Tennessee a Battleground Between Reds and Blues

This is only one battle.

Tennessee is the firewall between gun-grabbing DC radicals & the right to protect yourself. #StartingToday, law-abiding Tennesseans can legally carry a handgun without having a permit. #2A #NRA #112th

MacIntyre on Protests

This a modified excerpt from After Virtue, but since it was published with MacIntyre's position, one can assume that MacIntyre hasn't repudiated his position on natural rights.

Who Will Hold the Power?

The purposes are noble even if badly stated (inalienable human right), but the means are utopian.

We need a system of global governance that recognizes the global commons -- forests, rivers, insects, biodiversity, and soil -- as an inalienable human right. https://t.co/w4lxQXapKc

Revolution Hiding Behind Rights Language

Decouple the language of rights from their theological foundation and rights become mere assertions. https://t.co/ZCpqjrqLSR

Keys to the Progressive Kingdom by Mark Mitchell

A new definition of justice/rights that supplants traditional morality. Is a Christian intellectual justification necessary for justice/rights? Or merely a Christian political order?

Very Sloppy

This doesn't even rise to the level of moral theologizing, as there is no attempt to analyze the proof text for the relevant principles and a determination of their application to the current situation.

How Do We Derive Rights?

NCReg: A.A.J. DeVille: Did God give man ‘right to bear arms’? By A.A.J. DeVille

Let us grant that "rights" are not immediately given in Tradition. Is it possible that they can be derived by reason, using premises from Tradition or the Natural Law? 

Deville refers to Vatican II and John Paul II, as though the documents can be considered exhaustive or authoritative. They can't -- because we are dealing with moral philosophy or moral theology, and not Tradition.
