I think it's awesome how Obama can be a Nazi, a Communist, AND a Muslim fundamentalist all at the same time.
He's good at multitasking.

A privilege. I'm not wild about a country where health care is only for the privileged.
But health care costs money. Aren't most of our "rights" intangibles? It costs nothing to give me the right to remain silent. I guess if public safety is a right, it costs money to pay the police force. Are highways a right? I'm not sure what I'm saying here. Are the things our taxes go to considered "rights"? And by whom?

Can it be a kick-line instead (so to speak). I don't want to get my hands anywhere near that rancid junk.

A human right, as opposed to a Constitutional right, P-C. Like clean water to drink. That comes with a price tag, and that individuals don't have the right to pee wherever they please.

Due process costs a lot of money. It's more the term 'privilege' than 'right' that gets me.
