The Preamble of the Declaration of Independence states:
"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."
So according to the philosophy of the founders of this country, its obvious that this country was founded on the principle that freedom was not something that is granted by a government, but is the birthright of every human being. If this is the basis for human life, and the values we as Americans hold dear, are we not hypocrites to deny those who desire the same freedoms we enjoy every day? I say that anyone who wishes to deny another of the freedoms stated in our most precious historic document is not worthy of those same freedoms in the first place.
