Who the [insert universal adjective here] does BHO think he is referring to the Bill of Rights as "negative rights?"
He terms our freedoms from government control (i.e., Liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, etc.), "negative rights," and our so-called freedoms of government control (i.e., welfare spending, government-provided healthcare, etc.), "positive rights."
I don't buy the theory, I'm just trying to explain it.
It's obvious to Freepers that the 'freedom' to get stuff from the government is the beginning of the end for the US as we have known it. Hopefully the undecideds will also come to understand this --and soon.
