Very good article.

This is why the left feels it can attack all rights, because they don’t recognize them as God given.

For example, the 2nd amendment was originally understood as a God given right.

“The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the “high powers” delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.’ A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power.” [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)]

The left believes all rights are conferred by the government, and can be taken away or given as the government imposes itself on the people.

There are no God given rights.
