It’s long been noted that if they are not God given, they can be abrogated by man...like a Pope, or a so-called President.

“On Sept. 25, Pope Francis will speak to the world leaders—most likely the largest number of assembled heads of state and government in history—as these leaders deliberate to adopt new Sustainable Development Goals for the coming generation”
Ah yes, just 3 days before the 4th blood red moon.

Another collectivist. It’s always for the greater good and they get to decided what that is. A wanna be lefty tyrant.

These POS loved to evoke their constitutional “rights” when they were chipping away at convention & tradition.

The founding documents were based on Christian worldview assumptions.
This guy is a humanist, seeking his own salvation through his advocacy and works.

Of course the founding documents of that nation once known as “the United States of America” are outmoded.
Apparently the territory is no longer governed by this code, and has since become pretty much “dead letter”. Shame, too, because when these rules were carried out in the spirit of which they were intended, it made for one of the most equitable and responsive governments administered for the benefit of humanity ever to grace this planet. And now it is just discarded like yesterday’s trash, to be supplanted by newer and much more sophisticated forms of tyranny.
The old forms of tyranny were at best clumsy and could only be applied intermittently, but now, with better means of snooping and collating of information, response time to dissident opinions is MUCH swifter and more devastating.
I wish the above were sarcasm, but it is not.

“In the United States,” Sachs writes, “we learn that the route to happiness lies in the rights of the individual."
Wrong. We learn that "freedom" lies in the rights of individuals. "Happiness" is a vague, subjective platitude incapable of definition and often only recognized in retrospect.

Life and liberty are not in conflict with justice and charity.
And as for America “being in thrall” to Liberty — that is an odd sort of servitude indeed.
