Jul. 3rd, 2010 05:41 pmIf liberals have anything to offer (and being one, I know we do), it's found in the Declaration of Independence, right here:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."
"Men" here includes women. And "all" means all: white, black, yellow, and plaid; tall, short, wealthy, poor, disabled, or world-class athletes. It doesn't matter: we are all people together, and whatever lies the right may spout about "deserving" or "undeserving", "legal" or "illegal", or any of its dogwhistles about the inferiority of one race to another, we who believe otherwise must keep calling bullshit on them and their (dare I say it?) clearly unAmerican drivel.
( Behid the cut, a clip from the movie 1776, showing that the right's feelings haven't changed in 200-plus years. Or at least, the forty since this was made. )
