WaPo Editorial: On the Fourth, A Declaration We Still Must Live Up To

The Standard-Examiner carries the full text of the Declaration of Independence on its editorial page today, which is fitting and proper, as we again commence celebration of our American Independence Day:
As the Washington Post's editorial board reminds us this morning however, we as a nation "still struggle to live up to the Declaration of Independence":
The fly in the ointment? Even today, 235 years after our nation's founding, there are still some folks in the USA who haven't yet come to grips with the POLITICALLY RADICAL IDEA "... that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. . .” part.

Food for thought as we all set out to celebrate the 235th year of our nation's liberty.

Have a safe and sane holiday, folks!
