"The Declaration of Independence stated, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are create equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.' Note the phrasing 'all men' (in this context meaning 'all humanity'). This idea of universal human rights was later enshrined in the Constitution. The 14th Amendment guarantees due process to all people, not just citizens, and not just white people.
"So if you are defending the idea of deporting people, or sending them off to some hell-hole in El Salvador, without a trial or any opportunity to defend themselves, then you do not love America. You do not understand America.”~ Stewart Margolis from his post 'Let's Get Real'

"You do not *understand* America.”

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
A great post from Mr Margolis.
