Read his op-ed. Nowhere does he defend or retract his most asinine comment from the hearing, “The senator insisted that such an idea is “what the Iranian government believes.
Plus clearly laws on voting , like voting by mail are, allowing for ballot harvesting etc are designed to abrogate his high sounding appeal to rule of law. Was Honduras one of the birthplaces of “liberation theology?”

Tim Kaine would be one walking to the end of the Santa Monica Pier to catch the mothership behind the Hal Bop comet. He is a man looking for a cult.

And I’ve been saying for the last 10 months or so that I’m still gobsmacked that the Dems managed to chose someone even more weird than Kaine to be their VP candidate in 2024 (Walz). Think on that for a minute. Just wow.

How many clot shots did Kaine get, that disarranged his mind? Kaine is a vaxxx true believer. As in children getting 65 vaxxx, per the CDC schedule that reigned for years.

Senator Tim Kaine has been an outspoken advocate for vaccines and public health, consistently emphasizing the importance of vaccination programs in the United States. Kaine has publicly criticized officials and public figures who promote vaccine skepticism, notably opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment to lead the Department of Health and Human Services due to Kennedy’s long record of spreading conspiracy theories about vaccine safety. Kaine views such misinformation as extremely damaging to public health and has called for greater accountability among officials tasked with guiding national vaccine policy. He considers trust in vaccines foundational to the country’s wellbeing and has stated that undermining this trust leads to preventable illness and death.

Saying that rights are protected under Law does not imply that they come from or were bestowed by the Law.

And from the fact that the Bible does not enumerate every single picayune subsidiary right, it does not follow that we were not endowed with those other rights by the Creator.

Methinks Sen. Kaine is more than a little confused!

Regards,

Kaine is an effete bitter loser. He will say that he needs God’s help when he is deposed and tossed out of office like a rag doll. Or is facing a terminal illness.

The concept that there are certain inalienable rights that come from God was present in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence adopted that year, and had its intended impact in terms of justifying our efforts to break free of Brutish dominion.

Unfortunately, neither the Constitution (1787), a.k.a. CONUS, nor what would become the first ten amendments thereto (1789), a.k.a. the Bill of Rights, picked up that ball to run with it.

Similarly, the federal Supreme Court (SCOTUS), a.k.a. SCOTUS, formed in 1789 under CONUS, never picked up that ball to run with it.

There is nothing God-fearing U S. Americans can point to in CONUS, the Bill of Rights, or any subsequent federal SCOTUS opinion to prove that the God-denying among us, such as Senator Kaine are all wet or out to lunch.

Sadly, it appears that, between 1776 and 1787, the concept (that we as humans possess certain inalienable rights that come from God) ended up being shelved.

"Unless protected by law, everyday people cannot rest secure that their critical rights will be protected. Claiming that all rights come from the Creator and not from laws or government leaves the door wide open for dictators to ignore the law and simply proclaim that they are doing God's will," he wrote.

Non-sequitur. It does not follow that claiming Divine origin for laws means that one automatically can claim they are acting in accordance with it, any more than claiming laws flow from government means anyone can automatically claim they are acting in accordance with it. In both cases, an established, authoritative substantive body of writings are needed as defining what God or the government considers lawful.

Kaine is just being a good Marxist. But he does need a new pair of shoes. Currently he’s light in the loafers.

Kaine is a long-term favorite of VA voters, who don’t seem to be the sharpest knives in the drawer.

I think both men are right. God created man for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is up to mankind to protect those rights.
To Tim Kaine: the next time you are asked your religion please be honest and check the box “NONE”. Your life demonstrates that to be true

If he talks like a Marxist, he is not very Catholic.

Now he’s trying to dissemble and waffle and equivocate.

He’s kind of a dim bulb here. If you’re going to wade into the weeds on this maybe he should have done his homework. This is not freshly plowed ground, and the founding father’s elucidated at length on this very point.

For an encore he ought to tackle “Consent of the Governed”, that ought to be a hoot.
