From the day of our founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this Earth has rights, and dignity and matchless value because they bear the image of the maker of heaven and Earth.
Except the queers, 'cause they're immoral perverts.
Except for the homogenization and subsequent attack on all Muslims and people-who-look-like-Muslims across the globe.
Except for non-Christians - especially them athiest types - because fuck them, they're all going to hell after I murder them with this here assault weapon at the divine direction of my President and the Lord Almighty. Amen.
Except for the poor, 'cause they're lazy.
Except for that little period of our history we like to call "slavery".
Except for the women who were given the right to vote a century after the men, who continue to work double-days, who are marginalized by gendered wage disparities, whose rights have and are being eroded by the current administration.
Except for the Japanese internment camps in the 1940s.
Except that America has a freaking colonial history and is built on the subjugation and genocide of those heathen Natives.
Yeah, "every man and woman on this Earth has rights" except for all of that. Yay, freedom.
