When did the Founding Fathers’ intend to “grant rights” to the people? The Founding Fathers just enumerated the rights people already had as granted by their Creator. And listed the limited power the government was granted by the people.
Only a Marxist asshat(which McGovern is) would believe in a government granting rights to its’ people.
The government does not “grant” us rights. It only affirms the rights we have by nature.
But Jim McGovern believes everything we have comes from the hand of the state rather than from God.
If you believe that, it makes perfect sense to take from some to give to others.
That by the way, was never the position of the Founding Fathers.
