Not really.

What right to life does an executed man have? Or what about a drowning man? Will the ocean hear his cries that he has a right to live?

Liberty is never an inborn right- it always comes with a price, usually a big one. The Founders knew that.

And the right to "pursue happiness" is really empty anyway- you can pursue happiness at any time, under any circumstances- it doesn't mean that you'll catch it.

Most of this cribbed from Heinlein, but very much true.

I was countering the Nazi claim that the Untermenschen should be killed, in an act of "mercy" of course, for who would want to laugh and cry as a retarded individual? 'Tis better to just smother these "useless eaters" so that the Ubermenschen, the Supermen, are not encumbered with their subhuman presence, eh?

Don't you get tired of being wrong. The Decl. of Independence says that liberty is an inborn right - from God! "...endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty..." Care to re-think?
