According to liberals, health care is a right to every citizen of the United States. And guess what, I agree, not quite like the right to bare arms or free speech because these rights are actually in the Constitution, but health care which is not mentioned in the constitution, if you want it, is a right. You just have pay for it like a gun or exercise it like free speech.

But for the sake of argument, let’s throw the Lefties a bone and, again for the sake of argument, say it’s in there, that it is a constitutional right to have health care, no matter what. That’s the lefties’ position. Duh, just listen to the morons on the senate floor of late.

O.K. Let’s proceed. If it is a right like gun and speech rights, let us use, I pick guns, to conduct an analogous examination. Shouldn’t congress be pushing for a national gun reform? Shouldn’t congress be pushing for every American to have a gun? Shouldn’t we be hearing Scary Reid lamenting over stories of poor Americans that struggle without guns because they can’t afford them while rich Americans have tons of guns. Shouldn’t we be hearing horrific stories of folks who couldn’t defend themselves because they couldn’t afford a gun? My God, how many Americans go without guns? Shouldn’t we hear Aunt Nancy proposing taxation of those who can afford guns to pay for those who can’t afford guns. I mean guns do save lives and we do have the right to have them? This right, unlike health care, is actually in the Constitution. But for arguments sake, we are making the assumption that health care is a Constitutional Right. So shouldn’t everybody be entitled to a gun and shouldn’t we be legislating affordability out of the equation? Certainly, if health care is a right, a Constitutional right according to the lefties, and therefore everybody is entitled, then it would be inconsistent to argue for a federal mandate that everybody gets health care, no matter who pays, while not at the same time arguing that everybody gets guns, no matter who pays. And shouldn’t congress and the President be screaming for a national over haul of gun rights? I mean a lot of folks don’t have guns, can’t even afford them, and if it is a right, like they say health care is, then shame on us, owning outstanding weapons while some folks go without. Shame on us. Let’s go further in our analogous argument. In fact, gun manufacturers are making money right now due to fear of the government. Folks are buying guns in record numbers and the gun manufacturers are making those evil things at the expense of those without, making lots of those evil villainous things. The villainous thing they are making is profits. Well, according to the liberal profits are villainous. Thus, we should tax the gun manufacturers and regulate them and tell them how to make, sell, and deliver guns. Heck, we should have a public gun manufacturer so that there is competition so that we can bring the cost of guns down and provide affordability to the masses. Right?

See my point? Guns are a right, not an entitlement. Free Speech is a right, not an entitlement. The right to remain silent is a right, not an entitlement; you have to exercise your right to remain silent and you have every right to do so, but you are not mandated by the government do so. People waive the right all the time.

Wait! I just stumbled on another somewhat stunning point. Under the Constitution it is perfectly appropriate to waive your right to remain silent but under the congressional health care reform you don’t have the right to waive your right to health care? Well actually you do. You don’t have to go to the doctor so you are in effect waiving your right to health care. What you don’t have the right to do under the pending congressional monolith is to not pay for it; actually under the current plans you don’t have the right to not pay for other peoples’ health care.

So, since according to the liberals who are so virtuous, caring, logical, and intellectual, health care is a right, a constitutional one at that (probably under the “pursuit of happiness” language.”). And since guns are a right, then how can they argue consistently against my implied proposal herein? They can’t. Well unless they throw logic, reason and consistency under the bus which they will do, then they can.

But again see my point. Now, having made my point which was to show the fundamental ridiculousness of the liberal agenda when it comes to health care, everything really, lets get to the truth of the matter. Here it is:

Health care is a right, just like guns, free speech, private property, and many others. Health care is not an entitlement. You have to pay for it. You have to earn it. You have to exercise the right. What you don’t have the right to do is to have somebody else pay for it, just like you don’t have the right to have somebody else pay for your guns. Here’s some more straight talk. The liberal agenda on health care is not about health care, it’s about the redistribution of wealth. It is taking from Peter to pay for Paul. It is also about government control of one sixth of the economy.

So fine, it’s a constitutional right to have health care? I’ll buy in. Mr. Government, will you buy me a new house, my neighbor has a better one? Mr. Government, will you buy me a new gun, my neighbor has a better one? It’s not fair, and guns and private property are rights, just like you say health care is, so what’s your problem with my request?

Wait, wait, my satire got ahead of me. It’s not about rights, that’s just a campaign slogan, it’s about redistribution and government control. Now I remember. Wait, wait, my recollection just caught up with me. Here’s an idea. Why don’t we buy everybody guns, houses, health care, anything that everybody wants, everybody shall have, and we’ll all be equal. Heck, if we do this right, we could be just like the U.S.S.R. But didn’t they go bankrupt?

That’s my Reetzality for the Day.

Thanks for the read.
