Should another party attempt to stop you from accessing your unalienable (or natural) rights they are guilty of a crime, oppression, tyranny, or all of the above.

Governments exist to resolve competing claims with regard to rights. It is so easy to extend a claim as a protection of right that such conflict is inevitable. This is why we have statutes to define those boundaries. To assert that one can go through life without conflict with the rights of another, unalienable or otherwise, is to descend to demagoguery.

Excellent article.

>> For example, you do not have an unalienable (or natural) right to marry or have sex with whomever you want ... those activities requires consent from another party.

This guy wasted a lot of time on the necessary, but well understood aspect of consent.

The majority of Western civilization will, for the foreseeable future, not concern itself with the private sexual behavior of consenting adults.

The real “debate” should address the issue of law that forces citizens to service and support homosexual behavior. And also law that force citizens to participate in the killing of nascent, human life.

>> “The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.” -John Locke

That makes a lot of sense.

Law that promotes “homosexual marriage” is a device to persecute those that refuse to service and support homosexual behavior.

The country is gone.

A few years/months/weeks ago my fellow conservatives were lecturing me on the need to “compromise” with liberals.

And now these same people are worried.....
