You are no better at reading my mind than you are my posts.
you said they don't agree with where our rights come from right? So where do they think they come from? They can only come from one of 2 places. Our creator or the government. Which one do you subscribe to?

If one doesn't believe that they come from our "creator" then that is as anti-American as you can get.

The word "creator" is not found anywhere in the Constitution either.

Why is it that right wingers seem pathologically incapable of counting higher than 2? Those are not the only options.

I believe they come from community consensus.

Your opinion is noted.

It is not respected, but it is noted.

SourD,

your "rights" come from your ability to ensure them for yourself. There are no actual "rights".

Yes there are. The ones you ensure for yourself, like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Yes you did say that. Why do you like to spin in cirlcles and talk nonsense?

Community consensus??? LMAO! What is that? Is that some fictional body you just made up?
Please tell us who gives us our rights if it isn't our creator or government. Your BS answer of community consensus is pure ideological BS.

Do those rights apply to everyone? I ask because there seems to be a disconnect when it came to Native Americans and Blacks.
