While our ‘leaders’ in Washington D.C. continue to let us down through their blatant disregard for the Constitution, Glenn spoke on radio this morning about the importance of remembering the rights we enjoy and the origin of those rights.

You won't believe what these people are trying to do, and it fits right into that, just on a very grand scale. This is just a small scale. ‘The Bill of Rights are outdated. Bill of Rights are outdated, kids. So, let's help rewrite it. In fact, why don't you tweet your answers.’ The Bill of Rights are outdated? I have a right to speak. I have a right to worship God. To my understanding, I have a right not to be searched. I have a right not to testify against myself.

…Who do these people think they are? They think they are God because the Bill of Rights is outdated. The Bill of Rights, that's what gives us the understanding of, you know, when people say, it's an empty quote, ‘I've got rights, you know.’ Really? Name them. Name them. ‘Well, I've got rights.’ Name them. Name them. Tell me what they are. If you can't name them, tell me where you get them. Where do you get them? Has anybody ever said, ‘I get my rights from the government.’ If you are saying that, the government then can take them away then can't they? So the government just decides, ‘Oh, you don't have those rights.’ ‘I have rights.’ No, you told me the government gives you those rights. So, the government can take them away. If the government issues them, then the government can take them away.

‘Well, I have rights.’ No you don't. Now, where do you get your rights? All men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable, unchangeable rights. You cannot take them. You cannot amend them. You cannot bend them. Certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And the outdated Bill of Rights takes that a step further and says, ‘Because all men are created equal and given certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the government shall not ever do anything to stop you from speaking your mind. You have that right from God. And government shall never infringe on your right to say what you believe about the government.’

Too many people were burned at the stake because they stood up against the church or they stood up against the government. And they were burned at the stake when they stood up against the church because the church was the government, which leads us to the other part of that: the government shall not endorse any religion, make a religion a requirement. You can't force people. If you want to be mayor, I can't force you to be a Catholic. Otherwise, only Catholics can be mayor. I cannot go against your conscience. If your conscience says, ‘No, my God tells me, my religion tells me that I will not comply. I will not go against what god tells me to do. I will not perform an abortion. I will not supply abortion pills or aid to abortion clinics because my God, my understanding of God tells me I don't have to.’ You want to. You can. I will have no part in that.

…That's why you have the second right: that you will never be infringed. A right to keep and bear arms. Our government was not afraid of a foreign force. They were afraid of government. They were not afraid of jihad. They were afraid of the government because they had just lived through it. You can't put soldiers in my house and make me feed them. You can't haul me off in the middle of the night. I have a right to say what I want to make my case, let my voice be heard, stand in front of a jury. There are no secret courts. You can't spy on me. You can't come in and take my papers and just look at all my stuff. You need a warrant. If people understood this, they would never have gone for the IRS. The IRS you are guilty until proven innocent. You are guilty. They tell you, provide the information. Show us how you have not cheated us. Show us. I tell you what, federal government, why don't you abide by the Constitution? You show me how I have violated it. You show me the evidence. I'm innocent until proven guilty. Who are you to tell me? Produce these things. You produce them.

The whole world has been turned upside down and inside out by progressives. ‘It's an outdated document.’ No. I'm sorry. Universal truths are never out of date. They may be out of fashion because man's tastes change. Sometimes they want to be free. Sometimes they just want to be counted. Sometimes they just want to be seen. Sometimes they just say, ’I'm not a number. I'm a human being.’ Sometimes we see the struggle of the individual. Sometimes we see that one person, that every single one of us matters. And then other times as always happens, whether it's the length of skirts or the cut of hair. Fashion comes and goes and fashion dictates… And the rights of man. The rights of man are much more important than the rights of men, a single man.

Ask your kids tonight at dinner, what gives you the right. Challenge them. Get in their face. You talk about, I’ve got rights, you know? Really? Who issues them? Teach them a lesson. Push them to the wall, they are going to cry, it's going to hurt their feelings. Push them. Because if you don't do it now, it's going to be much worse when they are pushed and they are shoved and they are shot. Push them. Teach them. They need to know the truth. And they need to be pushed up against the wall once in a while so they know they can defend themselves. They know they can survive. They don't run around like little girls crying at the drop of a hat. Push them. Failure is important. It is the only way to success. Let them fail. Teach them that it's the way that you fail and you treat your success and your failure, so are both imposters, to quote Rudyard Kipling, and treat them both the same. What is inside of you? Who are you? And what right do you have? And who gives it to you?
