[Romulus]

If we say it does, it does. We are the state.

And the source of all human rights, according to you. This is what passes for conservatism these days.

We have nothing further to discuss. Words fail me.

All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.

Sounds familiar

Well, since the crypto libertarians have decided to become abusive...

"Words fail me."

Apparently your little grey cells failed you first.

"And the source of all human rights, according to you."

Just to set the record straight, I am a practicing Catholic and hold that God is the source of human rights.

One human right God gives us, per the Declaration of Independence, is the right to establish government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to us shall seem most likely to effect our Safety and Happiness.

Your inability to deal with that is no part of conservatism.

"We have nothing further to discuss."

Just as well. Doesn't look like you're up to it.
