The Myth of Human Rights according to Thomas Fleming

Thomas Fleming's book, The Normality of Everyday Life, claims that the theory of rights is a superstition. Fleming says, "Ask where rights come from, they will either refer to a mystical story such as the wondrous tale of the social contract, or following Calvin, they will dismiss all criticism by saying that everybody knows what rights are." He says that if there is a convincing proof of the existence origin of rights that he had never heard of it, that rights one must conclude are to be taken on faith, and only by those who profess to have no religion. The book says that there are two American spokesmen for rights: Thomas Paine versus Thomas Jefferson. The educated Jefferson traced the theory of natural rights through the struggle between a king and a parliament, and to the Magna Carta, and ultimately to the Anglo-Saxons who lived in freedom before the Norman Conquest.  Whereas with the uneducated Thomas Paine, thought that we were free and invented imaginary societies ...

Full Transcript of Dr. Mazza's interview with John-Henry Westen: "[On] Bp Schneider's statement, I can't think of a statement in 2,000 years of Catholic history that is more un-Catholic than to say that the Pope can teach grievous error and even be a flaming heretic. And not only that, but there's nothing we can do, we just have to live with it."

Dr. Mazza interview with John-Henry Westen: What Church History REVEALS About Leo’s Pontificate: Burke, Miriam & Schneider’s Analysis ... ... Mother Miriam, Bishop Schneider, and Cardinal Burke all maintain that Pope Leo XIV is the legitimate pope, despite criticizing aspects of his teaching. But church historian Ed Mazza argues that the more fundamental question is whether the current pope is truly a valid pope at all. Drawing on Church history, councils, theologians, and papal writings, Mazza contends that the Catholic Church has consistently taught that a pope cannot officially teach heresy through the Church's magisterium. Accepting the idea of a pope promulgating doctrinal error while remaining pope creates a theological contradiction. Historical debates over heretical popes and antipopes are not abstract; they are precedents. W e thank Dr. Ed Mazza and LifeSite News' John Henry Westen for giving The Catholic Monitor permission to post a transcription of the show and...

Poll Finds that a Third of Democratic Voters Now Identify as Democratic Socialists & RJ Shaw: Well, according to the Democratic Socialists, they would be in prison because they're oppressed peoples. 15:3715 minutes, 37 secondsThat's why you got to abolish the prisons. They're just being oppressed by a capitalist system. That's why they went to prison. No other reason. So, of course, give them back their full right 15:4515 minutes, 45 secondsto vote. Under the section, the next section, it is a real democracy. It says, "For the working class to govern, 15:5215 minutes, 52 secondswe need a new political system. End political corruption and legalized bribery. Get rid of lobbyists, dark 16:0216 minutes, 2 secondsmoney, and Citizens United, and publicly finance all elections." And oh, by the way, if you're thinking to yourself, 16:1016 minutes, 10 seconds"Well, that sounds good." How do they plan to do that? Well, that's what they say next. They plan to do that by abolishing the electoral college, 16:1816 minutes, 18 secondsreplacing the president and supreme court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. 16:3016 minutes, 30 secondsThis is me reading what they're actually saying. I'm not paraphrasing here. 16:3316 minutes, 33 secondsAbolish the electoral college. Replace the president and the Supreme Court with an expanded Congress. And then they go on to talk about a Democratic Congress. 16:4216 minutes, 42 secondsThat's the next section. What does this new Congress look like? It says, "Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy, expand the House 16:5116 minutes, 51 secondsof Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and 16:5916 minutes, 59 secondsabolish the Senate." So, what does this new democracy look like? Because remember, a little ways up, they said 17:0717 minutes, 7 secondsthey need to fundamentally change the entire system. This new system looks like getting rid of the president, getting rid of the Supreme Court, 17:1417 minutes, 14 secondsgetting rid of the Senate, and expanding the House of Representatives. So basically, all you have left is the House of Representatives. There are no 17:2117 minutes, 21 secondschecks and balances at all because that's what the tripart system is about. 17:2617 minutes, 26 secondsYou have Congress, which itself has a check and balance in itself from the House of Representatives and the Senate. 17:3417 minutes, 34 secondsBut Congress is checked by the president and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is checked by Congress and the president. The president is checked by 17:4217 minutes, 42 secondsCongress and the Supreme Court. I don't know. Maybe I'm just way off base here. 17:4617 minutes, 46 secondsMaybe I don't understand. But if you get rid of everything else besides the House of Representatives, what do you got? We got no checks and balances whatsoever. 17:5417 minutes, 54 secondsI'm not entirely sure how they plan to replace the two-party system with a multi-partied system because the two-party system was what the people 18:0318 minutes, 3 secondschose. There used to be a multi-party system. It was just people whittle down all the parties to two parties and if they want to choose other parties they 18:1018 minutes, 10 secondscan do so. So I'm assuming again this is me assuming here I'm assuming they're going to legislate it in some way which is to say oh that house of 18:1818 minutes, 18 secondsrepresentatives well the parties that you can vote for in that house of representatives will be chosen by the government. Gee that's going to work out 18:2718 minutes, 27 secondswell. What do you think looking at history? Can you see that working out so well in history especially you know the last century in I don't know USSR sure 18:3618 minutes, 36 secondsin China now sure that works out beautifully and again this was one of the parts which they covered on the news which they said you really want to do 18:4318 minutes, 43 secondsthis to get rid of the presidency to get rid of the Supreme Court to end the Senate the representative for the democratic socialist of America said yes
