Yes, but the more I re-read:

"You don't deny a poor person the right to be able to have whatever the constitution affords them if they can't afford it otherwise." [Kerry]

The more apparent is that Kerry is a communist. If in his mind, its a right, then a poor person cannot be denied just becasue they don't have the money...Housing, Food, Medical, Abortions.... "to each, according to their needs." The SOB is spouting Marxist philosopy, and it goes unnoticed.

Of course, I detest the SOB, so I split hairs...

The constitution gives you the right to drink alcohol. Does that mean the government must provide Jack Daniels to the poor?

I don't think you are splitting hairs.

What you are doing is more like sticking your finger in the hole in the dike, to stem back the flood until the dike can be repaired.

It's hard work that needs to be done, constantly, by dedicated people, because the Democrats are constantly drilling new holes.
