I hate to say it, but either conservatives have always been stupid, or Trump is making them act stupid. This was posted in a TEA Party group, and I left the following comment with no response. Unfortunately, it had already received many likes before I was able to blow it out of the water.

That any conservative would post this speaks to a vast sea of ignorance of America’s founding principles, and even the documents themselves. This is a famous line from the Declaration of Independence, a document you would think might be well-known among conservatives and TEA Party people. “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….”

Here’s what I wrote, with no response from anyone.

“If the rights mentioned in the Constitution don’t come from God and don’t apply to everyone on earth, then they come from men, and they can be taken away by men. Furthermore, this is a great argument for abortion, because citizens are defined as people born here. If you’re not born, you don’t have rights if this terrible argument were true. “
