"Rights or Privileges"

What is our Constitution, what does the Constitution mean and who does the Constitution apply to? Our Constitution of the United States of America was put in place by our founding fathers. Our founding fathers created the Constitution to make sure that our country was never ran by a tyrannical government. Liberals are always attacking the Constitution and talking about negative Liberty. There is no such thing as a negative Liberty. We all strive for liberty and freedom and thats what makes us a great nation. How can Liberty and Freedom be negative? People have the freedom and liberty to achieve anything they want to achieve in life and in the pursuit of happiness. These negative liberties they are referring to are the amendments that limit the power of government. The First Amendment, gives us the freedom of speech and it also tells what the government can and can't do to be or not be in violation of our freedom of speech. The 2nd amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms. It also tells what the government can and can't do to be or not be in violation of our right to bear arms and so on and so on.. To them, these are considered negative Liberties because it limits government from infringing upon our natural God given rights. The average joe, doesn't understand the difference between a privilege and a right and are quick to shove their rights down the drain to obtain privileges given by government. An example of this would be, ( Well you have a right to bear arms, but in order to carry your firearm you need a permit ) So now, this is saying if you get a permit you will have a privilege to carry your firearm. This is already your right, but you are abiding by a law that is not truly a law and throwing away your right to obtain a privilege. The Constitution applies to all American citizens no matter their race, sex, or religion. The Constitution limits Government from stealing your rights, but the Government goes and makes amendments to give them false authority to take your rights and replace them with privileges that are interpreted laws to extort money from you when you don't comply. We are allowing the government to govern themselves when it is 100% We The People's duty to govern them. This is like letting the fox patrol the hen house to keep other foxes out. Or when the foxes get in and eat the hens, we leave it up to the foxes that ate the hens to punish themselves for eating the hens. This just does not work! Its time we inform our youth about what the constitution really means and that its not just some old outdated paper that isn't cool. Its our past, our present, and our future!
