Our rights do not originate with government, but they are to be "secured" by government.

It is a waste of time to provide logical arguments to liberals.

Honest debate about political issues is impossible because of the irrationality of liberal doctrine. When a person’s principles are demonstrably based upon fallacy and devoid of rationale; all their rhetoric and precepts lead to their proffered result regardless of how they must torture logic, it borders on idiocy to engage that individual. Many of these individuals are so devoted to their core Beliefs, that regardless of how deeply irrational or perverse those beliefs are they cling to them the same way an alcoholic clings to the bottle.

Fervent Supports of Barrack Hussein Obama and his policies now openly advocate fascist, Marxist, and socialist policies into our political process. The history of the last century clearly show that when these ideas are implemented, individual freedom and liberty are eliminated and millions of people are eliminated (leaders to implement these ideas include Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler). They all implemented state control of education, healthcare, and industry.

Obama’s history, personal associations, and years of rhetoric in Chicago and national politics show him to be a fascist who wants to implement single payer health care. He has instituted more “Czar’s” than any president in history, positions that skirt the constitution. These unelected people, un-accountable to the senate or the people can and do institute policy, when exposed are extreme socialists and communists, who believe the ruling elite know better what “we the people” need than we do ourselves. Obama is a smart man; he has only been doing what he believed he could get away with. He has succeeded in taking over our largest banks and two of the Big Three auto manufactures, and wants government control of our health services industry. What has succeeded has been due to our widespread apathy and ignorance. The only reason government control of health care hasn’t been rammed down our throats yet is due to his miscalculations.

Considering health care, good people with their heart in the right place see that some people in the US suffer because they cannot afford the best health services the USA has to offer. They read about millions of people who are hurt by our current system due to no fault of their own, and feel something should be done. They falsely assume that people without health insurance don’t have health care. When you eliminate those who can but choose not to purchase insurance, the poor who qualify for existing programs but choose not to participate, and illegal aliens, the 40 million people without insurance in the USA actually equates to 10 million who fall through the cracks. The governments own numbers say that if the current Democrat proposed health care plans are implemented there will still be about 10 million who fall through the cracks. 10 million people is about 3% of our population, that means that 97% of our people receive health care; 80% of the population is satisfied with their health care (including those without insurance).

People who can and have need of the most advanced medical services fly to the USA to receive those services, they don’t fly to Canada, England, or Cuba. In Canada you can get a diagnostic MRI in 24 hours, if you’re a dog, otherwise you have to wait months. There are countless stories of people in countries with government controlled single payer health care who die waiting for treatment, or come to the USA and pay for it themselves. Compare medical innovations discovered and perfected in the USA to the rest of the world. The evidence is overwhelming when government controls and provides medical services to everybody for free, the results are less innovation, rationing of services, poorer services, and shortages.

In general, good people with their heart in the right place, see that some people in the US suffer; they in good conscience don’t want others to suffer. Nobody of good heart wants to see others suffer. With few exceptions most people or their children suffer because of their own decisions. The USA with its constitution which limits the government not the people, a country with no class system, where what your father did has no bearing on what you as an individual may accomplish, is a country which had more liberty and freedom for individuals to succeed than any other in history. With the liberty to advance from a business in your garage to the mighty Apple Inc., also comes the liberty to fail. The capitalistic system allows each individual to be rewarded based on how his fellow citizens value the service he provides through private exchange of services and money. The people have determined that the services and products Bill Gates, as provided are worth more than the services and products provided by your local grocery store bag boy. That’s why college dropout Bill gates is a gazillionaire and the bag boy makes minimum wage. But there is nothing stopping the bag boy from becoming another Bill Gates. Even persons with poor natural talent, bad looks, and low IQ like Rush Limbaugh can parley republican shtick into a fortune.

For some inexplicable reason liberals don’t want anybody to suffer the consequences of bad decisions they make. They don’t want persons who choose to drop out of school rather than apply themselves to suffer with poor wages that make their standard of living less. They don’t want person who chooses not to save for retirement to suffer poverty in old age. They don’t want the person who chooses not to purchase insurance to suffer the financial consequences of a severe illness or accident. They don’t want those who borrow more than they can repay to suffer foreclosure. They don’t even want the investors in big private businesses to suffer the loss of poor management. When people say that “no one should die because they cannot afford health care and not one should go broke because they get sick”, they are saying nobody should suffer the consequences of the risks they choose to take.

Worse yet for some inexplicable reason statists want to punish those whose decisions have lead them to success. Rather than have all in society pay taxes proportionally to what they are paid by society, they disproportionally tax those who succeed, and reward those who fail. It is twisted, why should anybody who doesn’t pay taxes get a tax “refund”? They want those whose choices have enabled them to provide for themselves to pay for the bad choices of others. The reasoned conclusion is that statists don’t believe that people can make decisions about their own lives; that some “leaders” know better what decisions individuals should make. The only logical conclusion is that they don’t believe in Liberty or Freedom, because to have liberty not only does one have the freedom to succeed but must be allowed suffer the consequences of exercising their liberty.

Christ said “There will always be the poor”, that is because God also gave us free will. Some people will make poor choices. The American people can and do take care of those who through no fault of their own, cannot take care of themselves. After the Tsunami the American people privately send more money and supplies than any other country, much less what we did through our government. St. Jude’s Hospital and the many Shriner Hospitals take care of children for free, the most effective aid after Katrina didn’t come from FEMA it came from private industry, churches, and individuals who willingly volunteered and sacrificed to help those in need.

Good liberals ignore history, and the wisdom passed down through the ages. They forget that it is because of suffering that we learn to make good choices. People learn through both reward and suffering, both individually and as a society. A child quickly learns through suffering that touching a hot stove is a bad choice. The first settlers to the USA established a communal society, where everybody had an equal share to everything society produced, the result was that many starved to death, and the first colony to the USA was nearly wiped out. By reestablishing individual private property rights, and the right to reap the benefits of good choices and hard work, and suffer the consequences of poor choices and laziness, the colony soon flourished. As a society early colonists learned that communal property and everybody being given what they need regardless of what they provide to society results in all of society suffering. In more modern history the former USSR and communists of the last century taught the world that socialism and communism lead to tens of millions of deaths and a lower standard of living for all but the ruling elite. The rule of law, property rights, capitalism and liberty has lead to the highest standard of living in history, where even the poor have color TV, AC, and microwave ovens. Compare the amount of freedom a country has to the standards of living of the people of that country and there is a direct corollary. The freer a country is the higher the standard of living that country has.

It is a fallacy to think that nobody should suffer the financial effects of an illness or accident. People only suffer the financial effects of an illness or accident because they or their legal guardians fail to prepare for it. Regardless of facts, of history, of reality, of reason, or of logic liberals desperately want nobody to suffer. To try and alleviate the suffering of a few they are willing to destroy the liberty of all. Or they are elitists who think that they know what’s best for everybody and are willing to destroy the liberty of all for what they think is best. In either case freedom and liberty have been removed from the liberals’ vocabulary.
