Mao Moment

Listen below, but it's helpful to read it in black&white (& weep). The Tom Snyder "You wonder what goes through their minds" line seems fitting.
"When people read the Constitution and say, 'Oh, we get our rights from the Constitution,' that is wrong," he said. "The Constitution does not give us rights. It recognizes rights that are written on our heart because we are a creature of God. That's where we get our rights from."
What the fuck? Those pay attention to the real world, as opposed to the Babylonian Mystery or whatever's informing Santorum, realize that "rights" are never (ever) given, but that they flow naturally from the barrel of a gun or the point of a spear. We can only suppose that we "creature(s) of God" will next have our crimes written on our backs. W/ a fucking needle.

Oh, just one more question: Where was gawd & his written-on-our-hearts rights throughout the history of human horror prior to the Constitution-which-doesn't-give-us-rights? Huh? Where?
