Why Liberals Fear the State Department’s Review of the Nature of Human Rights | The Heritage Foundation:

The entire edifice the left has built in the United States and abroad is based on a foundation of laws and policies that depart from defensible ideas about the natural rights of humans. Instead, we have been promoting compulsions that trample these rights.
America decided at its very beginning that the individual has unalienable rights to free speech, freedom of conscience, self-defense, private property (which is the physical manifestation of our labor), and so on.
Good governments secure these universal rights, while bad governments abridge them.
