re: #126 Obdicut

His Pavlovian reaction was that he he reflexively typed “GOP!” to the mere mention of a Creator and the Founders

The Constitution is the HOW, not the WHY
The Constitution is the rulebook for our form of government.
The Declaration is the why. It’s our statement of WHY we are setting up a separate government that has rights given to us by a Creator. Rights that no King or Priest or President can change.
The Declaration gives the flowchart of power.
1-Creator(who gives us our rights)
2-We the People
3-Government.
Why did they do this?
To forever prevent the King,Priest,President from taking away out rights.
And just to make damn sure, The Founders put the 2nd Amendment in there.
