The left will never understand American exceptionalism until they find out that our rights do come from God.
My rights come form God. Liberal/commie rights come form Satan.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Leftist revisionism.
Blasphemy!!!!!!
Too stupid even to be on TV news.
Besides the 18th and 22nd Amendments, what part of our Constitution comes from the Bible?
Wow, Cuomo just jettisoned the entire moral justification for the American Revolution.
Cuomo is a socialist just like his brother andy, governor of NYS.
“They come from man”
What shocking ignorance. If they come from man, they are not rights at all. They’re just arbitrary “permissions”, to be granted or revoked by those in power, be they in the majority or no.
I guess the people in North Korea would be criminals if they took up arms and overthrew their leaders. Especially if it could be determined that the majority of North Koreans prefer living in chains.
IF LAWS COME FROM MAN, POSITIVE RIGHTS DICTATE THAT MAN CAN OPPRESS HIS NEIGHBOR FOR ANY REASON, PROVIDED HE IS THE GOVERNMENT.
But who are liberals to understand this very basic point that stands at the foundation of American politics?
No, their alleged "rights" don't come from God, but are decreed, against the laws of nature and all that is held decent, by human tribunals.
The unalienable Rights we all have (yes, even Liberals) do.
If our rights come from man, then the homosexualists have no say. Majority rule.
No same sex marriages.
That was easy.
This is comically sad.
I make this argument with liberals all the time. It makes their head explode:
If you want to know if God gives you the right to do a thing, try to do it. If you are successful, he has given you the right to do it. However, there may be consequences. E.G. try to kill someone. Now jump in a lake with a rock tied to your ankle and try to breathe at the bottom. You’ll find that you have the God given right to do one, but not the other.
But what of rights men give me, and what gives them the authority to grant me such rights? And what is the penalty for violating man’s rules if I don’t get caught?
Chris, you are a fool. If you believe that your “rights” come from ‘man’, you have just acknowledged that a “man” can also take them from you!
That's worse than anything Brian Williams did, IMHO.
“Maybe Mr. Cuomo flunked elementary civics. The opening sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence clearly affirms:”
The SCOTUS has moved away from basing decisions on the Declaration of Independence and now makes up their own laws by inventing their own living Constitution.
“Cuomo blurted out:Our rights do not come from God, your honor, and you know that. They come from man...”
Translated that means our rights come from Government.
Spoken like a true Marxist.
Pray America is waking
