I support Equal Rights.
The US always guaranteed equal rights
I do NOT believe this place was founded upon "Christian values"
This was never "Gods chosen land"
Most of The founding fathers were diests AND pushed for separation of church and state. Which is the best decision and should stay that way. America is referred to a "melting pot" of different cultures and religions -something we all should be proud of and learn from.
But Good old 'Murica...
BTW-Thomas Jefferson owned 175 slaves

"Nor was Jefferson a particularly kind master. He sometimes punished slaves by selling them away from their families and friends, a retaliation that was incomprehensibly cruel even at the time. A proponent of humane criminal codes for whites, he advocated harsh, almost barbaric, punishments for slaves and free blacks. Known for expansive views of citizenship, he proposed legislation to make emancipated blacks “outlaws” in America, the land of their birth. Opposed to the idea of royal or noble blood, he proposed expelling from Virginia the children of white women and black men. Jefferson also dodged opportunities to undermine slavery or promote racial equality. As a state legislator he blocked consideration of a law that might have eventually ended slavery in the state.
