My "unalienable" (not inalienable) rights include Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.

Freedom of religion is not an unalienable right, but all the same it is a right we have embraced in our country. Our 1st Amendment protects that.

Here, we have Big Government stepping in and endoctrinating children with religious views. That's not right and it's a violation of our 1st Amendment rights.

No one forced your children to say the Pledge .. but now the 9th Circuit just took my children's 1st Amendment Rights away from them

Ah, are you of the opinion that Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness your only unlaienable rights?

Did you forget this?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"

Do you now see that those are not the only unalienable rights?

Further, Isn't it clear where the rights originated, that the Constitution was instituted to secure?

Are you aware of the concerns of some of the Framers about including a Bill of Rights?

Do you understand the purpose of and the principle supporting the Ninth Ammendment?

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
