The Law of Nature states that "might equals right", and not truth and justice.

So please dont give me the thing when you clearly failed to grasp the flaw in your own beliefs.

Im sorry but the constutution give you no right, none, you need to restudy the constitution

The constution tells the government what they cant do to the people. It has nothing to do with right giving from government to the people. its under theunderstanding of gods law and that the governemt is the guess not the ruler. That why its starts with "we the people" we the people are the sumpreme ruler and government must apply by what they cant do

like for example, freedom of speech, its not telling the people , government gives you freedom of speech, its telling government, you cant go there. freedom of speech is gods law

No shortage of local governments have all sorts of codes that limit what people can do on their private property and/ or charge fees for permits and/ or regulate who can perform the work. It's a bipartisan as it gets.

Its the price we pay for living in a civilized society, we don't view it as tyranny. If you don't like the rules you have choices.

In order to have rights ceded back to you (as the Constitution allegedly does) one must first consent to be governed.

Read your Bastiat. It will do you wonders.

Go check out the thread about the F-35; I've already triggered a couple of the flag-humping NPCs over there.

I got, in order: "Move to Somalia," and "Taxes are for the greater good." They're all so programmed.
