Rights, Natural Rights & Terrorism

[rhfyr91]

I recommend the Southern Avenger to you , he is a talk show host who posts on youtube alot as well, you two are pretty much in line politically.

[RedShirtArmy]

@rhfyr91 Yes, I love the Southern Avenger. His name is Jack Hunter. He's a great fellow.

[rhfyr91]

Good job, when i first saw you i thought you were just another conservative. But i have come to actually agree with alot of the things you say. You did a very good job here, i have added this to my favorites.

[mysticmegthepeg]

Interesting video, thanks.

[Rothbardian1]

I personally think that there is a lot of evidence to show government cooperation, certainly between Dutch security and FBI and the Indian Handler of this young man who was let free without interrogation. However, I agree with what you are saying. If you support the notion of Natural Rights, this man deserves a trial. If you don't accept this premise, than one has to accept that rights are given by the government and can be taken on a whim.

[MrEpicTruth]

Great video.

People misunderstand rights COMPLETELY due to the rhetoric they hear from pundits, anchors, celebrities, and politicians. They believe rights are something "granted" to them somehow. Many believe it's the Constitution, however this is absolutely not true in any way.

The TRUTH is that human rights are naturally yours and cannot be taken away by any force. The Constitution LIMITS government by PROTECTING your NATURAL rights. Only your ability to DEFEND your rights can be broken.

[Luigi84289]

@MrEpicTruth The Constitution is there to restrict the rights of the Feds. As a corporate entity the feds have no natural rights only what we give them which the Constitution lays out plainly. The people's rights are supposed to remain untouched the Constitution our statement of this to the Governing body.

[TerranMarineConfed]

I agree I think that the Natural right of a person must always be fought for.

[redrusso75]

I believe the government makes up what ever it wants on what ever it feels. We are allowed to do things untill the gov decides otherwise. We have no rights. I love this video because it is truth. Untill we declare and excersice our rights, we will have none

[RedShirtArmy]

Glad you liked it. I agree with you, by the way.

[crazyfool91cl]

If you don't support the United States and it's Constitution or Government, which you are allowed to vote for, then why do you believe you or anybody else should be given the rights that are guaranteed in the Constitution? It seems hypocritical to bash the U.S. and then demand that everyone be treated as U.S. citizens. Rights are given to a person by authority. If I lived in Iran and decided I had the right to defile the holy book of Islam in public, what do you think would happen to me?

[RedShirtArmy]

You're right that I don't support the US, at least certainly not the evil empire it has become today. However, as long as we are all forced to live under it, I want to advance the notion of natural rights as much as possible. As for what would or wouldn't happen to you in Iran, that has nothing to do with the matter. I am not an expert on Iran anyhow. And again, you used the word 'given' with rights. Rights are natural, they are not given. Priveldges are given.

[Luigi84289]

@crazyfool91cl naturlal rights are not granted by anybody, they are innate we have them from birth. As long as people continue to live need some sort of control over their immediate environment to survive and get hungry and thirsty. It isn't other people's place to tell us how we can live our lives unless it infringes on another persons.

[Luigi84289]

@crazyfool91cl And to be frank towards the last part of your post you do have that right. The other's would be violating it by stopping you from expressing your opinion on the matter. The Government can only restrict what is natural not give you anything. It's all a sham. They tell you you can do something which they aren't needed to do. It's a game.

[Luigi84289]

@redrusso75 we have rights but they are suppressed. We are fooled into thinking we don't. We all have the right to life and if it was respected these offensive foreign campaigns would cease. Only defensive conflicts are just.

[redrusso75]

Very well put. I agree in both lights. They are suppressed and denied. Unfortunately, voting and petitions seem to no longer hold any restraints on the gov. We will end up like other countries, fighting for what ever scrap of humanity we can. Good insite Luigi

[FreedomIsPopularLLC]

Is this man a suspected "criminal" or a "war combatant"? We can try to answer with a question, "has the US declared war"? No they have not. So assuming the Const. is still the supreme law of the land which requires a Declaration of War; we then are forced to conclude that he is a suspected "criminal". Suspects are indeed entitled to certain rights as spelled out in the Constitution. The fed govt has completely confuscated the issue by their refusal to follow the Constitution and Declare War.

[Luigi84289]

@FreedomIsPopularLLC They are entitled to all their natural rights as a human being until proven guilty of violating someone else's.

[JakeSEAL9]

@Luigi84289 No terrorist has natural rights all they deserve is a 45 to the head. They are scum. They deserve no rights or say what happens to them. Illegal aliens dont deserve rights either

[RedShirtArmy]

@JakeSEAL9 I think you missed the entire point of the video. Natural rights are not given by you or anyone else. They are part of our humanity. When someone aggresses against another, as I pointed out in the video, they then forfeit their rights. But until they do and have been tried and convicted for this aggression, they - just like you and me and everyone else - have natural rights. Govt's which deny these rights are illegitimate.

