Our rights come from nature and gawd not from governments


 
What happened to the ****ing constitution asshole?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021110165

Hey moron, the Constitution was based on the premise that our rights come from GOD, not Gawd or Jebus or any other cute misspelling you faux intellects like to use. This is why the left hates religion so much, they know that if people believe that their rights come from God that people won't allow the government to swoop in and be the granter and taker of those rights. The whole idea of a constitution was not to give the government power but to limit what that government can do.

8. The Constitution doesn't give us our rights

It preserves the rights that we are born with. No one has to believe in a god in order to believe in natural born rights.

11. Dog whistle to the theocratic right.

Of which Ryan is one.

It wasn't a dog whistle, damn you people are stupid.  :banghead:

For the benefit of lurking primitives, who don't know shit from sand:

Quote
Dog-whistle politics, also known as the use of code words, is a type of political campaigning or speechmaking which employs coded language that appears to mean one thing to the general population but has a different or more specific meaning for a targeted subgroup of the audience. The term is invariably pejorative, and is used to refer both to messages with an intentional subtext, and those where the existence or intent of a secondary meaning is disputed. The term is an analogy to dog whistles, which are built in such a way that the high-frequency whistle is heard by dogs, but is inaudible to humans.

It's kind of like using "women's rights" as a kinder, gentler, euphemism for "abortion on demand."

9. I'm still gagging. I suppose it's too much to expect

one of the illustrative commentaters to ask Ryan for the roots of his 'knowledge' of our rights.
I want to learn the source from 'nature' (nature????) that has given us our rights. I no longer participate in religion but when I did I don't recall a rights list from gawd. I hope Biden can chew up ryan in the debates.

Shit in one hand, snappyturtle, and hope in the other, see which one fills up first.

Um, malaise?

Pssst. The constitution doesn't grant us any rights. It protects our rights from the government, i.e. "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

You know that, right?

But DUmmies don't want to hear this.  I have never quite figured out if they don't understand the concept or just choose to ignore it.  "A government big enought to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have." or something like that.

It's directly from the Declaration of Independence.

Quote
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

I picked up on it when I heard Ryan's speech this a.m., and I knew right away that it would drive the DUmmies nuts.

It explains much. No wonder they worship government. It's the source of all good things: almost exactly contrary to the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

If by "God" you happen to be referring to "Allah", the demon familiar of the Religion of Peace(TM), then for once in your miserable, drug-addled life, you are correct, DUmbshit.

It is funny that only the libs seem to hear these dog whistles, it's like they are making it up or something.
Then again it's always the libs that notice someone's skin color before anything else.

No, but they'd probably respond to it anyway, especially if you handed out free psych drugs when they came on demand. Just like Pavlov's dogs, so easily conditioned.

I'm not surprised that DUmmies misinterpret one of basic premises of the constitution.
This is just another reason why it is dangerous to give liberals/progressives/socialists any position of power.
