"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- Santayana

I can't help but notice that your tagline is very inconsistent with your views which totally contradict the principles upon which our Republic was founded.

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. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, [emphasis added is mine]
-- The Declaration of Independence

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
-- The Constitution of the United States

It is abundantly clear that the Founding Fathers declared our independence AND formed our constitutional republic to protect life.

You mean the principles the federal government was limited to very specific issues and the rest was left to the states? Or the SoCon Huckabee myth that most of the Framers were ministers and what they really meant to establish was a federal government that would deal with every moral concern the citizens of the separate and sovereign states may face?

Those words still stir passion in my soul. Do they do the same for you, or are they just dusty words on old parchment? How many of us read those words, and are encouraged to defend those principles? Can I get a show of hands?
