Hillary Clinton's Running Mate, Democrat Senator Tim Kaine: Your Rights Don't Come from God, They're Granted by the Government At Its Pleasure, and Christians Saying Otherwise Are Iranian Religious Fanatics

Say, remember when they all used to pretend to go to church and once in a while pretended to give glory to God?

I knew they were lying, of course, but I think I liked the lying better than the truth.

Even if you're secular, the idea that rights derive from God is a very attractive one. It's an alternate way of saying these rights are innate -- inborn, possessed since birth simply as part of the patrimony of being a human being -- and therefore inviolate.

As a somewhat famous Declaration put it:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

It is slightly different to invoke God as the source of these rights, but the gist of it, whether you're religious or secular, is the same: The government does not grant these rights as it chooses, these rights are innate and inviolable, and therefore the government may not steal away these rights, even if it finds them deeply inconvenient.

Adding God into the mix helps secure them, because people will tend to physically fight if someone attempts to steal away God-given rights, and that's a positive thing when it comes to your most basic, fundamental political rights.

Tim Kaine, and all other Democrats, do not want to acknowledge God because they are, whether they realize it or not, Satanists. But the practical reason they want to contradict the Founding Father's own statement that these rights derive from God is because they seek to undo these rights, so they argue that they can increase or decrease your rights as easily as they can increase or decrease the top marginal income tax rates. God's got nothing to do with it, you see, so you have no argument against the state stripping you of your rights.

The Declaration and Constitution are a covenant, and agreement by which the people consent to be governed, and if the terms of that covenant are violated, then the consent to be governed is withdrawn and we may ignore it and physically oppose it.

Otherwise, the government can just alter the terms of our agreement at its own self-interested whim.


Kaine goes even further, and declares that anyone who disagrees and believes that rights derive from God and are therefore inviolable, no matter how much a transitory government wants to violate them, is the equivalent of an Allah-besotted mullah or terrorist in Iran.

And of course Kaine rejects the idea that if the government steals away these rights -- that is, that it becomes "destructive to these ends" of securing liberty -- then that government has forfeited its legitimacy and may justifiably be rebelled against.

The government owns you. It owns you, it owns your children, it owns your souls, it owns your children's souls, and you just have to accept that, Peasant.

Well, this has certainly been clarifying.


Ted Cruz rebutted him:

Thanks to Smell the Glove for alerting me to that.

How is everyone on this wonderful Thursday? I'm on day three of my fast and day two was pretty easy.
