Dear Mr. Touré, It's a conservative thing. You wouldn't understand.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s also an American thing. He wouldn’t understand that either.

Interesting that the ole boy will One Day stand before God and account for his statement.

[Raycpa]

For those who believe in God, our rights come from God. For those who don’t believe, our rights come from guns.

[HiTech RedNeck]

For Toure it is a perpetual battle of the egos. That’s really sad.

This “Toure” idiot is a latecomer to the racist poverty-pimp parade. He’s a Jesse-Al wanna-be playing the same old tired race act many years after it was all used up. Only MSNBC would hire such a racist hack (although I’ve also seen him on CNN). He needs to be told he’s an uneducated race-pimp who should STFU.

I think this needs to be clarified for people who may be Atheists. Even if you don’t believe in God at all, your freedom depends upon this idea that your rights come with your being. Otherwise, you are dependent upon some other fallible human being to tell you what you may or may not do and this means that YOU really have no rights at all. Any right that is not part of your very existence, that may be given or taken away is not a real right, rather it is just the opinion and force of some other human being. Seems simple enough.

So where does Mr. Toure’ Syndrome think rights come from?

[HiTech RedNeck]

he’d probably say something like “society.”

[Happy Rain]

I don't know about the so-called “Rights” to special privileges because you bugger boys or dance around in vagina costumes—but Natural Law and God were confirmed over and over by the Founders as the foundations for the real rights listed in the Bill of Rights.

It's a miracle Leftists don't rupture themselves they try so hard to be stupid.

[TigersEye]

Ah, so they are really ‘privileges’ not ‘rights’ and they can be revoked at will by a ruler, bureaucracy or rule of the majority. What could possibly go wrong? /s

[SkyDancer]

I think that Mr. Touré has a syndrome.

[spodefly]

When the foundational principles of a nation are not shared by by its citizens, you got problems that an election isn’t going to fix.

[Random_User_250]

So I’m guessing that if the government passed a new law saying women and minorities have no rights, he’d have no cause for complaint. Because if government can grant rights it can also take them away.

After all, doesn’t any legislature have the right to repeal its own laws? Of course it does.

[fhayek]

What this idiot doesn’t seem to realize is that if rights originate from men, they can be taken away by men.

[newnhdad]

I thought a Toure was the latest 2-door from Kia.

[Gene Eric]

MSNBC: the platform for assholes.

[Ann Archy]

Poor Soul, Toure. Must be very sad to go thru life not thinking about God.

[varon]

He needs to be told he’s an uneducated race-pimp who should STFU.

OK.

HEY TOURE! Your'e an uneducated race-pimp, so STFU!!!
