Biden Said Americans “Yield” Their Rights to Government.

Well, I guess the left wouldn't see it that way. How many on that list were left leaning? Don't you see the skew?
 
Yes, we choose to yield to the gov as opposed to the gov owning us upon birth.

We have inalienable rights and choose to yield other powers. If we didn't yield any power, not a road would have been built. Gov needs such power, like eminent domain, to do much of anything.

Remarks by President Biden in Press Conference | The White House

Hôtel du Parc des Eaux-VivesGeneva, Switzerland 7:20 P.M. CEST THE PRESIDENT: It’s been a long day for you all. (Laughs.) I know it was easy getting into the — the pre-meeting. There was no problem getting through those doors, was it — was there? Anyway, hello, everyone. Well, I’ve just...

I told him that, unlike other countries, including Russia, we’re uniquely a product of an idea. You’ve heard me say this before, again and again, but I’m going to keep saying it. What’s that idea? We don’t derive our rights from the government; we possess them because we’re born — period. And we yield them to a government.

I have to decide if the OP is incapable of reading and understanding simple concepts, or just posts any crap that comes to mind.

Maybe a bit of both.

I imagine most third graders can read the above and come to a better understanding than the OP. How many of these bs threads exist right now?

Um, you do realize were talking about human rights? Like due process, against excessive search and seizures?

You can yield your rights if you want, but don't give away mine.

Why would I give away the rights I was born with to the government?

I think it is YOU who doesn't understand.

JJoke Biden said something very dangerous in Geneva that doesn’t seem to be getting much coverage anywhere. He didn’t even correct himself if this was just another gaffe. Biden flat out said that Americans yield their rights to the government. WHAT THE HELL? I’ll be damned if I’ll yield anything to the corrupt government, let alone my right.

I watched Biden say this and did not hear anything about yielding human rights. In fact, I heard just the opposite. What I heard was that we choose to yield to the gov things that enable the gov to govern. This contrasts the Soviet system. Perhaps you watched the FOX version or read the Bill Barr summary?

Try agian. Multiple times in the video he talked about human rights. The rights he was talking about is human rights.

Doesn't matter where the source is from. His words are coming from his lips the same as Fox or CNN.

I would say you need a better source. This article is a lie or a half truth at best.

Can you disprove the actual words rather than just attacking the source?

Hes more of a hit and run poster. He refutes the source, rather than the evidence, then leaves without explaining why.

Because if he did, his argument would fall apart.

The bumbling, mumbling dude giving the speech is the President, not the Fox reporter. Human rights, I'm not yielding them to the government.

Bidens speech:
Human rights is going to always be on the table,” I told him. It’s not about just going after Russia when they violate human rights. It’s about who we are. How could I be the president of the United States of America and not speak out against the violation of human rights?

I told him that unlike other countries, including Russia, we’re uniquely a product of an idea. You’ve heard me say this before again and again, but I’m going to keep saying it. What’s that idea? We don’t derive our rights from the government. We possess them because we’re born period and we yield them to a government. The forum I pointed out to him that that’s why we’re going to raise our concerns about cases like Alexei Navalny. I made it clear to President Putin that we’ll continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights because that’s what we are

Biden has no qualms for us to give our human rights to the government.

Well, since I cannot pull down the tray and snort a line of coke on a commercial airliner, I'd say he's right. No?

Biden, what a moron. Talks about human rights and expects Americans to yield rights to the government. The very reason why human rights are violated.
Click to expand...
The American people yielded certain rights, such as vigilantism, in order to form a constitutional government that established justice, insured domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare and secure our property rights.

Biden was speaking the language of the founding fathers and John Locke's social contract theory.

So what did he say, then?

The transcript of the the speech he gave is here. The salient portions are quoted below:

www.whitehouse.gov

Remarks by President Biden in Press Conference | The White House

Hôtel du Parc des Eaux-VivesGeneva, Switzerland 7:20 P.M. CEST THE PRESIDENT: It’s been a long day for you all. (Laughs.) I know it was easy getting into the — the pre-meeting. There was no problem getting through those doors, was it — was there? Anyway, hello, everyone. Well, I’ve just...
www.whitehouse.gov www.whitehouse.gov

I also told him that no President of the United States could keep faith with the American people if they did not speak out to defend our democratic values, to stand up for the universal rights and fundamental freedoms that all men and women have, in our view. That’s just part of the DNA of our country.

So, human rights is going to always be on the table, I told him. It’s not about just going after Russia when they violate human rights; it’s about who we are. How could I be the President of the United States of America and not speak out against the violation of human rights?

I told him that, unlike other countries, including Russia, we’re uniquely a product of an idea. You’ve heard me say this before, again and again, but I’m going to keep saying it. What’s that idea? We don’t derive our rights from the government; we possess them because we’re born — period. And we yield them to a government.

And so, at the forum, I pointed out to him that that’s why we’re going raise our concerns about cases like Aleksey Navalny. I made it clear to President Putin that we’ll continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights because that’s what we are, that’s who we are. The idea is: “We hold these truths self-evident that all men and women…” We haven’t lived up to it completely, but we’ve always widened the arc of commitment and included more and more people.

I do not find them offensive in the slightest. These are true statements that are spoken regularly by Americans of all political stripes, because it is made in reference to social contract theory, which goes to the legitimacy of government being based on the consent of the governed. We are born with our freedoms inherent in us by virtue of our humanity. A legitimate government exists to protect those freedoms, but in order to do so, we give up some measure of our absolute freedoms to the government in order to ensure our other rights. For example, we give up our right to private vengeance or the freedom to commit violence in order that we may be protected from misplaced vengeance and violence from others.
