Didn't we go through this before back in the 70s?

The 1770s I mean.

The following are some of the crime of George III as given by the Declaration of Independence. See if they sound familiar.


•He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

•He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers

•He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

•For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

•For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

•For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

•He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
