Ok, here is a question to which I can not seem to get an answer.
When was it, exactly, that the constitutional rights afforded the citizens of the United States become the pervue of the rest of the world by selective fiat ?
By example: Freedom of the press -- to Al Jeezera.
Civil judicial jurisdiction - of prisoners at GitMo
Drivers Licenses -- to terrorist infiltrators
Free legal help (taxpayer) - to US born traitors and seditionists.
The "left" virtually lives to extend the rights that our forefathers fought and died for to those [non-citizens]who would do us harm or only intend to "game the system". Every day there is a new news segment attempting to shame us into believeing that we "violated" "Fatwah Al Bomber"'s rights - in some non US hell-hole somewhere. What Gives? And more important -- how do we stop it, and correct it ?? Am I the only one that thinks one does not deserve -- and is not entitled to -- what one is unwilling to work for, or fight for, or pay taxes for.....
Rights are merely enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Rights are as integral to humanity as the pursuit of life, liberty and property. Your government may prevent you from arming yourself but you still have the Right. We enjoy only the Rights that we defend.
