Exactly who is entitled to unalienable rights anyway?

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.

Even terrorists at guantanamo bay, right?

Even terrorists on Capitol Hill.

In reality the rights are from men and not God. I didn't read anything about God being at Saratoga,Cowpens and Yorktown. I'm sure in the minds of idiots like Glen Beck and like minded fools God is everywhere. They use religon to push thier narrow-minded agenda that the USA is a Christan Nation.

There are some things you can't put a price on like a human life, so one must concede that all men are created equal.

The simple fact that a person is alive and here proves their right to life. It is of the most basic and common traits hardwired into human nature to require liberty and to pursue happiness even from childhood. It's like the right to pursue food to eat and water to drink, they're inherent in most all people.

it is nothing more than a bunch of nice words it means nothing. rights are taken by force. men are not equal only at birth in the sense that if thrown out into the wilds they all die but no doubt at different rates.

Rights are taken AWAY by force, like you said about throwing newborns out into the wild, none will make it and their rights to life have been taken by force.

Could you take a good look at these people and tell me sincerely that they don't have certain inherent rights? I don't see how those people's rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness could even be in question.

I would like to change the subject up a bit. I know that the JF's bloggers are maybe a little bit bored on the above subject.

Have anyone read the Jane Mayer article in "The New Yorker" on the
Koch brothers involvement in the so called grassroots movement of the Tea party?.

Go to "The New Yorker" website and
look for the Jane Mayer's report to
be dated 8/30/2010 for the next issue.

Jews playing both sides??. Whatever you say Adolf. It seems that the tea party movement isn't such a grassroots type of organization. In reality it's pushed by a bunch of wealthy corp. fatcats that put money into talkradio,fakenews(Fox)and so called conservative thinkers.

There are fatcats riding the tea party train but grassroots Ron Paul supporters started it and continue in it.

The Ron Paul supporters
should wake up to the fact that they are getting manipulated by GOP
corporate activist that really don't give a "squat" about issues they care about. Example: a lot of
the GOP activist want to continue the Bush tax cuts which mainly caused the economic issues we see today.

I'm sorry but I'm a little tired of these silly libertarians like Ron Paul who talk a good game about fiscal responsiblity and following the constitution but won't get away from the GOP "money
tit".

If you guys want a third party then have the guts to realize your getting used by the likes of talkradio,the GOP and it's corporate activist to push thier agenda not the one's you guys want.

Something that you should realize is that the GOP is getting a long overdue education about a lot of things.

Hey I agree with the political post on Craigslist. I'm a american first and everything else next. I just don't like people like Glen Beck, and most of the tea party.

A memo to Clayton.

Look I know you got rid of your TV. That's okay I guess. I truly don't like to use the internet as a major news source because most of the time the internet has a lot of things in it that is BS.

Try to read news mags like the Nation,Time,Newsweek.
