Do Human Rights Extend to Liberals? Not if You Ask Them
Politico journalist Heidi Pryzbyla recently found herself in hot water after making some bizarre statements on live television in an attempt to besmirch what she identifies as “Christian nationalism.”
“Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way … believe that our rights as Americans — as all human beings — don’t come from any earthly authority. … They come from God,” Pryzbyla said.

This obviously ignores some very concise statements from America’s Founding Fathers, such as the definitive line from the Declaration of Independence — “All men are created equal, [and] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”
Whether or not Pryzbyla intended to accuse the Founders of being Christian nationalists (which is certainly possible in this age of chronological snobbery), and whether or not the Founders actually were Christian nationalists, the underlying ethical quandary raised by her statements needs close examination.
