People only have the rights their government gives them. And any and all of them can be taken away instantly.
The neat thing about our nation is, I think we are the only one (or certainly the first) to declare our rights before we formed a government.

I'm betting you don't know any liberals very closely, but you sure seem to have a strong opinion of them.
Half of my family are DC pro government liberals who have never voted for a Republican in their life.
They believe in “science”, by which I mean the expert class over their own lived experiences or logic.
They can get blood clots at age 30 a day after getting a Covid booster with no family history of clots but will attack anyone who says there are risks to taking the Covid shots.
If the experts tell them arresting the people who stole their moped is racist then it’s racist and they won’t call the cops even though they’ve never treated anyone based on race in their life.
If the expert class tells them that firearms are incredibly dangerous despite them growing up around weapons used for hunting and sporting clays then it’s dangerous and they should be banned.
They’re book smart, but extraordinarily compliant.
To them the obvious solution to most of the problems in the nation are to be found by expanding what they view as a benevolent and fundamentally good national government rather than evaluating whether the policies they voted for in their 95:5 democratic city could actually be causing the issues they live with daily.

Like putting soldiers in our streets?
Yeah, that bird don't fly no more.

You skipped the why.
You know, the part where the left opened the borders to non-western immigrants in the hopes of importing voters and driving down labor costs, stopped prosecuting crime at the local level and refuses in blue states to cooperate with the legal authority of the federal government to remove people who have no legal right to be here, all of which was part of their stated agenda?

His comparison of the concept of natural rights to theocratic authoritarianism is absurd
Agreed.
quote:
Rights are, by definition, restraints on government power which is the complete opposite of authoritarian measures.
And yet, the population (the government) still decides what those rights (restraints) are.
Tim Kaine is right in that the local populations (majorities) are who decide what natural rights are.
Do you think if 80% of our founding fathers didn't think people had the right to bear arms that the second amendment would exist? Of course not.
People run the government, so people decide what rights and laws are.

Matt Walsh believes the comment is grounds for his removal from office
It's a violation of a political piety, hence the performative outrage, but there are lots of non-natural-rights justifications for liberty, republicanism, and democracy (or whatever other political concepts float your boat) for quite some time. This is also true of rw folks, (e.g. in the tech post-lib camp).
