The basic premise of an indivisual right is that they don't trump each other. Otherwise that would involve someone initiating the use of force against another.

A "group" is not a person therefore it cannot have rights. A group of individuals can (and should) stand together to defend their rights but again those are no different then those of a solitary individual.

Going back to the original premise of this thread, the Constitution allows the government the coercive use of force to steal the wealth of it's citizens in order to print paper and press medal.

The government (and the majority that authorizes it) is STEALING my money and doing things with it that I don't want it to do. What's the difference between that a what a common thief does on the street? Oh wait, 51% of OTHER people says it's ok...and that somehow makes it right?

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO STEAL FROM ANYONE! Why is my point so unclear? That's the same logic when you can proclaim that a "right" to healthcare doesn't exist, it's taking money from one group (I can stop there) and giving it to another.

As for Muslims, this is the way I see it. I refuse to follow them, my head gets separated from my soldiers. Opposing this is simple. If I oppose the government I won't be much better off...Muslims try to bang down my door telling me to convert or die or the Feds bang down down my door telling me to pay up or go to prison. Yes there is a difference but my point remains that they are both violators of individual rights and those who say otherwise are just enabling them.

Raymann raymann raymann- how did this go from the issue of printing 'in God We Trust' in coins, which you objected to because you are a non beleiver and don't think anyone should have the right to express their faith- even the government, to the government stealing our money? Did I miss somethign along the way?

The majority of INDIVIDUALS i nthis country want htose words written on our currency- but it appears that those in the minority who don't follow God on't think that Christians hsould ask God's blessings on this nation and honor Him by printing in God we trust on our money- the government is doing things with our money that a majority of individuals do want- but you want your wantsa to trump our wants. The majority of poeple also belvieve the governments handling of maoney keeps the economy being maintained by peopel who have studied far more than we have, and thus know how to manage more better than we do.

Tell ya what- if you don't like that- just start printing your own money- without 'in God we Trust' of course. j/k http://sacredscoop.com
