I think something that's lost on many foreigners is their ingrained rejection to nationalism. Those sentiments are taking hold here. Believe me when I say I'd like to revert to the older currencies and pledges of allegiance where god isn't mentioned. Benjamin Franklin printed the first American currency after the civil war. The phrase "mind your business" was printed on our first penny. The unique bit about our rights is that they are "God Given". Kinda strange. The founding fathers routinely managed to leave god out of the equation except when it came to rights. The reason for this was the importance of instilling the idea that they don't come from a govt or man.
Sadly the reality is that rights aren't god given and you only ever have what you maintain or take for yourself. What foreigners fail to realize is that while Islam is a political structure masquerading as religion, the concept of Americanism is a religion founded on human rights posing as a nation in and of itself for some.
Rights are irrelevant. Free will is what makes man sentient. All that matters in the end, is that we either serve God (by choice), or we suffer through our life at the hands of gradually declining mindsets of the failing moral inertia trying to be prolonged by man (by choice).
I've read through all your founding documents. Or at least I did a LONG time ago. In many ways they are good and in many ways they are bad. I am a fan of the self regulation of government by citizens, but in many places it opens itself up to self destruction of its own laws and the people it is supposed to be for. Man is a futile creature and it can not regulate itself without God.
Rights are a communal agreement and exercise of free will. Individuals came together and agreed on a thing.
