About one half of one per cent of all registered voters in the United States—ninety-six per cent of them likely to be white, a hundred per cent certain to live in Iowa or New Hampshire—will now exercise their inalienable, God-given, legally mandated right to choose the Presidential nominees of the two parties.

In 1776, this nation was founded on the basis of a bedrock belief in a revolutionary assumption: that all men are created equal and have the inalienable right to life, liberty and property; are entitled to live free of arbitrary rule; and, most important, are endowed with the right to govern themselves — and to take immediate action against despotism.

"They feel it's their inalienable right to have it, so they can post it to social media for all their friends to see," he wrote, noting that while Hillary Clinton would spend a full 10 minutes posing for photos with town hall attendees in the 2016 race (a time commitment that now feels rather quaint), Donald Trump was far more reluctant to mix closely with audience members.

John understood, as JFK understood, as Ronald Reagan understood, that part of what makes our country great is that our membership is based not on our bloodline, not on what we look like, what our last names are, not based on where our parents or grandparents came from, or how recently they arrived, but on adherence to a common creed: That all of us are created equal, and thou by our creator, certain inalienable rights.

"The basic requirements for peace are well known within the context of full implementation of the long overdue inalienable rights of the Palestinian people as per international law and UN resolutions, with an independent State of Palestine on the 1967 border, with East Jerusalem its capital and a just solution to all final status issues based on international law and the Arab Peace Initiative," he said, referring to a peace plan from 2002 proposed by Saudi Arabia.

But even if we accept his argument, which is based on the 27th accusation against King George III, this accusation is almost an afterthought compared with the central messages of the Declaration: that all people are created equal, that government is legitimate only to the extent that it is based on the consent of the governed, and that the people have the right to alter and abolish any form of government that is destructive of their inalienable rights.
