The RNC (Republican National Convention) has pretty much landed + from the reports that sprinkle casual conversations like paprika on deviled eggs prove that there is an obvious divide; those who don't give a shit, others who care just enough to seem 'in the know' for cocktail chat + then the rest who are obsessed like an 8 year old counting down for Christmas. Me? well let's just say that after researching content for the last series, it has come to my attention how our forefathers would be pretty disappointed with what we have all become.
Why? It's not my responsibility to tell anyone what to think but rather present the facts so that you can determine your own conclusion. What was the USA founded on? Read those original documents years after that 8th grade civics class... I mean REALLY read it... as if it were a letter from your boss or the terms on your mortgage.
As originally a colony of England, we abided by the English Bill of Rights: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/17th_century/england.asp
Then we weren't happy so we wrote + issued this: Declaration of Independence: http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm
After which, utilizing the English Bill of Rights as the structure, we wrote the American Bill of Rights: http://www.ushistory.org/documents/amendments.htm
