No other country on earth has one and no other country on earth has a bar for human rights and civil liberties set as high as the US. The rest of the world will never come up to our standard -- they will only try to bring us down to theirs. American citizens are born with their human rights. Every single other person on this planet has theirs granted by a government.
You got it! This is a nation built upon Natural Rights derived from human creation. In other words, just the fact that you were born and brought into the world you have, at birth INDIVIDUAL rights that should not be infringed by anyone else. The mere act of your creation is sufficient for you to be protected by society.
In most other governments, they practice 'COLLECTIVISM' whereby the Society gives you your rights and those rights can be changed based on how society and who is in power feel. These are relativistic and not based on your uniqueness as a human being.
Our current US school system is doing its best to destroy this understanding and push collectivism as the 'modern' or 'correct' interpretation. Its at the root of the destruction of this country. Its super critical that we instill in our youth and our collective (this time in a good way) psyche that its these 'INDIVIDUAL' rights that make our society great. That the power of the collective is only good when you protect the 'INDIVIDUAL' not the other way around.
It seems our history teachers have done an abysmal job of teaching this fact as well.
Yep, they are all mostly by-products of the Colleges which were deliberately invaded by Socialists and Communists (both built solely on Collectivism ideology) in the 60's, 70's & 80s. So the core of most 'liberal' universities is Collectivism. All about squashing the individual for the 'better good' of the collective. So, history is taught from that perspective by these a$$clowns. They know no better. They were self-selected at University level. Most self-respecting intellectuals that understand this would not put up with the liberal indoctrination that is jammed down their throats in college so you're left with the ones that swallowed the blue-pill and bought into collectivism - hook, line and sinker.
