I would have agreed with your first sentence -- all men are created equal, not all citizens -- but have been struck by how many of the conservatives in my Facebook feed reject that premise. If you're not a citizen, f*ck you and you have no rights. Also, freedom comes from those who serve in our military, and the rest of us don't appreciate that.
