Charlton Heston - From My Cold Dead Hands full version

The time of reckoning is fast approaching..........

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

what I cant wear short sleeves

[ianjohnson1000]

Did he really believe there were perils facing US liberty? No wonder it gave license to every crackpot to go down to the gun store and blast away anyone they disagree with.  It was a tirade of nonsense but I was shocked to find I was only the 277th to access it. His hands are cold and dead but our American cousins are powerless to grasp away the guns of their sacred second amendment.

What a douche! His speech is so empty that makes one wants to laugh, except for a crowd of rednecks.

One of the greatest actors that ever lived. Until we see you again Chuck, may you rest in peace.
