Interesting story.
Words have import. Names can be Holy, at least in religion.
What of universally challenging statements, or claims, such as “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights”? Should they be deemed Holy, too?
The first ten amendments to the U.S.Constitution state the requirments for a group of people living free but with responsibility for themselves, defining the exercise of “free will” that the Hebrews felt so strongly about that they wrote a book and so are known today as “people of the book”. As a history of the Hebrews, the First Testament crystallizes the concept of righteous behavior.
How many governments, tyrannical Kings, and bloody dictatorships, have usurped those inalienable rights in order to acquire power for evil? Many have sought to disarm entire populations over the centuries, and there exists only one way to stop them from such efforts: rebellion.
I believe the answer lies within those ten amendments to our government’s Constitution, namely called out in the 2nd Amendment.
“How many governments, tyrannical Kings, and bloody dictatorships, have usurped those inalienable rights in order to acquire power for evil? Many have sought to disarm entire populations over the centuries, and there exists only one way to stop them from such efforts: rebellion.”
Can those who claim that they see no reason for citizens to have “assault rifles” be anything but either willfully ignorant of history or complicit in a conspiracy to disarm those who would be the last line of resistance to imposition of tyranny?
Russia, Germany, Japan and Iran were all briefly democracies before they were hijacked by gun-snatching totalitarians. Now we can add Egypt, Libya, and Iraq to the list.
For the next four years the US military will be fighting to make the world safe for secular socialist crony fascist governments in former Christian and “moderate” Muslim Brotherhood former Soviet-allied countries...except that Barry hasn’t realized that the Brotherhood is Islamist.
Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Code Pink’s participation in the Brotherhood-sponsored Gaza blockade-running boatlift shows how stupid these Alinski-commies are. The Brotherhood is conspiring to wipe them out down the road just as they are conspiring to co-opt the Brotherhood into happy world socialist government!
I believe that endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights” has attained the power of a prayerful incantation.
