Yesterday over 400 years ago, Guy Fawkes and his merry band of Catholics attempted to blow up Parliament and King James the First. This was no mere anarchist attack, but a segment of the population that was being oppressed rising up against their corrupt king and "representatives". Before Guy Fawkes and company could enact their scheme, they were uncovered and stopped.
La dee da, some people think. But not Thomas Jefferson. This controversial act of patriotism by Guy Fawkes led directly to Jefferson's statement that the citizens of a country have not the option, but the responsibility and duty to over throw an oppressive government, just as our revolutionary army did.
Every person not living under an authoritarian government (communism, a monarchy, theocracy, oligarchy, or dictatorship) should remember, remember the fifth of November and what it means to the free people of the world.
IMAO news feed. Hooray.
