RIGHTS

During the debate last night, Barack Obama was asked if he though health care was a “right.” He said he thought it was a right.

Well, if you accept that premise, you can ask some logical follow-up questions. For instance, food is more important than health care… you die pretty quickly without food. Do we have a “right” to food in America? What about shelter? Do we have a “right” to housing? And if we have a right to housing, what standard of housing do we have a right to? And if it is a right — due to all Americans — doesn’t that mean that no one should have to accept housing, or health care, that is inferior to anyone else’s, since it’s a right?

Do we have a right to be safe? Do we have a right to be comfortable? Do we have a right to wide-screen televisions? Where does this end?

And it goes from there!

I think this one is actually very good. And it’s free, with no registration is required. I’d like to thank www.PJTV.com for making this available at no charge. If you register you can leave feedback, and if you want to thank them for being my new employers and paying me to do this stuff, that would be the place to do it.

I’m grateful!

(BTW, I did an interview with Michelle Malkin that was a LOT of fun. That’s available too, for subscribers.)

UPDATE: I also submitted this to National Review Online, which was kind enough to post it. If you prefer the written version, you can find it here.

ANOTHER UPDATE! I knew when I saw more profanity in two posts than I had in the previous two years that Leftists have arrived! Welcome DAILY KOS readers! You will be able to tell the exact moment Kos linked to this site by the change from the comments section being a detailed and thoughtful look at the Rights of Man to the arrival of the first F Bomb. God, I wish I could have you guys here daily, simply to illuminate how shallow and demented the left really is.

I named this blog Eject! Eject! Eject! because of the disgust I felt for what once had been called “classical liberalism” had become. Daily Kos is a sewer of rage and ignorance unilluminated by… well, anything.

Finally, let me just add that the coward that wrote the Kos entry uses a pseudonym, because like all Marxists he hasn’t the courage to put his name to what he believes. The Founding Fathers, on the other hand, put their names to documents that would have cost them their lives, had they lost. That is a fundamental issue of integrity, which both he and I understand very well, although from different sides.
