Are all men are created equal?

We Don't Need More Prisons; We Need More Morgues


Criminals are mutated enemies of the human race, so it doesn't apply to them. It's like saying that soldiers convicted of treason should still get veterans' benefits.
Agreed. If the Capitol police had shot every Insurrectionist coming up the Capitol steps, We, the People would have less prisoners.
 
It's common knowledge that the US Declaration was writing to the King of Britain.

The fact that Jefferson was deeply involved in the drafting of Virginia's Declaration of Rights, and his full throated support for the French Revolution are iron clad evidence Jefferson was ideologically committed in principle to the idea of universal natural rights. It wasn't just an act for the benefit of George III.

You can sneer down your nose at Jefferson you want, but by 18th century standards, the Enlightenment project of universal rights Jefferson hitched his wagon to were absolutely radical.
Agreed on all points.

Also notice that George Mason is an unsung hero whose contribution to both the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Declaration of Independence is greatly under appreciated.

Mason drafted Virginia Declaration of Rights
Part of his responsibility involved drafting the Virginia Declaration of Rights. In part at the insistence of James Madison, the Virginia declaration came to include a strong guarantee of religious liberty (and not simply religious toleration as Mason had first proposed) that was similar to the free exercise clause later included in the First Amendment. It also contained a provision protecting freedom of the press, although it did not include a comparable protection for freedom of speech. Thomas Jefferson borrowed from and refined Mason’s assertion that “all men are born equally free and independent” when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
 
So YOU get to choose who?

He’s a sock. Imagine him with one on each hand….talking to each other. LOL

All socks are dipshits.

I wonder how many socks are pedos since they always have something to hide? :thinking:

Yes. At least while they were in the act of criminally assaulting police.

Agreed on all points.

You must have an extra chromosome or some shit. And you post about "pedo" way too much not to be overly interested in that.

True, not much of history can be judged by today's standards.
 
“We hold these truths to be self evident… that all men are created equal.”

Do you believe this is true?

No. If you're born the child of a Queens, NY millionaire you can collude with Russia while running for president, try to extort Ukraine to make your opponent seem dirty, lie about a stolen election, attack your own country, steal top secret documents and - face zero consequences for your crimes.

Had you or I done any of that, we'd have been in jail 2 years ago.

Somehow Trump created this image of being ridiculously wealthy and invincible. A group of easily suggestible Americans fell for it, and it became true. The invisibility part, not the wealth is easily suggestive of people hold tight to a falsehood once they have embraced it.

It was the same way as the Iraq war. The minute the thrall is over. They abandon the idea in droves.

Thomas Jefferson was making a philosophical statement in that Declaration

Equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are Nature's law or God's law, which exist independently of man's law, exists independently of the opinions of kings, monarchs, or the popular will.

That is to say that natural law exists by virtue of us simply being human, regardless if the civil authorities, government, or popular opinion act on it or acknowledge it.
