My comparison is more apt.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

I wonder if the Health and Human Services Secretary realizes that her analogy actually undermines the notion that free health care is a right?

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So, would loooooove to see the passage in the Constitution which states that US citizens have a RIGHT to own a tv LOL.
Stupid is as stupid does
OOPs, headline is misleading.... watched the video. KS states that since some people go to the ER and don’t pay for the services all citizens should have to pay for insurance... all according to the commerce clause!
Make mine a 60 inch flat screen.
>So, would loooooove to see the passage in the Constitution which states that US citizens have a RIGHT to own a tv LOL.<
Sure it does...right underneath the line where liberals emphatically claim that firearms are for law enforcement only.
Her analogy doesn’t make any sense. It is the non sequiteur of all non sequituers.
Weeeellll then, since I don’t own a TV I guess I can opt out of Bammycare.
Where does she stand on the right to sing the blues and the right to cable TV?
Sebelius is an animate non-sequitur.
My comparison is more apt.
We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden, delusional, and other liberal pinko commie bed-wetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights.
ARTICLE I — You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II — You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means the freedom for everyone, not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III — You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful. Do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV — You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generations of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V — You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice but, from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in government run health care.
ARTICLE VI — You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII — You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII — You don’t have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won’t lift a finger to stop you from going to fight, if you’d like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX — You don’t have the right to a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE X — You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness — which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered (unhindered, unchallenged) by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
Is this right greater or lesser than my right to rob a bank because I don’t have a bank account?
27” TV for the Superbowl...
I had one of those back in the 70s.
Most excellent.
Democrats and the rest of the liberals would try to gag you should you publish such “hateful” ideas.
I am not going to your Camp!
Whoopee! A right to own a TV, and a right to have the government make me buy one! What a country!
Are these really highly educated people? This is scary stuff!
“Democrats and the rest of the liberals would try to gag you should you publish such “hateful†ideas.”
Too late. ;)
It’s all over the internet., it’s title is “Bill of No Rights”. It’s not known who the original author is and it’s been around for quite a while, but it’s particularly appropriate today, under the Obama administration, to remind people.
