I agree, we're also the enemy of the current regime running the nation into the abyss.

Yes

It's literally what inspired our constitution

In the Constitution it states,

quote:

---

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’s from the Declaration of Independence.

True, but that declaration to the British crown helped put into motion the penning of the US constitution. The bottom line is the founders believed our core rights as human beings come from the Creator and not government/man.

It's disturbing how many Americans believe government is the arbiter of their God given rights.

It truly is, and it’s the result of decades of work by those who seek to destroy and control us.

I believe I was born endowed with rights

Haven’t been to church in twenty years.

But I guess I’m a Christian nationalist

Aren’t you a self avowed communist?

There are likely tons of scholarly research and articles on the subject that will go into far greater depth than we want to get into in this forum.

Suffice to say, while it’s an oversimplification I’ll accept are “correct”to say the FF believed that these rights came “from God” rather than from “government”. But it’s more accurate to say that this was more along the lines of a philosophical belief in “natural law” referencing “The Creator” rather than a Judeo-Christian religious movement. You might want to look up Thomas Jefferson’s Bible as it provides an interesting perspective.

I’ll also point out that the Constitution seemingly acknowledges/protects
rights by delineating the limits of government, rather than “granting” them.

This statement is just silly and emblematic of being overly wrapped up in paranoia.

In reality, it’s no different than people who holler about “free speech” being violated by a private entity. It’s just a misconception that people have because they are ignorant of the nuisances
involved. It’s easier for people
to understand “I have a right granted by the second amendment to own a gun” than the 2nd amendment acknowledges my right to bear arms and therefore prohibits the government from infringing on it. There’s no nefarious grand conspiracy.
