Endowed With What? By Whom?
---
Even the best of red eye flights, even red eye flights in first class, are still red eye flights. So don't expect much from me today; I just woke up from my post trip nap.
But here's a quick Independence Day post for you:
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.
--Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Who's going to tell us what a civil right is and what's not? Well, the people will.
--Massachusetts Governor, Harvard Law School graduate (and Christian), Mitt Romney, June 28, 2006
Regular readers of this blog know that, to me, it (and by "it" I mean everything) boils down to the now all-important war between libertarianism and majoritarianism in this country.
Partisan wars, policy wars, culture wars. They're all just fronts in the real war, between these two mutually exclusive and irreconcilable worldviews.
Which, on this day of days, should not even be a skirmish.
