“Rights are not gifts from government. They don’t come from documents – not a constitution, not even a bill of rights. You have rights because you exist. But government has never been a big fan of that view. The ruling class prefers a population that thinks liberty is a privilege to be granted and withdrawn. Far too many people today play along – talking about their rights like they’re favors written into law.” (08/13/25)
