i agree;

If you don't have obligations; how can you respect other people's right?

Answer 2

*"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"

**"Give me Liberty or Give Me Death"

As a democratic-republic where our leaders are elected by the constituency they serve, we preserve our inherent rights by casting our ballot during elections, communicating with our local legislators, appearing in court for civil/criminal vindication, and resonding to our call to represent our jurisdiction if we are chosen as potential jurors.

Any limited federal or state obligations we have shall be vested in the best interests of preserving security, pursuit of happiness, and tranquility within the union. "We the people"*** are protected from any infringement upon our individual rights through the powers granted by the constitution assuming we ourselves our not of reasonable suspicion. In such an event, a presiding judge within the jurisdiction will evaluate the parameters of the prospective breach of law by signing an order for a search warrant, and/or other measures of investigation Law Enforcement may use (such as wiretapping) to obtain more evidence or identify co-conspirators.

Any limited federal obligation we have shall be vested in the best interests of preserving security and tranquility within the union.

Those who choose public service are obliged to represent their districts. It is the right of the idividual citizen to become involved in the democratic process and thereby ensure their voice is heard, even if it falls upon deaf ears. In extreme cases, the US Supreme Court is chosen by the executive leader to preserve justice according to prior case dispositions and the dynamic interpretion of the constitution.

Stay cautious, but don't allow the gov't to scare you into abandoning the principles by which this country was founded. Many of our rights have already been trampled, thanks to bloated government bureaucracies that become inefficent and corrupt (i.e. DEA, FEMA). Homeland security starts within communities. If we don't have affordable education, we can't hope to have decent military intelligence or scientists to help us maintain public health, environmental sustenance, foresight into preserving economic stability, and state of the art military technology to ensure that "we the people" are always united in the virtues of freedom and social justice.

Answer 3

No, that isn't the way the Constitution works. Why am I not surprised there are people like you out there?

I think everyone should do something in service, especially Republicans, which I assume you are!

And disneyland, many kids ARE dumped on to the government! Or they are ignored. Throw away kids who are usually dead before they reach 18!

Answer 4

You have to take responsibility for your actions. With rights, you have responsibilities.

That's one reason I get so upset about when the illegals that get deported they whine about the fact that America is splitting up their families. Sorry but they did it to themselves!

Another example - we have the right to have children. With that right, we have the responsibility to take care of those children. That doesn't mean you are suppose to dump that responsibility onto someone else (e.g., the government).

Answer 5

With rights comes responsibilities. Nothing else can work, and it's exactly why
America has so many problems.

Answer 6

That depends on what rights you are talking about. Human rights should not be violated under any circumstance.
