it is merely a matter of degree between one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue SOME rights, and one who believes the state has the authority to take or issue ALL or MOST rights. this is the choice you are faced with regarding the dems and repubs. think about it.
they both agree the state has the authority to take or issue some rights, they disagree only on which ones.
individual liberty believes that rights exist as a part of being man, or only from man himself, or God, but that they exist in man as man is.
