All our rights come from Government
such sacrilege, and heresy
What? No where is that said or even been insinuated. The Constitution was meant to protect natural rights nowhere does it or anyone mentioned in this thread even hint that rights come from government.
Why don't you listen to a little bit of the videos or read some of the PDF and then make a more pertinent comment?

Wow this is so far from the truth I don't know where to start.
First of all, the rights in the Constitution were put there to protect people from the Constitution which they wouldn't need if they hadn't made it.
Therefore the Constitution takes away freedoms, it doesn't give them to you. Before this document all the power was within the States and the people, the Constitution literally stripped these away and gave it to the federal government which is why they had to add "some" protections for the people.
They initially didn't even want to include the Bill of Rights but Jefferson was going to walk with enough States that the Constitution would not be ratified so they had to add them in.
