We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are [font color=red] life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness[/font]
I think this is the most familiar line in the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence.
However, those first three mentioned rights, the ones I highlighted, are the ones most overlooked and forgotten. People even ridicule those trying to pursue them.
They do so because it may not be the way they would do it. Or they do so because they have yet to try or they have failed in their run for the brass ring.
It is sad to see that there are some in this country that are so power mad and/or run down that they are ready to pounce and belittle those that try. It is also disheartening that there are members in the Government that are willing to help hurt the chances for the people of this country to chase those rights. Example is all the people hurt due to Tea Baggers that are just dying to make the poor and needy in this country hurt. They caused the close down of the government just to make it happen.
They should be giggly, doing so has hurt many as would the things that they wish to do to the poor of this country would/can.
It has been proven over and over again. That if this country as a whole wishes to fulfill these three rights, then we all must work together to reach it. Will these conservative ever learn?

But it will more than likely be something that will rip this country apart to do it.
