To whit, once the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America had fulfilled it purpose in justifying the rebellion against "duly constituted" authority, the document itself was basically run over with a steamroller, first when the US was incorporated under the Articles of Confederation … and then later under the Constitution.

Your point is well taken Gekko. The ideals set down on paper are goals and guidelines to strive for and work with, but the manipulators of words seldom do so with the same goals in mind. They guard the palace but it’s not supposed to be from us. The subject here is separating the rhetoric of the politician from the objective they were put in place for. That seems to take an ax and a shovel in most cases.
