Though I realize this might sound like I’m splitting hairs here, I really don’t believe I am.

Your rights can’t be taken away from you. You can be restrained from exercising those rights, but they remain yours. Your rights come from your Creator.

The reason I make this distinction is because rights are like ideas, they’re not physical. Like ideas, you can’t “kill” rights. And because they can’t be taken away, one can continue to fight to exercise your rights, even while they’re being denied.

To: MarkL

agreed, indeed it is this very assertion that our rights come from our Creator and not kings or political hack trash...
it is this assertion that makes America an exceptional nation in the modern world

and why Obama and Hillary and Pelosi hate it

Its “too damned Biblical” for them
they would prefer getting us away from God and that means taking away our God-given rights

or trying to, as per your note.

we agree. thanks
