Liberals dont really understand that what they sometimes call "rights" are not really rights at all, at least not in a way that makes logical sense when compared to something like freedom of speech.

Postive rights, as defined by the Left, require a third party to be enslaved.

You can’t have a right to housing, food, or medicine, without a carpenter, farmer, or doctoer having no right to refuse their services.

The “Rights” guaranteed by the Constitution-—predate the Constitution—they are Natural Rights from God.....(comes from Natural Law Theory which originated in Ancient Greece.)

Most “Rights” that the Democrats are for, are Satanic Rights-—ones that are unconstitutional-—for they come from Satan, not God.....the right to contraception, to sodomize others, to steal food and property from others through government (welfare). These are not “Rights”-—in fact, they are unconstitutional for they make slaves of others or promote Vice-—which is Unjust Laws.

All Just Laws have to be Reasoned-—all the laws Democrats posit are arbitrary—(unequal) and unconstitutional. You can’t have arbitrary laws be Just Law. As St. Thomas stated (and Founders/John Jay agreed) all Laws that cease to be Just are not laws.

US Constitutional rights are RECOGNIZED to have been endowed to all people, upon birth, by our Creator

as such, i woukd have all my rights ... while alone on a desert island

it’s tough to have rights that require the force capitulation of others... when there are no others.

progressive concept fails basic test

Conservatives don't seem to understand that there are different kinds of rights. From Webster's 1828 Dictionary:

Right: 10. Just claim; immunity; privilege. All men have a right to the secure enjoyment of life, personal safety, liberty and property. We deem the right of trial by jury invaluable, particularly in the case of crimes. Rights are natural, civil, political, religious, personal, and public.

“Negative Rights” are things that people cannot do to you, or cannot stop you from doing.

“Positive Rights” are things someone has give to you when you want them.

If you are living in a country with “positive rights” you are living in an authoritarian or totalitarian society, because the labor and property of others are being seized to provide these “rights.”
