Rights Come From God

"The problem for the state and federal government, however, is that they do not grant humans their rights, something the Founders and Rush knew well."

Every time we turn around it seems like our rights are being stripped away. The most recent and egregious incident comes from Washington state where the state legislature just passed a bill that allows minors to run away from home and be shielded from their parents if they want to change gender, or have an abortion. The law is so brazen that it even prevents parents from learning where their children are if the child wants a “protected medical procedure”. Parental rights apparently mean nothing to the regime. The problem for the state and federal government, however, is that they do not grant humans their rights, something the Founders and Rush knew well.

“Throughout history, rights have been denied people and horrific consequences have occurred in the name of reform. And let’s not forget where these rights emanate from. Rights emanate from God. These rights are, as our Founding Fathers understood, part of the natural yearning of the human spirit, freedom, the foundation underlying aspect of human existence, the yearning to be free, the yearning to say what you want to say when you want to say it. That our Founding Fathers knew that that’s part of our creation. It’s not something bestowed on us by a benevolent leader. It’s the way we are. The Founding Fathers sought not to deny that, not to limit that, and certainly not give a powerful central (Government) limit the authority or the power to limit it.”

Rush understood that rights were not something that varied by nation. The rights of man come from God and are intrinsically known to man, no matter what culture he lives in. It is for that reason that no dictatorship survives forever, no matter how powerful. The people eventually prefer the possibility of death to living in slavery and rise up against their dictators. However, often the uprising is worse than the slavery. The primary example of this is the French Revolution. The monarchy of Louis XVI was bad and oppressive certainly, but the French Revolution was far worse and killed far more people
