You raise a very interesting point, Mr. Rivera, why don’t you lead a charge to repeal part of the Bill or Rights?
You know, I just realized that the Creator is kind of like the cable company in this matter of Natural Rights.
Meaning that there isn't a menu or smorgasbord of Natural Rights that you can pick and choose, kind of like you don't get to pick and choose the basic channels the cable company gives you. The Creator endowed you just like it says in the Declaration, and it is what it is.
Now, if Geraldo and his ilk want to drop their Natural Rights "cable" because they object to the Second Amendment Channel, then they're welcome to do that. They can go hang out with the Islamists, who also don't believe in Natural Rights.
