Meredith Shiner is currently a Yahoo News political reporter. Before spending three years at Roll Call, where she was considered "a leader in the newsroom," she toiled at the Politico for two years. Shiner is a graduate of Duke University, and "grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago."
I have provided these resume-level details to emphasize how utterly incomprehensible it is, as well as downright scary, that a woman with this kind of background and experience could have published, reacting to Ted Cruz's speech announcing his presidential candidacy, the following tweet (HT Instapundit):
So Meredith Shiner:
Is a journalist who has worked at two of the leading DC-based online establishment press entities.
Graduated from an elite university's school of journalism.
Appears to have grown up in relatively privileged socioeconomic and educational circumstances. Despite all of this, clearly has no idea that our country's Founders, in one of the most important intellectual and political breakthroughs in human history, asserted in the Declaration of Independece that our rights, including but not limited to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, come from God — not kings, not tyrants, and not governments.

Yo woman. “Our Creator” isn’t some casual sperm donor. Freaking idiot.
Marxists do not believe in God or God given rights. They only believe in the state and state given rights. You cannot have any semblance of faith or any smidgen of a rational brain to be a liberal.
Go back to Cuba you commie rat!!!
President Cruz here we come!!!!
revolt has begun!

The Framers chose their words carefully. Rights are from God and, thus, cannot be taken by Man.
Watching the current pResident step all over those divinely derived rights has been stomach wrenching.
must have been a big basket ball fan.
“Yahoo” Political Reporter Is Bizarre
Duke is elite? What, compared to Itawamba Community College or Penn Foster Career School?
There are God Given Rights, and there a Democrat Authorized and voted for rights. God gives many rights, the Democratic process has limited those rights
What is “Bizarre” is that she doesn't have the infinitesimal wit to realize that, even if you're an atheist, the facts show that nearly ALL of our early documents talk about our rights given to us from God.
What a maroon!
Send her back to a preschool history class....
....better make it pass/fail.
You do NOT want to be standing close to her on Judgment Day!
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is
no God.”

Well, expect a lot of screaming that the Constitution is secular. And by formulation it is. Maybe part of the reason for that is a sense of shame at how it accommodated chattel slavery, and they did not want to put a lot of references to God cheek-by-jowl to that. Men knew this was an ungodly compromise in that sense, although embodying great ideas in other senses.
It looks like they've started to allow random insane asylum inmates with single digit IQ’s to be admitted.
What the government gives the government can take away. Rights are part of man’s very nature. Go to a desert island. You don’t have to wait for a government to give you the right to speech or worship. They just are. Journalist are the stupidest of creatures.
Except of course she never said that here.
It’s bizarre that an employer does not summarily fire an utterly incompetent “professional” who broadcasts (ok, narrowcasts) her bedrock stupidity for public viewing.
in addition, the typical journalist will always go to the fallback.....”how could there be inalienable rights from God when there was slavery”......
Bottom line, yes bottom line, our Country is too divided to have any semblance of decency, morality or civility, let alone Christianity.
No that isn’t quitting or laying down, its stone cold reality. Either we stay the course racing downward to hell here in the US, we separate, or we go to war. Real War.
Upon opening them they discover God has not answered their prayer. The teacher then suggests they close their eyes and ask their Dear Leader for same.
Presto, the candy appears. The beginning of their indoctrination.
