Whenever man becomes complacent in our gov't it is a path to tyranny. On both side, the left and the right gain power to their own means and the people are left to suffer. We all need to wake up and understand that it is through a slow process and bigger gov't that we loose our freedom. These rights are inalienable, given by our Creator, whichever God you believe in, meaning that they are part of us and cannot be separated from us. They are not provided by gov't nor can they be taken away by gov't, unless we as a people do nothing!!!
