Santorum on the Constitution and the Declaration

[BlindBoo]

I guess Rick just doesn't understand that the DoI justifies seperating our nation from the King of England and the Constitution set up the functionality of our second federal government. The Bill of Rights was adopted to ensure.....

Libertarian atheists try to ignore that the DoI mentions deity five times and states that human rights evolve from deity.

Can't get around it: fact.

It doesn't matter where the rights come from, we have them and they are inalienable. You can not cite the DofI as a legal document. There is a separation of church and state for a reason.

inalienable? really. you might want to tell that to japanese citizens who were interned during WWII.

the declaration of independence isn't law... and rights don't exist unless they're enforced.

it's not that complicated.

i do agree with you that there is separation of church and state for a reason.

The inalienability of the rights does not preclude them from being violated.

No one is insisting the DoI is law, right? We all agreed?

No one is denying that TJ stated our rights are iinalienable and come from deity, right? We all agreed?

No one needs to agree that TJ was right, only that he said it.
