Independence from the chains of our founders

Independence from the chains of our founders The language and ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the preemble of the Constitution belied the reality of their makers. Language always betrays... the ideas of unalienable rights, of the equality of all (ahem) men, slipped free of the contraining definitions of those who wrote and signed them, stand in judgement of their failure to live up to them, and give to generations after a rallying cry to oppose our oppressors in the very name of our purported 'Fathers.'
