I am very aware that long before the Rights of Man were proclaimed during the French Revolution, our own country was founded not only on a revolution that threw off a monarchy, but one that culminated with a Constitution and Bill of Rights that recognized that human rights are not some sort of privilege granted by a beneficent state but endowed by our Creator.
I fear that what is happening in the US is that we have imported ideas from Europe that are at odds with the founding principles of our Republic. We see in Europe, for example, that the State (especially in France and Germany) sets itself up against the Church. It would seem that the State not only wishes to void any contribution that the Church has made to Western culture but also sets itself up as an ultimate arbiter of human and civil rights. The US is tied at the waist to China and the Chinese know it. As our manufacturing sector sinks, theirs is rising. It should come as no surprise that Chinas totalitarian government is involved at some level with unethical human organ harvesting. This is a government that mowed down hundreds or thousands in the wake of the Tianamen Square incident years ago. It still insists on one child per woman, even at the cost of inducing abortion. The rise of irredentist Islam in many places of the world has brought into focus the role of religion in politics and economics. If people of faith are to be effective, they must show their integrity. This means integrating their religious principles into all areas of life: how they work, how they vote, what they buy, etc. Human rights are essential to any believing Christian. After all, Christ died for all men, didnt He?

All part of the New World Order. This has been planned for many years. That's why you have the EU. Next on the list will be the unification of Canada, U.S. and Mexico (just get rid of the borders). Following that will be the unification of the Middle East and then the Asian countries. If you watch what's going on in the Middle East today, a meeting is being set up between Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc. So it begins. It's difficult to unify Canada, the U.S. and Mexico with a super strong manufacturing sector as we have had in the past. They need to bring us down to their level, then it all fits together.
Of course to do this in the U.S. means nullifying our Constitution.
It will never happen. I don't even expect the EU to remain intact.
