I specifically looked it up in my pocket Constitution that I got from the Lions Club, before posting anything. I’ve got it right here by my computer. It’s got the Declaration of Independence printed before the Constitution, and it says “unalienable”. If there’s a typo, it’s from the Lions Club’s printing.

The point remains the same though: those rights were endowed by the Creator and they can’t be snuffed out simply because the authorities refuse to acknowledge them. The truth is the truth, even if nobody believes it.

The only rights besides, life, liberty, and the presuit of happiness that the Declaration of Independence declares or demonstrats “unalienable” is the right of revolution/secession.

While arms seem an obvious prerequisite to defend theses rights against tyrants disinclined to respect any rights are nether listed nor demonstrated perhaps merely because they were not in contest.

Butter, the man is a fool. Paying attention to him only makes us dumber. Disregard anything he has to say as not worthy of response. The only exception should be efforts to shoo him away.

This literary usage by Jefferson is correct, and has been remarked on for centuries, and leave it to this fool to attempt to correct what is actually on the document.

I wouldn't waste one nanosecond thinking anything he says might be correct. If it's coming from him, it is likely to be dead wrong. You just can't get that stupid without willful determination.
