I am talking about Natural Law Theory which presupposes a God—it is cause and effect—it is common sense. It is stupid to think something which has so much design is created by nothing. Our government was founded by people who revered much of Locke’s theories along with Montesquieu and a few others. It is the basis of all our law and legal system. It is stated in the Founding Documents that our rights come from God. That they are unalienable. Every literate person can determine what exactly is a “right” if they read the Constitution, which, of course, no Democrats ever do. They go by the Communist Manifesto.
The terms “ the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them” were not just arbitrarily thrown into the Declaration. It was the fundamental beliefs of the Founding Fathers and from all the theory which formed the Constitution.
Yes, laws are passed by legislatures but they have to be inline with Natural Law Theory to be Just Law as our Founders described it. You can’t have men saying you can shoot children just as the Founders knew that the ability to have a majority vote did NOT make something right. In fact, they loathed democracies and thought they were evil because there were no restraints on power. Minorities would be on the losing end with no rights ever.
There is right and wrong—and they based our Constitution on Natural Law and Revelation to determine what was right and wrong. That is the bases of our legal system—It was until Holmes and the Fabians said that you can remove morality from law. That is nonsense, according to the intent of our Founding Fathers but the Postmoderns want to destroy “rights” from God so they can utilize “the end justifies the means”. Such evil philosophy that is anathema to the United States and incompatible with the Constitution.
None of that means that there is any Natural Law other than what men say it is. In Islamic nations they believe sharia law is “natural” law. It all sounds nice until the complexities of the modern world intervene or different religions try and impose their views on non-believers. Then the theory collapses.
