"“We collectively believe and know, America is a promise … It is a promise of freedom and liberty...Not just some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence, that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Be clear, these rights were not bestowed upon us, they belong to us as Americans.”

Are we missing a right?

The L word I think, no not that one.

[Mik]

She obviously does not support the right to life.

[Doctor Phibes]

I always thought it said life, liberty and the pursuit of a penis, which was an oblique nod to your co-conspirators, the French.

Have democrats been forbidden to say that out loud?

"Hey @VP, It’s LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right to LIFE," Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted.

When you have to omit entirely one of the most integral parts of the Declaration of Independence in attempts to further your argument, said argument is immediately and objectively powerless," the Senate Working Group's Leslie Ann Robertson said.

"This point is obvious but when the ‘right to life’ blows up your message so bad you have to pretend it doesn’t exist then maybe your message isn’t very good," GOP operative Matt Whitlock said.

Nile Gardiner, former aide to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, sounded off as well, writing, "Kamala Harris clearly does not believe in the ‘right to life’."

Is the issue that she forgot Life? Or that she thought this was from the Declaration and not the Constitution? Or that she is trying to use Obama mannerisms to practice for her 2024 run?

Sorry, mannerisms was a sexist term.

I'll man her -isms. Amirite.

She was correctly referring to 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.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "

Followed by the airing of grievances.

She also eliminated our creator.

Well, Nietzsche pointed that out long ago, although to his credit he thought it was a terrible idea.
