is clearly written in our Constitution that our rights come from our Creator. When a Senator takes an oath to uphold that Constitution, the very least we should expect is that he believes in it, understands it, and has actually read it. Yet it is becoming obvious that many of the people we elect no longer honor the founding principles of this nation.
We must stop elevating leaders who oppose the very ideas that formed our Republic. We believe that all people are created equal. Our nation has made mistakes, and we have corrected many of them over time. But we continue to pursue that ideal. Every person has the right to live freely, to think for themselves, and to make their own decisions. The government does not have the authority to dictate what we believe or how we pursue happiness. That authority belongs to God, not to elected officials.
This is where some people misunderstand the phrase ârights come from our Creatorâ and try to compare it to a theocracy like Iran. The Iranian government does not believe all people are created equal, nor do they affirm the right to self determination. Their system is built on enforcing religious control, not protecting human freedom.
The United States is the opposite. Our founders believed that because God created every person with free will, no government has the right to take that freedom away. Recognizing a Creator as the source of our rights is not the same as enforcing a religion. It is a limit placed on government power. It declares that our freedoms exist before any government and cannot be taken by one.
That is the difference between a theocracy and a constitutional republic founded on God given rights. One imposes belief. The other (the USA) protects freedom.
