Honorable intentions tend to camouflage cause and effect and replace it with emotion and hysteria. Let's pretend the most honest and sincere man in the world is elected ruler. Who would argue that this is a bad thing? Let's pretend that this man does all the right things. Who would argue that this is a bad thing? And, let's pretend because he is such an honest, sincere ...

You say you can't afford to give healthcare to everyone else all by your lonesome. But, that doesn't mean everything that follows in your argument, any solution you conjur up, is somehow magically right and I'm magically wrong, Just because you can't imagine an alternative to your perceived injustice ...

You ask to live on the other side and since there is plenty of room, I say sure. In the coming years your family grows so large that you can no longer care for them and you come over to my side of the island demanding I hunt your food for you. Socialism is that simple, and that wrong. Kaptainsteve/Swamp-Ass.com Digg This!

As he has saId, the time has come for revolution, a Patrick Henry type of revolution. I will call names and be nasty, no more nice guy. Everyone is free to buy anyone the healthcare they want and save all the lives they desire. But what gives ANYONE the right to loot my money to do it? How is taking what belongs to me, and giving it to others to whom it does not belong, kindness? ...

Henry Louis Mencken" I want to ask all of you Obama & ObamaCare supporters ONE question, and I want you to be honest with yourselves before you answer. Why don't all of you like-minded philanthropists VOLUNTARILY form your own co-op to pool all of YOUR resources and give healthcare to whomever YOU please or do you LOOTERS just want to FORCE me to be involved because need my labor to finance ...

There is a similar thing in government where that in almost every case, whatever the intention of a new law is, the outcome is opposite. This is because central planning is simply just too far removed from everything that's important to work well. There are too many layers in between you, your desires and your needs, and government. How can government know what is best for you than you do? You are closer to your ...

I only said, 'I want to be let alone.' There is all the difference." She is dead-on. I want to be let alone to. I have nothing against the desires of other people to do good, but I want to be let alone. Charity and philanthropy are a wonderful thing that make lots of people feel good inside and good for them! But, being let alone makes me feel good inside and whose right is greater? Is my right to be let alone greater than ...

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution were created so that the citizens could limit and control government, NOT the other way around. But it seems that lately, that government uses every oportunity to control us and this is now taken as the way it should be and no one even questions this shift in perspective any longer. Government's function should be to protect our freedoms, not take them away. The more freedom's it takes away, ...
