The framers, our founders, specified that our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were endowed by our “Creator” for a reason… Any society that has ever held that the source of those rights was Man had failed, because if Man can give, Man can take away. Those rights endowed by the Creator are inalienable, thus intractable.
Those dead white guys knew what they were doing. Just because they are dead, and white, doesn’t make them wrong.
How Health Care will Lead to a Clothing Allowance
Elevating health care to a right, while laudable morally, is untenable legally, and here’s why: Everything will eligible to be health related. Just one scenario off the top of my head:
Naked, filthy, homeless guy sits on a park bench in the tonier section of Central Park in Manhattan where Katie Couric or Mika Brzezinski is playing frisbee with their kids. They want to sit down and sip some Fiji water. Only place to sit is on a bench just vacated by naked, filthy, homeless guy.
Ewwwww.
Presto. Clothing becomes an inaleanable right guaranteed under the Constitution.
Don’t think for a second that it couldn’t happen. Two years ago everyone was sure Hillary Clinton would be the next president.
Ten years ago it was unthinkable that we could be attacked by Islamic terrorists in the homeland.
One year ago, it was unthinkable that our nations debts/deficits could be “unsustainable,” our unemployment rate would be holding steady at +/- 10%, our President would be presiding over the takeover of banks, insurance companies, and car companies, outlawing privately issued school loans and centralizing them all federally in exchange for politically preferred public service, the criminal prosecution of our intelligence agents for giving a “black eye” to a known Islamic terrorist while providing Constitutional rights to KSM… Need I go on?
