Do criminals have too many rights? You better think carefully before you answer!

 

I don’t give a rat’s ass if my friends are conservative or liberal—what matters is our unwavering celebration of the Bill of Rights. These aren’t just lofty ideals; they are the backbone of our freedom. And yes, we must especially venerate the rights that some find inconvenient or annoying, those that protect the accused, the outcasts, and yes, even the guilty. Why? Because those same rights are the only shield standing between you and false allegations, torture, or even execution at the hands of a corrupt government.

Never—ever—give an inch on your rights. Not one. These freedoms were not gifted to us; they were bought with the blood of young men who fought and died to preserve them. Throwing away even a single right because it feels unnecessary or inconvenient is an insult to their sacrifice and a betrayal of everything they stood for.

Look at the world. In Syria, a repressive regime was toppled, only for its replacement to descend into the same darkness—or worse. That is the fate of people who fail to protect their freedoms, who allow their rights to be stripped away bit by bit. Don’t let that be us. Stand firm. Stand strong. Celebrate and defend all of your rights as if your life depends on it—because it does.
