The Declaration of Independence says when government fails the people have the right to replace it. Well New York State government has failed and the people have the right indeed the people have the the people have the obligation to act.

When government disappears it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone other interests will take their place.

Look I think the worst case scenario is obvious. I think first of all it doesn't work for very long. It's an unstable government that raises taxes and destroys the image we're building for Canada as a strong place to invest.

Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.

Our goal is to displace the entrenched powers in Washington restore the rightful balance between the state and federal government.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country make sure al-Qaeda didn't come back and make sure the Taliban wasn't resurging. It didn't work out.

When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria you've got to be prepared as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan to become the government and I'm not sure any country either the United States or I don't hear of anyone else who's willing to take on that responsibility.

The problem with leaderless uprisings taking over is that you don't always know what you get at the other end. If you are not careful you could replace a bad government with one much worse!

We need to understand that we as citizens and as a government in any community throughout this country have no more important obligation than to educate those who are going to replace us.
