Moral relativism ensnares the whose human race. Do not forget, the sun is made to shine upon the good and bad the same. Sometime people move between the two.

Please don’t misunderstand the point.

Of course we are by nature inclined to evil. Though our daily actions are changeable by force of will, our nature is not.

Free will is a gift, a small compartment of freedom within which we may flip the dial in either direction, according to our own personal choice.

But this is the internal reality and has nothing to do with external truth. Moral truths are external to us, and the nature of moral truths cannot be changed by our thoughts or our beliefs. This is what is meant by absolute morality, and absolute truth.

The absolute truths the founding fathers wrote about and derived our Constitution from are the rights we are granted by God. People who don’t like the founding fathers and their writings think we should distort and change the intentions of these great men.

I say the Constitutional protection against internal overthrow of our country—the Natural Born Citizen clause—should not be lowered.
