During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing a couple days ago, Senator Tim Kaine (D) of Virginia decided to throw out the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, the same Declaration that says we are “endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”
According to Kaine, that’s not true.
“The notion that our rights do not come from our laws or our government should make people very, very nervous,” Kaine said.
And then, with a straight face, he added: “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes.”
Let that sink in. The idea that God gives us rights — a belief shared by Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Lincoln, King, Reagan — Kaine compares to the Ayatollahs.
This isn’t just ignorance. It’s dangerous.
Because if our rights come from government, then government can take them away. That’s not liberty — that’s tyranny with a smile. And you should be very, very nervous when a sitting U.S. senator says otherwise.
In fact, what Kaine is really proposing is nothing short of overturning the American Revolution itself.
Remember, the whole point of 1776 was telling King George III: Sorry, our rights don’t come from you.
Yet here’s Senator Kaine, two and a half centuries later, offering the King a belated victory. “Congratulations, Your Majesty — you finally won.”
It just took 250 years and a Democrat from Virginia to hand you the crown back.
A Virginia Democrat from all places.
Look at the names of these Virginian heroes of the American Revolution:
· Washington: Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and the first President.
· Jefferson: Author of the Declaration of Independence, the very document Kaine contradicted.
· Madison: Father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
· Henry: Famous for the cry, “Give me liberty or give me death!”
Virginia was the beating heart of the Revolution!
To have a Virginia senator today dismiss the idea of God-given rights is like a Massachusetts senator sneering at the Boston Tea Party, or a Texan denouncing the Alamo. It’s not just wrong, it’s historically tone-deaf.
Predictably, Kaine’s remarks lit a firestorm. Senator Ted Cruz wasted no time reminding him of America’s founding creed. Bishop Robert Barron called his comments flatly “anti-American.”
Commentators across the board noted that Kaine’s worldview doesn’t just erase God from the public square — it rewrites the entire foundation of American freedom.
But notice what Kaine revealed.
This is the progressive project laid bare: replace God with government. Pretend rights don’t come from the Creator, but from politicians.
Because once government is the giver of rights, government can decide who is “worthy” of them. And if you’ve watched Washington for the past decade, you know exactly where that ends.
Here’s the truth Kaine can’t stand: America was built on the radical belief that no king, no tyrant, no government can take away the rights God has already given.
That’s why we fought a revolution. That’s why we’re free.
Tim Kaine wants to trade that away. He wants you to believe that your rights are on loan from Washington, D.C. — and subject to recall at any moment.
No, Senator. Our rights don’t come from you. They don’t come from Congress. They don’t come from government.
They come from God Almighty, and no amount of revisionist history can change that.
And if you think otherwise, you’re not defending America. You’re dismantling it.
