New State Dept. Office Welcomed

New State Dept. Office Welcomed

Although the Trump Administration has been focused diligently on shrinking the size of the federal government, news this week of the rare creation of a new office is hopeful and encouraging. The new office will be based in the State Department and Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated the “Office of Natural Rights” was created “in order to reclaim America’s founding principles against globalist ‘rights.’” Global, Leftist elites have always misunderstood or ignored the most important tenet of American government: our fundamental rights don’t come from government, they come from God. In connection with this principle, it is critically important to remember that whatever rights the government arbitrarily gives, it may also arbitrarily take away. That is why our Founding Fathers and the Framers of our Constitution made very certain that our fundamental rights are grounded solidly and irrevocably in natural law.
