Levin: Unraveling America's legal beginnings

Despite what the reprobates and historical illiterates on the left will have you think, our founding fathers drew on the philosophy that our inalienable rights derive from natural law — God.

But it’s not always out of malice.

Rather, it’s mostly because “they’re not very bright,” Mark Levin says, noting that the media is one of the worst offenders.

“The media in this country, they abuse their authority. They lie and they try and preach the radical left agenda,” Levin says.

And a reporter on MSNBC is proving Levin right.

“There’s many different groups orbiting Trump, but the thing that reunites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different, is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority, they don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court, they come from God,” the Politico reporter said.

“Obviously, she doesn’t know a damn thing about American history,” Levin says.

At the time that the country was founded, John Locke was the most important philosopher. He spoke at length about free will, the individual, unalienable rights, natural rights, and natural law — just like the great Aristotle.

“He talked about natural law, which is a universal law,” Levin explains. “In other words, murder is wrong, whether a man passes a law or not.”

“Morality does not come from man; morality comes from a higher authority,” he adds.

This is what our country was founded on because our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.

“That’s the modern-day Democrat Party, that man gives us rights and privileges and we need the right man,” Levin says, adding that “it’s a very dangerous ideology, and it’s preposterous.”
