This "great nation" has done all those things those countries are guilty of when it saw fit and conveniently forgets as soon as convenient. The fact that we don't teach it in high school history doesn't make it the same as being "it hasn't happened". The very fact that you can put the US into a fundamentally different category shows the success of this propaganda. Does that make us as bad as them now? No, but that is a relative measure that needs to be looked at in context. I think that is all X is saying.

This seems obvious. What is the basis for these "natural rights"? I think it is okay to question these words and truth of the Founding Fathers words. We should question all things like this and make sure we don't create some sort of cult-like following of our government that is not really rational or defendable.
