Politicians
Politics can be a blood sport. It is about power and it is important. Here are some of the players.
John Lilburne
QUOTE
John Lilburne (1614?–August 29, 1657), also known as Freeborn John, was an Agitator in England before, during and after the English Civil Wars of 1642–1650...... His works have been cited in opinions by the United States Supreme Court....Agitation
John Lilburne then began in earnest his campaign of agitation for freeborn rights, the rights that all Englishmen are born with, which are different from privileges bestowed by a monarch or a government. His enemies branded him as a Leveller but Lilburne responded that he was a "Leveller so-called." To him it was a pejorative label which he did not like. He called his supporters "Agitators." It was feared that "Levellers" wanted to level property rights, but Lilburne wanted to level human basic rights which he called "freeborn rights."....Written Constitution
Lilburne was instrumental in the writing of two more editions of this famous document. The second was An Agreement of the People of England, and the places therewith incorporated, for a secure and present peace, upon grounds of common right, freedom and safety2, was presented to Parliament on September 11, 1648 after amassing signatories including about a third of all Londoners...... They hoped that this document would be signed like a referendum so that it would become a written constitution for the English Republic. The late United States Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black,..... believed John Lilburne's constitutional work of 1649 was the basis for the basic rights contained in the U.S. Constitution.
UNQUOTE
He was a great man in his way although not well known. We owe him much. A written Constitution would have served England well although the American Constitution has failed for the moment due to monstrous corruption in politics.
Obama
Is a politician in America and running for president. He might be an American but he is NOT a 'natural born American' which the law requires of any president. That is why he is using a forged birth certificate. The main stream media are covering up for him. They are bent as well.
Tom Paine
QUOTE
Thomas Paine (Thetford, England, 29 January 1737 – 8 June 1809, New York City, USA) was a pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, and intellectual. Born in Great Britain, he lived in America, having migrated to the American colonies just in time to take part in the American Revolution, mainly as the author of the powerful, widely read pamphlet, Common Sense (1776), advocating independence for the American Colonies from the Kingdom of Great Britain and of The American Crisis, supporting the Revolution.
UNQUOTE
Triggering off the American Revolution is a major achievement. It would be nice to think that it would have done better as one of our colonies like Canada. The Rights of Man in Thetford is a pub where you can sink a pint in his honour.
Hal Turner's Farewell Speech
He is giving up on politics sadly. We need men who tell the truth. They did a hatchet job on him for being honest - see Hal Turner And The FBI
