GOP seems to have declared its independence from The Declaration of Independence.
"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."
Hard to do the above if their Creator's self-appointed representatives on Earth (e.g., Rick Santorum) believe that the only right a person has is to pack heat.
What unalienable right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness can be had without prioritizing food, shelter, clothing and healthcare over the enabling of unfettered Plutocratic Greed and gun toting vigilantes remains one of the secrets of the GOP Church.
Tea Party invocation of the Constitution in service of our "culture of addicted and self-medicated narcissists" (Cornell West) is Orwellian, to say the least.
