Rights don't work in degrees though. For example, no one has a sort of right to control his own property as he sees fit.

It's also worth noting that governments don't give us our rights - they're inherent in our nature as human beings.

When a government declares that its citizens have the right to free speech, they mean it with the caveat of "as long as they're not a threat to our continued rule". The fact that's exactly how they operate can be seen throughout history.
