And, one of the most important duties of the federal government was to respect and protect all of the rights of all of the people equally. Well folks, to put it mildly, the Ship of State has kind of meandered a bit off course these past few years. Define the forest, then, as freedom, including all of our unalienable rights. The trees of that forest are but the discreet, individual rights. To date, we have heard many interesting ideas promoted by candidates for federal office.
Some candidates even mention one or two of our rights, in passing.
That is, some candidates isolate a right or two that needs attention, but that is all. But, so far, that person has not arrived.
