Miz Norton, you are free.

Enjoy it.

Hate consumes.

Forgiveness releases anger.

Walk into the sun, and be grateful for that which you have been given.

Because your "rights" have been bestowed upon you without you having done anything, but complain.

I came across a young man complaining in a university hall. This was by accident, during Iraq II. He HATED living in the US. Two other young people were standing there, listening.

Walking back to my car the same way, I told one of the young people that I would not want one of my sons dying for that person. The reply came that they were encouraging the guy to find someplace he liked.

She’s never read the Declaration. She can’t read cursive.

Affirmative action never sleeps. That porch monkey probably makes more in a year than I do in ten. God bless America.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,...

When my children were young I attempted to explain to them certain abstract ideas (i.e. treat a firearm as if it was always loaded.) Having little success I came to realize that chillren' do not have the capacity to understand the abstract.

Norton also clearly doesn’t grasp the obvious distinction between being created equal by God and being treated equally by man.

or a principle in the ideal Platonic realm and this imperfect world

[Hugin]

We were not created equal because in 1776, July the 4th, I nor you nor any of us were born, nor was Dr. King born, so we were in slavery.

This moron apparently thinks Martin Luther King abolished slavery. She sounds like some of the people on Water's World. He was asking people who people on dollar bills were. He asked a few different black people about Lincoln, and they didn't know who it was. When he told them Lincoln, and asked them what he was famous for he got "beating the Nazis" and one who knew he was shot. None mentioned ending slavery.

All employment by others is slavery. Sometimes, slavery has been easier to endure than during other times. Sometimes, moral law regarding slavery was followed. Other times, not. The only way for one to get out of slavery is to produce for oneself.

There are even those who spite the lives lost for them in our Civil War.

Miz Norton, you are free.

On their Portraits album, the 5th Dimension sang a medley; The Declaration/A Change is Gonna Come/People Got to be Free. Listening to the recording sent chills down my spine. The Declaration is not a lie; it is an ideal that we are called to live up to.

Ironically that’s what Democrats said in 1860.
