Do you really think the constitution gives us our rights? Our rights come from our creator. The Constitution limits government rights not individual rights. One of Madison's concerns in drafting the Bill of Rights was that those enumerated rights would become the ONLY protected rights. It appears that today even conservatives wish for a powerful federal government that restrains us within the narrow framework of the Bill of Rights.
Bump.

I cringe every time I hear some conservatives say that our legal rights are only the rights enumerated in the US Constitution.

Me too. So much for "smaller government". Or do they want a small government that only is interested in who people have sex with?

Who I have sex with is none of the gov'ts damn business as long as they are old enough, of the same species, and we both consented. And no, I'm not gay.
