July 4, 1776 was WARTIME.

One thing historians never mention about the Declaration of Independence is that it was written in the midst of a war in a city that would soon be occupied by enemy troops.

The Declaration of Independence was not an honest statement of what Jefferson or anybody else in America believed. It was a war document written for war purposes.

To start with, the Declaration blamed all of the colonists’ problems on “The King.” Every Signer of the Declaration had been raised under English law. No intelligent colonist, and certainly no Founding Father, thought the King could have done any of those things without the support of Parliament.

Why didn’t they mention Parliament? Because the Declaration of Independence was a WAR document, not an abstract statement of truth. The colonists’ best friends and their best hope was the pro-American minority in the British Parliament. So they did not blame Parliament.

No sane human being ever believed that “all men are created equal.” So why does the Declaration say that? Because it was a WAR document. “All men are created equal” and “Nature and Nature’s God” were appeals to French liberals who supported French intervention on the side of the colonists in the WAR that was going on.

French liberals were Rousseau fans and deists, hence the reference to “Nature and Nature’s God” and the statement “all men are created equal.”

While our Founding Fathers created a free country, those French liberals led their country into the bloody disaster and tyranny of the French Revolution. Crap like “all men are created equal” and “Nature and Nature’s God” led to that disaster.

When the WAR was over and independence was won, Americans wrote an objective document for THEMSELVES. It was called the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution did not say a word about “all mankind.” The Constitution of the United States declares what the only purpose of the United States of America was to be.

The Constitution of the United States did not say one word about “all mankind.” The Constitution of the United States did not say one word about freeing Iraq or saving Israel or the rights of illegal aliens. In fact, the Constitution said exactly the opposite. It declared that the only people for whom the United States would exist would be:

“We the People of the United States…for OURSELVES and OUR Posterity….”

The French Revolution was a bloody disaster. The crap about all mankind on which the French Revolution was based led France to conquer Europe in the name of Equality. It had nothing to do with American thought.

But New England abolitionists thought like French liberals. In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln substituted “all men are created equal” for the Preamble of the real Constitution. Leftists today love that “all mankind” crap. They used it to give a third of the world to Stalin and his allies after World War II. They use it today to legalize illegal aliens and fight Israel’s war in Iraq today.

This is not a quibble over words. This is a debate about the purpose of America.
