And i don't disagree, but the government doesn't bestow rights. All the cites in the world won't change my belief that the government doesn't grant rights.

I never said they don't try to abridge those rights. So, you appear to be arguing something i never said. But the founding documents of this government clearly say that rights are not bestowed by the government.

This is how we go off the rails around here.

You basically read my the riot act, starting with the bit on women's rights. Find one post in my 30,000+ where i have not been a supporter of women and their rights. Attacking me when all i said was what i said.
