So, you believe this to apply to all persons then?
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
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,

Yeah, I checked the Founding Documents, and I can't find that anywhere.
Yah...I don't think God asks to see your passport.

But he does check your record on sins and transgressions yes?

Pending on what religious derivative you subscribe to, would it not be fair to suppose that within this context, religion doesnt see all people as entirely equal
and therefore face the prospect of being denied entry into heaven? Sounds similar to denying free organ transplants.

Does that really add up to anything??

I have not argued that they should recieve free organ transplants...only that they be acknowledged as fellow human beings and not "dehumanized" in the debate.
THAT is what Macman too issue with...You as well?

This is not that hard to follow. Me thinks you are just trying to be clever to avoid answering it.
If our Freedoms are for all persons, then it is not limited to US Citizens.
If it is not limited to US Citizens, then it applies to citizens in foreign countries.
How else do those people get those freedoms, except by the US taking over.

That does not mean free body parts, sorry it doesn't.
Nice spin though.

Mr. Alinksy, please stop trying to change terms and definitions.
It is not dehumanizing to require someone to be a citizen of a sovereign country to receive benefits for said citizens.

Declaring a truth is not the same as invading another country and demanding they recognize it?

*Sigh* Yeah, I understand you will do everything, except address my statement.
Do our rights apply to everyone?
You stated yes.
So, when the US presses this in other countries, please, don't cry about it.
But, since you are incorrect, it really doesn't matter.
If the Founding Fathers believed this One World idea, they would not have fought for a Sovereign Country.
