We began as a nation with a clear formulation of the basic relationship between God, our rights as individuals, the government we created to secure those rights, and the prerequisites for any power exercised by our government.
Must be an extreme right winger. mentioning God!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident," our founders declared. "That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. . . ."
Unfair! Discrimination against atheist! Myrr is not going to like that.
But while our rights come from God, as our founders added, "governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed."
WOW! This guy is right of Falwell! What a novel idea!
So, unlike our inalienable rights, our laws are human creations that derive their moral authority from our consent to their enactment--informed consent given freely within our deliberative processes of self-government.
Informed Consent. Another anethma to the Pro choice movement.
Any who seek to wield the powers of government without the consent of the people, act unjustly.
Sounds like he is trashing the democrats filibuster! They are the minority, and yet attempt to wield the powers without the consent!
So who is this right wing nut job? First correct answer wins a free tour of the Constitution!
