Time to pull out the quote that says it all. How much clearer can it be than what is in bold?

Obama "clearly agreed with me at the time that a shift in constitutional thinking from a rights-based discourse to one that centered [on] responsibility and duties ... would be a good thing," West told Politico. "Partly because of those conversations, I don't find it surprising at all that Sen. Obama's speeches are often marked by calls to spark a sense of responsibility, rather than a sense of grievance."
--OBAMA KEPT LAW REVIEW BALANCED

Discussing responsibilities which come with rights is a good thing, but not in the dangerous context suggested above.

To: Protect the Bill of Rights

Without responsibility there can be no individual rights. Rights and responsibility are forever linked. It’s why liberals want to remove you of all responsibility, for then, you will have no rights.
