Well, that comment I don't understand.

How is championing Rights Orwellian?

[JohnGalt]

You stated your belief, contrary to my belief, that rights are universal, they exist like gravity or water.

However, these rights, when violated, still exist.

What practical value is a right that merely exists in the abstract but has no earthly value? Your rights are strictly theoretical and cannot be proved; in Western traditions if a theory cannot be falsified (i.e. the opposite can not be argued) then its not a theory.
