“All men women and others are created equal”
Fixed it.
..I got this on yesterdays thread. LOL
Just the title of the article, what opposition to the Declaration would imply.
Sorry. My brain must be mush this morning or maybe I have seen too many make America Mexico hats.
I get it now. Very clever. And after you explained it to me I actually got a laugh
Thanks for your patiend
No problem, it’s always useful to get feedback. I really don’t want to live up to my tagline.
Thin skinned America haters...
Well then, I guess they want to shut down Sunday Schools, because the Bible was written "during a time in history when slavery was prevalent."
The ABOLITION of slavery happened during a time when slavery was prevalent. Perhaps we should roll that back also? Logic hurts sometimes.
I wonder if she ever just might realize that her job exists only because of that document...
On the spiritual plane we are all equal: sinners in desperate need of Jesus and His redemptive work of propitiation on the Cross.
That was one brave man. He has it right; we should fear God, NOT man.
Then they should never learn about the 13th and 14th amendments nor the 19th.
And, in addition to this, it was the courts that conferred enslavement onto Casor; granted, this was long before the Declaration of Independence, but I think that the founders were anticipating the repudiation of that travesty when they wrote the Declaration... it's too bad that the Constitution didn't abolish slavery, but the "3/5ths compromise" was indeed something that forestalled the civil war long enough for the Constitutional government to be adopted. (And it was our grave misfortune that the intervening time also had the institution intertwined into State's rights, leading to the conquest of the confederated states which, IMO, started the ball rolling on the tyrannical thought that the federal government is superior in every way to the States, turning the States into slaves of the federal government.)
Yep. Totally agree. Passing the slavery buck only made things worse.
I am pretty sure that was not Jefferson’s point.
Blacks started black slavery when they sold their African brothers to the Arab slave traders.
Blacks continued it in the south. There were thousands of blacks who were slave owners, more than 3,000 black slave owners in New Orleans alone.
Our country has perpetuated the problem with its welfare programs that result in the proliferation of the least motivated and the least productive.
Blacks never like to ask: “Where did we get all those blacks slaves?”
That’s right: From black slave wranglers!
It doesn't matter because that fact overrides his point; why? because without Jesus everything is moot, useless, futile… death.
Only in the light of God does anything we do have real purpose, and that includes both nation-building (or separation) and attempting to obtain justice — which was Jefferson's point. That our first founding document places this in the forefront and builds its case for separation from Britain on that truth, making it foundational to the argument, is a good place to start and quite likely the reason it's stood the test of time so well.
