Property rights are not granted by governments, they are granted by God.

FWIW, I have never seen a corporate charter that was signed off on by God let alone seeing anything in the bible on how to establish a corporation under God, nor I have seen a deed where the grantor was God.

You think I have a bizarre view on property rights ?

Take a deep breath and relax and let yourself have a moment to comprehend that your so called rights were subordinated to the state (with the restrictions provided for in the constitution) BECAUSE your ancestors felt that was the best way to pursue Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Its a conditional contract but its a contract just the same. Just because you don't like the terms of that contract made by the founding fathers on your behalf doesn't make that contract void. Each day that the masses don't rise up and overthrow the government is the same as ratifying its past acts.

Correction, except for the Hebrews.

You have a bizarre view of the origin of rights in general. And property rights are among them.

I keep reposting the opinion of the founders in their own words, but no amount seems to get through to you.

I'll go repost it again,,it gets so boring to repeat the same things over and over.
