You're right, it's the negative vs positive rights thing. So there for sure is a difference, and the stance that the government's purpose is to protect the rights of the empowered and to hell with anything that helps anyone else is a consistent viewpoint that I just strongly disagree with.

I dunno. Seems like the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, and the 1st amendment rights for speech and religion (just to name a few) do more than just protect the empowered. Do you disagree?
