Our rights don't come from government, they come from our creator.

Guess what, guys--our Constitution can take those rights away via Due Process, so it IS a matter of what the government giveth, the government can take away, legally.

You haven't read the Declaration of Independence recently, have you?
The Declaration, addressed to the government of King George, a king who was also head of a state religion, isn't law. The Constitution is.

The Declaration provides the philosophical basis for the establishment of the American republic.
It did not provide the philosophical basis for the U.S. Constitution, prior to which was the Articles of Confederation which the Declaration would have had any philosophical connection with.  The Articles failed, which is why we have a Constitution. FAIL
