Comment Re:Officials say? (Score 1) 644

When you say you have a right to health care, what you are really saying is you have a right to someones labor (either directly from a doctor or indirectly via someone taxes). To provide that direct labor will eventually require some sort of conscription/indentured servitude of medical personal. Remember, the fed now controls the student loans. Want to become a doctor? You must work for the fed where they tell you to go.

The amendments, that for example, give the government the power to create programs such as social security (Amendment 16)

There is nothing in that amendment that states that the government can create social security. Just about levying an income tax and not having to give the money to the states.

Or we get into topics like the Constitution permiting the repealment of the second amendment, entirely legally and under the system the founding fathers set up. "No!" says the tea partier. "We can't do this things! These things weren't intended by the founding fathers! They wrote the constitution specifically as they did as a guidepost for this country!"

Your wrong. A tea-partier would not say that we can't get rid of the 2nd. A tea-partier would argue with you though on why shouldn't get rid of it. Theres a big difference between saying we can't do something and we shouldn't do something.

As to the air-force, well it may be unconstitutional. But the great thing about the constitution is it provides a mechanism for that challenge. If you believe the air force is unconstitutional, why not take the matter to federal court to find out.

Between allowing illegals to get both drivers licenses and practice law, banning lead ammo for hunting, reclassifying any semi-auto rifle with a clip as a assault rifle (including simple .22's) and therefore making it illegal to transfer ownership (even upon death); I would say that Brown paddled to the far left.

So basically your not voting republican until they only include members who are fine being a minority party and receiving whatever scraps Reid/Pelosi will throw to them. You basically want republicans to be the Democrat-light party on the ballot. You dont want them to actually stand for anything.

You actually sound like a Democrat who refuses to identify as a dem due to the dems moving to far to the left.
