declarationism 

The legal and moral philosophy in the United States of America which proclaims that the first law enacted by the American Congress is the Declaration of Independence and that the principles set forth within this document are legally the defining factor for all aspects of American government. Declarationism holds the perception that all people are entitled to dignity through Natural-Divine Law, which guarantees the rights to Equality, Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Government by Consent (or just consent). Declarationism also recognizes that these rights belong to all people, not just U.S. Citizens.

Divinity, God, is recognized as existing yet encompasses and transcends the perceptions of the world's religions, including Atheism (i.e. all hold parts of the same truth.) Thus "God" is the force that causes things to exist rather it be by Intelligent Design Theory, Big Bang Theory, Innate Intelligence or other means.

Both the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written using Declarationism.

Desperation Debating

A move during an argument or discussion whereby a person (almost always a woman) has absolutely no comeback and knows in a fair fight they're beaten, forcing them into a totally nonsensical, unrelated Hail Mary response. This strategy occurs when the person (almost always a woman) either realizes the other person is right and it's best to try to throw them off or when they're simply an idiot.

Fred calmly explained to his wife Mandy that her continued credit card expenditures at high end department stores would likely threaten the family's ability to pay their bills, and definitely end any chance of sending their children to college. Mandy, calling on the crown jewel of Desperation Debating replied, "Yeah? Well you have a small dick!