[JakeSEAL9]

@RedShirtArmy No they dont have natural rights. Thats how we have soldiers getting tried for punching a teroorist. WHy should he have the right to help a court martial be filed against an AMERICAN Soldier. He shouldnt he is a POW and will be treated how we see fit. Sure we dont have to go medival on him but we sure as hell dont have to let him stay at the freakin four seasons. They dont have rights theygave those up on September 11

[RedShirtArmy]

@JakeSEAL9 Well, US soldiers should not be over-seas to begin with but that's another argument. A US soldier is free to fight enemy soldiers - not to kill civilians. As long as the soldier is fighting an enemy soldier on the battlefield there is no legal problem. However, when a US soldier hurts civilians or tortures people or other things like this, then there is a problem. Who is staying at the Four Seasons, by the way? Also, the people who did 9/11 are dead. There are very few Al Queda left.

[Luigi84289]

@JakeSEAL9 A terrorist is a label given from a certain perspective. To Britian in 1776 we were terrorists. I wish I could live in your world of ignorance again. It really is bliss to think America is always right. I live in reality now.

[JakeSEAL9]

@Luigi84289 okay is a terrorist is a label then what the heck is the taliban and al queda. DO they hve rights?

[Luigi84289]

@JakeSEAL9 Yes they are human beings. We have been in there territory forever stirring up trouble. Most Americans don't realize our role in middle east through our federal extensions that nobody sees on home soil. The rest of the world sees the real US. They simply want to be left alone. Resistance groups are inevitable and no middle eastern "terrorist" was involved with 9/11.

[whitefeather61]

You dont know because he hasn't been tried yet? He was caught red handed or do you believe all the people on that plane are gov agents lying. I dont trust the gov either especially when it gives terrorist the same rights as its citizens. Now that we have a goverment that does I believe these attacks will increase. the court system give them a stage to attack the country as well.

[RedShirtArmy]

I think you completely missed the point of what I was saying. Rights can not be given or taken away. You said the government gives terrorists rights. That's impossible. Humans have rights. And as for what I know about the man, I wasn't there. All I see is the War Channel's (Fox News) propaganda day in and day out saying everyone's a terrorist and everyone's out to get us. I really don't believe anything they say on TV without proof I can see. An

[uttles]

A person forfeits their natural right to life the instant that they initiate the use of force against another human being. The terrorist deserves nothing but a bullet to the head.

[RedShirtArmy]

Indeed one does forfeit one's rights if one initiates force against others. I agree with you. However, that has yet to be proven. If he is found guilty of doing so I have no problem with punishing him.

[uttles]

The problem though is that we are conferring due process of law to a wartime enemy. Should our soldiers hold their fire until each and every enemy has had a fair trial on the battle field? If they are progressing towards our position, AK's in hand, should we hold a court and read them their miranda rights?

You are correct in that we can't just strip people of their rights, but when a non-US citizen is obviously attacking a the United States, we are justified and obligated to terminate them.

[KhmerD0g]

so we sink as low as the terrorists?

[jmelkis]

Excellent job, by the way! Thanks for speaking out.

We simply can't trust our government to give us the truth, especially when they are jumping from this to wanting to do "full body scans" on everyone. Yikes! This is just the excuse they needed.

[KentuckyThunder1863]

good video PP. whats troubling is, the Feds continue to leave the boarders wide open, and allow these violent people in. I guess so they can have another reason to invade another foriegn country while WE pick up the check, so to speak. anyway, I'm freezing my tailfeathers off right now, thanks to this cold spell, it's 12 degrees here right now! i ain't seen it this cold in years.

[wobgnol74]

In my oppinion, he should have been dispatched by the passengers that stopped him. If you or one of your family members had been on that plane, I don't believe you would be so sempathetic. Remember that it aint just the government out to get us,there's plenty of evil in the world besides washington. But, I have noticed it often seems to be yankees that are targeted for these things. Keep up the good work.  DEO VINDICE!

[RedShirtArmy]

I'm not against punishing him if he is found guilty and I'm not 'sympathetic' to him. I'm sympathetic to my liberties and natural rights - as I am to yours. We don't know anything about this man or any other the gov't trots out for us to hate an condemn. Until he's tried, we don't even know if this particular man was on that plane or not. It's not a matter of being sympathetic to him - it's a matter of getting at the truth and making sure that all our rights are protected.

[jmelkis]

Yes, exactly. I don't trust the Empire one bit. If in fact, the man is as guilty as everyone says he is, then I see no problem with him being punished, of course. But before that, I not only want to know if he was on the plane, but why and what happened. We need all of the facts. It's not that I am sympathetic to this man. It's that I am unsympathetic to the government (we should always be skeptical of any gov.). I suspect that this may be used an excuse to oppress the rest of us.

[davideli7879]

I agree. But had I been the one who found him with a bomb, if indeed, he had one, I would be the one on trail.

[OhioKnockOutArtist]

this is excellent.

[RedShirtArmy]

Thanks kindly.

[adb024]

Good job. Put together nicely.

[RedShirtArmy]

I appreciate it, Adb024.
