Not to put too fine a point on the matter, but the assertion that “life” is one of, indeed the first in rank of our inalienable rights, is stated in the Declaration of Independence, which is actually the founding document of the American Republic, and not in the Constitution, the purpose of which is to describe the manner in which the Republic is to be governed.
That being said, there is no reason to expect the mind of Obamessiah to have been steeped, in his childhood years, in the circumstances of the founding of the Great American Experiment, or in American civics. Even children born in the U. S. or one of its territories during the past half century or so are not very well taught in such matters.
Excellent points. I am one born in the last half century!
