Nothing to refute but to obfuscate with a generic phrase even the Bible uses to describe man.

What else do you have?

Indeed. I read the Declaration in a similar fashion: "all men" literally means all humans, not just those capable of overpowering others.

I hate when that happens, and now I just might have a glass of wine before bed. Hey, I've already been accused of drinking so I may as well fulfill that  :silly: :silly: :silly: Plus, I'm loving Diana: In Her Own Words on NatGeo right now. Not to thread highjack, but Charles is an ass!

The same as our Founders' including their sentiments about slavery that were struck out of the Declaration's draft.

Please be specific on what that is.

You mentioned being enslaved.


Does the word 'enslaved' appear in what you are referencing.  If it does, what does it mean?

But you've seen plenty of historical evidence that it is.  1,264,000 pieces of evidence.

Where in the Constitution can this be found?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

If you have no knowledge of the slavery portion of the Declaration's draft and why it was struck from the final doc I suggest you google (generic term, like you prefer) it. Otherwise, I'll not do your homework for you.

So you admit you do not know what being 'enslaved'means.

I thought so.

I know what it means. I am going to bed. I have to get up early to feed the monster.

Good night all.

then you have absolutely no basis to make the statement that you made in this thread as you cannot back up your definition.

Screw it. I'll be a bit more specific.

I have no redress.

With all due respect, do you realize that the Declaration of Independence is NOT a governing document?

And where would we be without it? Supreme Court decisions have been made based on it as well as other non-governing docs.

Indeed! And the people who rendered those decisions should have been impeached for making them!
