Useful Idiot: Illinois Democrat Says Govt’s Job is to ‘Give Rights’

(Publius Forum) – Illinois State Representative Sara Feigenholtz thinks her job is to “give rights” to people. Feigenholtz recently blurted that out in an interview giving us a perfect example of the key difference between those interested in preserving the American system, its morals, and traditions, and those that have no interest in such niceties and instead what to wholly remake the relationship between government and citizen giving government more and more power over everyone.

In the interview, Feigenholtz, a Chicago Democrat in the 12th District, announced her intention to “give rights” to the gay community in Illinois and felt that this “giving” of rights was one of the most important jobs of elected officials.

“For me, the most precious thing I do as a lawmaker is giving people rights,” Feigenholtz said. “We have a powerful opportunity as elected officials to do this.”

The comments are tearing her up.

stay safe.

Dumb, but no less dumb than those politicians who deny rights of gays or anyone else.

I have lately become unconvinced that certain "rights" have any natural basis.

While it's tempting to engage in a philosophical discussion of what "rights" are, suffice it that if you have to extort concessions from ordinary folk -- not prevent aggression, mind you, just coerce people to "approve" of what you're doing -- then I believe it's safe to say you're not transacting in a natural right.

I believe I'll leave it at that.
