Reflection.. on all men being created equal.
I want to preface this note with one disclaimer... this is in no way,
shape or form yet another George W. Bush justification. This clearly comes
from the mind of markbureau!
I was walking down Peachtree Street in Atlanta today (I am still
there, by the way) coming from the Credit Union heading for a bite to
eat when this, for lack of a better term, toothless, filthy bum
approached me and just shouted .... "End the War, Stamp out Bush".
Not one hundred yards from there was another person, who can only be
described as, yes... another toothless, filthy bum (only this one was
a she).
I didn't respond to either of them. I held my tongue.
I figured what's the use?, but I did speculate that if I was not an
arrogant, egotistical ass, I would have politely asked either one of
them...
"Do you know why you have right to stand on this corner and shout at
the top of your lungs like that?". With that, something hit me.. and this is where I
will ask all opponents of the effort in Iraq to ponder this...
Leave the politics out of it. Leave the borders of nations out of
it. Just take this one line from a very important American document
into consideration when pondering ....
"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."
So, let's ponder... and really I don't have the answers. I am just
asking you to consider this....
If you believe in the Declaration of Independence, specifically the
second paragraph, more specifically the one line from that second
paragraph highlighted above....
then how can you sit, or stand there and say that the Liberation of a
people in shackles, stifled by a tyrranical maniac was not the right
thing to do?
This Declaration, the document that gave birth to this great nation,
otherwise known as the melting pot, does not say that all American
men are created equal. It doesn't say that all Christian, or Deist
men or created equal.
That document does not say that all white men are created equal. It
says "ALL MEN"...
Were it not for minority of people who took it upon themselves to
free this land from a tyrranical government, we would not have this
document, nor would this country exist today (in the context in which
it exists). So, puttpolitics aside. Putting the cries of "war
for oil aside", and the "No WMD" cries aside... if all men are created
equal, then there is no national segregation. There is no ethnical
segregation, nor a theological separation. So... whose job is it to
liberate people to help them retrieve the rights they came into this
world owning? It is the job of anyone and everyone who wishes to
help them retrieve what they had lost.
Don't you think????

"Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny, or private self defense."
~ John Adams ~
Maybe THIS will refresh your memory.
