    IOW, your higher power is completely imaginary and has no actual power.

    Yes! Let’s talk about “WHO” guarantees them!

    I contend unalienable rights are guaranteed by a power of “right” & “wrong” higher than any mental ability inherent in humankind. I contend that the founders in majority accepted & agreed on that concept/principle. I believe & find evidence that America is & was founded on the proposition that “all men are created equal & endowed by their “CREATOR” with “CERTAIN” unalienable rights.” If you know differently, I’m interested.
    Words. No God has ever enforced your "guarantee". That's always been up to us fallible humans.

    Yet there are many countries where those rights do not exist. Where is the guarantor of those rights?

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    I never made such a statement. Why lie about it? Did you start drinking early today?

    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    You really are one stupid fucktard.

    Jefferson = “life, liberty, pursuit of happiness = lie, dumbfuck.

    Patrick Henry hated Madison, stupid fuck, and did everything he could to keep him from being elected in Virginia. The only way Madison could muster enough support was to promise a Bill of Rights to the Anti-Federalists. A political tool, stupid fuck. Nothing more, nothing less. And it worked.

    Ignorant moron, do some fucking homework for once.

    Juries decide guilt. They don’t make laws.

    Name all the deists and agnostics who were founding fathers, go ahead, I'll wait.
