Who gave man the right to vote?
WuWei:I find it interesting the claim that “government secures rights” when the entire Bill of Rights is a prohibition of violating rights - on the government.
Yes because American people gave themselves a set of right and the bill of right stop the government from violating them.
Its why you can add to it if American people feel something else should become a right.
Its why my rights as a Canadian and your right as an American are different because we value different things.
You don’t have rights, you have privileges. You are a subject of a crown. You have liberties, not freedom.
PurpnGold: WuWei:But the libs aren’t saying that. They’re saying government/society.
That’s because they are.
Who gave women the right to vote? God or Government?
Who gave man the right to vote?
society unless your a white land owner.
First part is wrong; the second part is correct.
Who gave man the right to vote?
Man…

Who gave it to the white land owners.
The vast majority of the world has much more freedom than we do.
Society doesn’t vote. The Ruling Class does.
The last time a major society vote was held I can think of was California’s Prop 8. How’d that work out?
Who gave it to the white land owners.
Themselves… unless you are arguing that your right to vote is dependent on God making it so.

Then what right did slaves have to revolt and why was a civil war necessary?
The vast majority of the world has much more freedom than we do.
This is true because they have less government.
Then what right did slaves have to revolt and why was a civil war necessary?
They didn’t have the right to revolt. They weren’t even considered citizens. Since they weren’t considered citizens that had zero rights in the USA.
Civil war was necessary because the south didn’t want to free slaves and they attacked the north because of it.
Again if rights come from God, why did the civil war even need to happen? Our beef was with God, not man… right?
rights come from the power to levy them from others
slavery comes from the power of others levied upon the slave

Of course they had the right to revolt! They were slaves!
No. The civil war was necessary because the south was seceding over slavery. But mostly because the south was stupid enough to attack and thereby gave them the excuse to stop the secession. Lincoln very clearly stated he had no interest in making black people equal or even freeing slaves. He did have the moral authority to wage war and destroy the south because of slavery.
Beef with the Good Lord? For what? God gave them the right, white slavers violated it.
rights come from the power to levy them from others
slavery comes from the power of others levied upon the slave
From whom were my rights levied?
from all who respected them…
from all who respected them…
Huh?
“Levy” means to impose.
no where because they are human invented
no where because they are human invented
Then what was your post proof of?
How do you know sheep don’t have sheep rights in their sheep society?
WuWei:The overwhelming majority of society doesn’t own the right. I do.
You’re trying to make it a privilege.
How about if the overwhelming majority of society decides you don’t get to speak?
Most of the world does not have freedom of speech. Our society here in the US voted to make it a right.
That is true. Should other countries follow our example?
Then what was your post proof of?

what part of rights being human inventions and only have been expressed through humans dont you understand
