I Protest!

Those who say we are making too big a deal of it, would say so if it were mentioned in passing, so let us feel free to ignore them and make a big deal of it.

I vehemently disagree with the President when he says (by way of omission) that we do not derive our rights from God. We were made by God and our rights come from him. Rights are not a social construct. Rights are not a logical nicety. Significantly, rights do not come from any sort of governmental activity. Rights are against government. One would not expect Obama, a die-hard Statist, to agree with our nation's founders in this. Please ignore the whirring sound as they spin in their graves, and note the proper quotation:

"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."

One could wish they had included "Property" in there, but apparently they gave us too much credit.
