CNN Anchor: ‘Our Rights Do Not Come From God’

CNN Anchor: ‘Our Rights Come From Man’ We hate to trot out the well worn phrases but all the same here it goes. If we assume that rights are imparted by the will of the state then we’ve permitted that state the authority to abort them. And abort them it will. In the 19ths century the thinking that rights come from man allowed for the institution of slavery. In the 20th century it brought about the Holocaust. And while we don’t know what the specific consequences will be in the 21st Century we do know that they will have a tireless champion in crypto fascists like Chris Cuomo.

  • Compromise

    The last word out of Coumo mouth. Compromise is lion and leopard voting to eat the lamb. Inalienable right is the lamb say oh-no-you-don't. Coumo is showing his intellectual ass there. These people are so deo-phobic, so deeply ingrained that only the govt can solve problems, that they don't see the truth to the fact that constructing rights based on divine basis is the only way to ensure that they can't be taken away. The Constitution doesn't give us rights anymore than at night headlights put road in front of us. The Constitution illuminates and reveals the rights we would have- and will still have, even if they burn the document- or more likely ignore it when they can, and redefine when they can't.

    Put the guy on with the Southern accent and act all indignant when he mentions God. The Progressive can't do anything without mentioning a jobs program as the cure.

  • “When federal courts start changing our Constitution by defining words that are not even there, like marriage, they’re going to do the same thing with family in the future,” Moore declared. “When a word’s not in the Constitution, clearly the powers of the Supreme Court do not allow them to redefine words and seize power. Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people. This power over marriage which came from god under our organic law is not to be redefined by the United States Supreme Court or any federal court.”

    YAY!

  • This has never made sense to me. Where to Atheists get their thoughts on right and wrong from? Likely from their parents. Where did their parents get them? From God or their parents, right? Keep going up the chain until you find the Godly connection.

    Everyone's thoughts on right or wrong, at some point in the chain, came from their connection to God I am sure.

  • Is he okay with this man being a Conservative Practicing Christian Republican or Libertarian?

    Something tells me no... He will not be okay with that... I would not be okay with this man being a Democrat Progressive Liberal Marxist etc, so that is why RIGHTS must NEVER come from Human Governments nor any one man because then that will welcome tyranny and tyranny is a hard bitch to kill.

      • These bitches use the Constitution like toilet paper. All the diarrhea coming out of their mouths and they wipe it with the Constitution. These people are out of control.

  • 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, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

    Evidently our Founding Fathers knew what they had given us would be hard to hold onto.

    The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
    Thomas Jefferson

    We Have Given You A Republic. It Remains To Be Seen If You Will Be Able To Retain It.

  • He is a Cuomo, Curly Cuomo, you might know his brothers Larry and Mo, I believe they are both in politics or some shit like that.

  • For a guy who attended The Albany Academy, an elite prep school, then received his undergraduate degree from Yale University, and his Juris Doctor from Fordham University and is a licensed attorney, he is clueless about our system of gov't. That's on top of the fact his old man was NY governor & ran for president. His statement explains everything I need to know about his belief system from a political standpoint, & in my eyes, is damaged goods that cannot be repaired.

  • Someone enroll Cuomo in a remedial literacy program, quick! And while there, get him enrolled in a high school civics course, too.
