8. The premise of the Founders was that liberty pre-exists governments, and said governments are legitimate only when ‘instituted’ to ‘secure’ natural rights.



Progressives have a very different view: rights, for example, to private property and free speech, are ‘spaces of privacy’ [see Timothy Sandefur] that government chooses to ‘carve out and protect’….or not. For Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, you have no such natural rights as specified in the Declaration of Independence.
So, Progressives offer to trade material benefit to those who are willing to give up their birthrights as Americans.



Star Parker writes about the offer made by Progressive Franklin Roosevelt:

There is the passage from Genesis 25:29-34, which accurately describes the cultural shifts that took place during the Great Depression. Read this, and replace "Jacob" with "Uncle Sam," "Esau," with "the People," and "birthright," with "freedom."

29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished.

30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!”

31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”

32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”

33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left.

So Esau despised his birthright.

Whatever was promised when America was born, it wasn’t a large screen TV, or a pair of Jordan 1 Retro Legends Of Summer….


It was ‘rights.’
And important distinction in understanding America is the difference between ‘rights’ vs ‘entitlements.’



1.“…consider the original rights expressed in the Declaration of Independence and enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, it should be clear that there are massive differences between those rights and these new ones. The original rights were rights to live by one’s personal efforts without the interference of others, and in particular, without interference by government. That is what the founders of the United States were declaring independence from, after all.”
Rights Versus Entitlements | Steven Yates


The word "rights" is being twisted to mean entitlements, and there is a big difference. ... Entitlements, however, are welfare measures entailing government handouts. Rights are not limited by budget constraints, but entitlements are. So, rights are universal but entitlements are not.” Let’s not confuse entitlements with rights




2. The meaning of the term rights, today, represents what the Founders promised, and what the Left claims in will provide. The most important word in the Declaration of Independence is found here:

“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.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”

The word is ‘secure.’

That means that the most important function of government is to maintain pre-existing rights, not to create them, nor to dispense them. They are known and self-evident prior to the founding of our nation, are inalienable, whether one chooses to use them or not.

These are the rights:

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.





3. Following the dictates of German philosopher, Hegel, the Left’s theory of government is at odds with that of America’s Founders. The original Americans memorialized in the Declaration of Independence, a specific set of rights that are immutable, inalienable and gifted to every America by, as the Founders put it, ‘Nature’s God, the Creator, the Supreme Judge, and divine Providence.

For the Left, Progressives, Liberals, Communists, Nazis, etc., there is no God, no universality of mankind, no God-given rights.




4. Pre-eminent Progressive, or should I say ‘Hegelian,’ Woodrow Wilson made clear his disdain for the beliefs of America’s founding: "If you want to understand the real Declaration, do not repeat the preface." –

Every totalitarian, Communist, Nazi, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, Fascist, all promise every sort of material benefit…but you must give up those ‘inalienable rights’…


BTW….they never keep the promise….check out ‘the Worker’s Paradise.’

Yes, most conservatives are truly this stupid and dishonest.

Why is a wall bigoted? Are you suggesting that our immigration laws are bigoted? Take a look at the ENTIRE WORLD and the laws of every other nation and tell me the U.S. is bigoted.

Who wants indefinite detention of illegal law breakers at our expense?

Send them ALL back.

my bad, its a monument to vanity and bigotry.

Only capitalism is based on and promises liberty, freedom, and equality.

“Marxism rested on the assumption that the condition of the working classes would grow ever worse under capitalism, that there would be but two classes: one small and rich, the other vast and increasingly impoverished, and revolution would be the anodyne that would result in the “common good.” But by the early 20th century, it was clear that this assumption was completely wrong! Under capitalism, the standard of living of all was improving: prices falling, incomes rising, health and sanitation improving, lengthening of life spans, diets becoming more varied, the new jobs created in industry paid more than most could make in agriculture, housing improved, and middle class industrialists and business owners displaced nobility and gentry as heroes.”
From a speech by Rev. Robert A. Sirico, President, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty.
Delivered at Hillsdale College, October 27, 2006


And….under capitalism, one need not give up natural rights.

10. The rights guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence required nothing from government, nor any cost of one’s neighbors, or fellow citizens.

The entitlements that FDR and the Progressives promise demand a huge increase in government power and size, and the theft from those who have earned the funds necessary to support that growth.




Every Leftist is, essentially, a Marxist…even though most eschew the title since the fall of the Soviet Union. Even so, Left-wing ideas are predicated on Marx’s materialist view. Philosophically, the term implies that only material things are real.

The Left has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.

The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it.

The Left values equality of economic status above other societal values…including liberty. This explains the lack of prosperity under Leftist regimes: we can have liberty, or equality….not both.
Dennis Prager





Gimme! Gimme!! Gimme!!!

Consider all of the promises made by Liberals, Progressives, Democrat who then control the nation via statutes, regulations, and taxation, and see if they have kept those promises.

Note that LBJ’s Great Society/War on Poverty…over half a century ago….gobbled up over $22 trillion….and the poverty rate is nearly identical with what it was at the start.

PoliticalChic the left is actually trying to convince the stupid that the rich have all of the money and that they, the folks they talk to, can't have any unless the government takes it and gives it to them. That is the PLOY of the left today! Now, you and I can merely maintain that the left are anti american and that a dollar is still a dollar and with hard work you can earn one to a million of them. Money is not owned by the rich, it is owned by all of us. We also need to expose them!! shout it, the left is trying to ruin the country!!! there is plenty of money for you and don't need the government.

The rich do have all the money and they have a government that helps ensure they keep it

So you have evidence that there is only so much money? Apparently there is a finite amount and the rich have it all? How much is the pot?

These are the rights:

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.





3. Following the dictates of German philosopher, Hegel, the Left’s theory of government is at odds with that of America’s Founders. The original Americans memorialized in the Declaration of Independence, a specific set of rights that are immutable, inalienable and gifted to every America by, as the Founders put it, ‘Nature’s God, the Creator, the Supreme Judge, and divine Providence.

For the Left, Progressives, Liberals, Communists, Nazis, etc., there is no God, no universality of mankind, no God-given rights.




4. Pre-eminent Progressive, or should I say ‘Hegelian,’ Woodrow Wilson made clear his disdain for the beliefs of America’s founding: "If you want to understand the real Declaration, do not repeat the preface." –

Every totalitarian, Communist, Nazi, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, Fascist, all promise every sort of material benefit…but you must give up those ‘inalienable rights’…


BTW….they never keep the promise….check out ‘the Worker’s Paradise.’

Yet the bigots in our country think they are entitled to border wall and indefinite detention of immigrants at our expense.

By the term 'immigrants,' you actually mean criminals who sneak into this country.

I'm an immigrant, and came in legally, you lying oaf.

Why can't Liberals ever .....EVER....tell the truth?????????

You left out the part where that door is closed to brown people

Oh I forgot that was written in the law and policy. Only brown people are to be kept out. Anyone else gets in no matter what.
