AR2 Handbook for the Second American Revolution

The document approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, was more than just a Declaration of Independence. It was a proclamation of the rightful role of government. It was a justification for rebellion against illegitimate authority. It was a declaration of war. So is this document. In a tragic case of historical irony, the very institution which was established to fight an illegitimate government has become one. The very government which was established to defend God-given, unalienable rights has chosen to deny God and alienate these rights from its people. And the very document, the Declaration of Independence, which was drafted to justify the establishment of this independent government will now judge that same government. The verdict: “Guilty.” The sentence? “[W]henever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government….” If you are expecting an endorsement of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or any other political party, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a call to embrace the philosophy of the left or of the right, you will be surprised. If you think you will be urged to adopt the tenants of conservatism or liberalism, think again. If you expect to hear a rehash of tired old ideas, you are wrong. In the pages to follow, you will read things that you have never read nor heard before. They truly are revolutionary. This is very appropriate. In fact, it is necessary. America was born in revolution, and it will be re-born in revolution. The ineffectual philosophies, parties, programs, and personalities of today have proven themselves irrelevant to our needs. These, after all, are what (and who) have caused our problems. They have nothing to offer us but more of the same woe and grief that they have engendered. It is high time that they be deposited on the ash heap of history.
