I agree, human rights, inalienable rights is where I draw the line-- they should not be politicized, they were meant to be permanent. THIS is what made America great!

The fact that human rights have been deemed a 'left' issue, and attacked as some kind of cartoon fairy tale only children believe, is evidence these people have truly jumped the proverbial shark into deep dark waters of insanity. You can't have it both ways, ridiculing human rights and then being outraged when the results of this policy come home to roost.
