Santorum: Rights are God Given, Not Government Given

AmSpec:

Rick Santorum had an excellent answer on a question from the audience about how faith would influence his decisions.

He didn't so much talk about his own faith but focused on the bigger picture. He described The Constitution as the how (or how to manual) but the Declaration of Independence is the why and thus our rights are God given, not government given.

Santorum pointed out that if you believe rights are government given then all those rights can be taken away by government.

Very nicely put.
