   Obamacare ensures healthcare is a right

   This week the Obama administration did not want to “celebrate” its   
   biggest achievement – the passage of universal healthcare … something   
   that Democrats had been clamoring to do for generations. Why didn’t they   
   want to celebrate their achievement? Because the American people don’t   
   like it. In an election year, it’s not politically expedient to celebrate   
   something that the majority of Americans don’t support. But to point this   
   out is “knuckleheaded reporting,” according to chief propagandist Jay   
   Carney.   
      
   It also may not be wise to celebrate a law, which is being reviewed by   
   the Supreme Court starting on Monday! Our guy Jamie Dupree will actually   
   be sitting in on the historic ObamaCare hearings next week! Hopefully   
   this time he won’t be behind a pillar.   
      
   Ahead of the Supreme Court hearings, Princess Pelosi is confident that   
   ObamaCare honors the “vows of our founders.” She calls the legislation   
   “ironclad constitutionally.” I guess we will have to wait and see what   
   the Supreme Court has to say about that. Pelosi is also the loon who said   
   that ObamaCare would produce hundreds of thousands of jobs almost   
   immediately, and perhaps her most famous statement of all, we were going   
   to have to pass the 3000 page bill so we could find out what’s in it.   
   Amazing.   
      
   At the heart of Democrats’ fondness for ObamaCare is their belief that   
   healthcare is a right. Princess Pelosi recently made that abundantly   
   clear: “After 100 years of trying, finally we passed health care for all   
   Americans as a right for all — not just a privilege for a few. It honored   
   the vows of our founders: Of life, a healthier life; liberty; the freedom   
   to pursue our own happiness.”   
      
   Healthcare is now a right for all? Really? You know what this means,   
   don’t you? It means that you have the right to harness the police power   
   of government for the purpose of depriving another of either a portion of   
   their life or some of their property … whatever it takes .. in order to   
   fulfill your “right” to health care. You have a RIGHT to it, thanks to   
   Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. She goes on: "A healthier life, the liberty   
   to pursue happiness, free of the constraints that lack of healthcare   
   might provide to a family. If you want to be a photographer, a writer, an   
   artist, a musician, you can do so. If you what to start a business, if   
   you want to change jobs, under the Affordable Care Act, you have that   
   liberty to pursue your happiness."   
      
   Amazing, don’t you think? If you want to be an artist, or a musician …   
   maybe even a tiresome poet … and you have to deal with pesky little   
   problems like actually having to earn a living so that you can afford   
   your health care … you simply tell the government to go find someone else   
   who has live their life more responsibly than you … and take that   
   person’s money or property away from them, at the point of a gun, if   
   necessary, and use that money to pay for your health care so that you can   
   play your cello or write your poems. Yeah … that’s certainly the way   
   American is supposed to work. That’s just what our founding fathers   
   envisioned.   
      
   And then there’s the birth control thing. How, pray tell, did we get to   
   the point that a woman who wants to have sex, but who doesn’t want to be   
   out of pocket for her condoms or other forms of birth control, can tell   
   you that you have an obligation to play for her birth control pills? It’s   
   her right! Hand over the money! That’s were we are in America today …   
   women have a right to demand that someone else pay for their birth   
   control so that they can have sex without fear of becoming pregnant.   
      
   Come to think of it … considering some of the women who are making those   
   demands, perhaps some conservative group should form an organization that   
   will provide women with all the birth control they could possibly need …   
   with one requirement. The woman must be a registered Democrat or must   
   have an Obama 2012 bumper sticker on her car. Providing these women with   
   birth control would be a genuine public service.
