What is right about "rights"?

There have been so many instances lately where liberals have "shouted down" anyone who opposes them. This is the liberal tactic by the way, to control the narrative by shouting, not to win by debate. The liberals are shouting at conservatives because they believe conservatives want to restrict their rights to things like same sex marriage, abortion, marijuana, and so forth.

The conservatives shout back that the liberals are restricting their right to free speech by the protests. Do you see anything ironic in all of this? Is it the least bit strange that each side fights from a position of defending "their rights."

This situation is probably not surprising because the US Constitution strongly places "rights" at the forefront of our society and culture. We Americans are proud of standing on our rights. The problem we have is that human nature's idea of rights and the founding fathers view of rights are not exactly the same.

Liberals believe that we were granted by our Constitution the "Bill of Rights TO" get what we want. No, that's not what the Constitution says. That is what flawed human nature tells us, "we deserve it." The Constitution focuses right on our "rights FROM" the federal government dictating or intruding on our "right" to pursue our individual happiness. The liberties provided to us by The Constitution deal with the "right" to worship, speak, have guns, assemble, etc. without the government telling us what and how to do it.

So, why do conservatives claim that liberals are violating their Constitutional "rights" when they protest and constrain conservative rallies and speakers? Liberal citizens who protest are not the federal government, they are just bullies. Instead of crying "foul", "you are violating my rights", conservatives should change the narrative. Conservatives should call liberals "BULLIES", shine a light on their tactics for self-serving control. But don't make the conversation about the Constitution because protesters are not the Federal Government, who btw we are being protected from by the "Bill of Rights."

We can better control the narrative if we do more pondering first .....
