Gee, No one here notices we used to have OPEN immigration…
So, we arbitrarily decided, Well, that’s all the foreigners we want… We had 99 years of OPEN immigration, where unless you were deemed a danger or drain to society, you are in… Unfortunately we changed that, and started creating RACIST laws for immigration… in 1882 we pretty much banned Chinese from immigrating, this lasted till 1943… Yes I’m proud to be an American, and YES this country’s immigration is broke, and YES there are more pressing issues… Ideally, we would stop being a racist country and stop forcing other countries to accept the same government policies we have… We liberated Iraq because of oil fields, it was a financial decision… We are telling Egypt to deal with their own problem because? I guess we don’t have much of a need for Ful here…
Bottom line is, our government has created the hate many countries have for us, and yet, the citizens of this country are the ones who are punished…
Maybe some of you need to re-read something…
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.
Now, Lets Dissect this…
We hold these truths to be self-evident…. Basically means, We believe this to be true, without the need for proof…
that all men are created equal…. Well, I will hope you understand this part…
that they are endowed by their Creator…. I would like to note, this says CREATOR, not god, not goddess, not chirst, not mother, not father, I personally think this wording was chosen to be ambiguous for the whole, separation of church and state…
with Certain unalienable Rights… Per Wikipedia, since it’s better worded than I can manage “inalienable rights, are considered to be self-evident and universal. They are not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government.” Meaning, its a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…. Life, self explanatory… Liberty, means you have the RIGHT to behave unto one’s own personal responsibility and FREE WILL… And, pursuit of happiness, well, heck, that’s just an easy one… Grants you the right to pursue something that makes you happy, baring harming others (personal responsibility anyone?)
Now, why do we need to fight over something that was spelled out pretty clearly 235+ years ago?
