We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (but probably not women) might be created equal, that their Leaders are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are the right to restrict Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Presidents are blessed by God, deriving their just powers from the Literal interpretation of the Holy Bible.
