Independent Rights Owing

More From Millard Fillmore

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

Abortion on demand is the ultimate state tyranny; the state simply declares that certain classes of human beings are not persons, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law. the state protects the 'right' of some people to kill others, just as the courts protected the 'property rights' of slave masters in their slaves. moreover, by this method the state achieves a goal common to all totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies are spent in the struggle between state-created classes, rather than in freeing all individuals from the state.
Struggle Law Class
Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. a group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members. in a free society, the "rights" of any group are derived from the rights of its members through their voluntary individual choice and contractual agreement, and are merely the application of these individual rights to a specific undertaking... a group, as such, has no rights.
Rights Agreement Individual Choice
What the world needs today is a definite, spiritual mobilization of the nations who believe in god against this tide of red agnosticism. it needs a moral mobilization against the hideous ideas of the police state and human slavery. i suggest that the united nations should be reorganized without the communist nations in it. it is a proposal based solely upon moral, spiritual and defense foundations. it is a proposal to redeem the concept of the united nations to the high purpose for which it was created. it is a proposal for moral and spiritual cooperation of god-fearing free nations. and in rejecting an atheistic other world, i am confident that the almighty god will be with us.
Spiritual Believe Other Worlds
Individuals have rights and there are things no person or group may do to them (without violating their rights). so strong and far-reaching are these rights that they raise the question of what, if anything, the state and its officials may do. how much room do individual rights leave for the state?
Strong Rights What If
Human rights are something you were born with. human rights are your god-given rights. human rights are the rights that are recognized by all nations of this earth.

There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man's duties in order to be equal in rights.

The error of those who reason by precedents drawn from antiquity, respecting the rights of man, is that they do not go far enough into antiquity.
Men Errors Rights
Since there is no such entity as 'the public,' since the public is merely a number of individuals, the idea that 'the public interest' supersedes private interests and rights can have but one meaning: that the interests and rights of some individuals take precedence over the interests and rights of others.
