Extremely good read: New American Declaration - "what we're fighting for"

[glenn1]

A small sample below.... definitely worth a read.

Declaration Text


Preamble

AT TIMES it becomes necessary for a nation to defend itself through force of arms. Because war is a grave matter, involving the sacrifice and taking of precious human life, conscience demands that those who would wage the war state clearly the moral reasoning behind their actions, in order to make plain to one another, and to the world community, the principles they are defending.

We affirm five fundamental truths that pertain to all people without distinction:

1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

2. The basic subject of society is the human person, and the legitimate role of government is to protect and help to foster the conditions for human flourishing.

3. Human beings naturally desire to seek the truth about life's purpose and ultimate ends.

4. Freedom of conscience and religious freedom are inviolable rights of the human person.

5. Killing in the name of God is contrary to faith in God and is the greatest betrayal of the universality of religious faith.

We fight to defend ourselves and to defend these universal principles.

And "At times" pales in comparison to "when, in the course of"

<< I say we stick with the real declaration of inde. >>



I don't think this was supposed to be a replacement for the Declaration of Independence, just uses the style of the DoE in its writing style...
