two of many hypocritical statements the government of the Queen have issued in the past year. I say the Queen and all the men of Parliament should be taken care of. It is not wrong to say in the slightest that we here in America pine for the days of Cromwell. The people of Great Britain cannot abide by a government that ignores conventional wisdom, sense, and decency and attaches itself to a group of slavers and villains, a government that tramples over the rights of its people, that gives away land for seemingly no reason other than fun. Yes, Great Britain's tree of liberty has grown old and dead. It is time for some fresh blood to liven things up.
