Well worth a read, this one.

The author clearly sets out what should be the terms of response to government intervention in the people’s rights; namely that government’s role is to preserve the right (ie., avoid interference in any form), not dictate it’s terms and conditions.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

In Congress, July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independance

I can find nothing in our founding documents - unlike libtards - that guarantees a "Right" to any particular goods or services or guaranteed success. There is of course the 14th Amendment (much debated and argued in court) about granting "Equal" Protection under the law. Not being an attorney I cannot comment on where that stands - as a layman I would say there are more rights granted by the Fed Gov to Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, Women, atheists, DemonRATS, etc. than to white religious conservatives.
