The founder were so on their game, enumerating inalienable rights, as they did.

The problem with the founders is they used the words : "among these are"... The liberals have now understood these words to mean -- yes, but they are NOT LIMITED TO these and now have expanded these rights.

Inalienable rights are not limited to what the founders spelled out. In fact, the right of a baby to be born is inalienable, though not explicitly said so in the Bill of Rights.

The founders didn't have a problem. They declared, as the basic law of our country, that there are rights that the government does bestow but is obligated to recognize.

What the left does is to demand recognition of created "rights," and assume authority over them. It a power play: the "plantation" method exposed.
