It is taken for granted (by, for example, Libertarians and the Founding 
Fathers) that people have a natural right to their lives, liberty, and 
property. War, violence, and injustice result when some try to take away 
the lives, liberty, or property of others.

The concepts cross all cultures, languages, and religions. Dharma is the 
Hindu term for natural law, and Tao is the Chinese term for it.

Their position is that White Gentiles (and in some cases White 
non-Slavic Gentiles) are racially superior to everyone else. Nationalism 
has nothing to do with it.

Nonsense. We had Ku Klux Klansmen before there was substantial Jewish 
immigration in the late 19th century.

My position is that Euro-American culture (which embodies Natural Law) 
IS superior to other cultures, although race and ethnicity have nothing 
to do with it. Japan has, for example, adopted Euro-American culture.
