US Senator Rejects the Judeo-Christian Foundation of America
7th September 2025
This week, a U.S. senator from Virginia flatly rejected the central principle of the Declaration of Independence.
“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,” Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat who ran for vice president alongside Hillary Clinton, said during a confirmation hearing Wednesday. “It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’is, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. And they do it because they believe they understand what natural rights are from their creator.”
“The notion that our rights do not come from our laws or our government should make people very, very nervous,” Kaine said.
