As the Tea Party Express traversed the nation (78 cities in two, three week tours) we were met in many venues by vocal advocates for Socialized Medicine. Almost universally young (college age) and small in number (never more than a handful) they were every bit as loud and rude as one would expect from people touting a prohibitively expensive and unpopular collectivist idea that benefits the few over the many.
Their signs and shouts revolved around their assertion that “health care” is a fundamental “right.” However, those asked why this particular “right” should be forced on the unwilling under the pain of imprisonment pretty much just vapor-locked. It had apparently not occurred to them that among those rights held dear by Americans is the right to not be forced at gunpoint to exercise a right.
The very first problem with the Obamacare advocates is with the very notion that a person may be forced by law to pursue Life, Liberty and Happiness. Interestingly enough they angrily bristled when I suggested to some of them that our Constitution contains some very clearly spelled out rights and that if the right to health care can be forced on citizens then government should also be able to force individuals to worship, exercise speech, own a firearm and on down the line. Moreover, the government should also have the same power to instruct us on the content of our worship, speech and gun safe. There should also be punishment for noncompliance, taxation of compliance and detailed rules and regulations as to how those rights must be exercised, as is the template for Socialized Medicine.
Not a one of them liked my suggestion that they should be taxed to buy me a nice new Glock or that they be compelled to worship a god of government choice, nor did it appear that any of them realized that is exactly one of the doors being opened by Obamacare.
Missing that particular elementary school civics debate only hints at the true shallowness of their automaton agreement with the adherents of Marx and Lenin (currently holding siege to the principles of Jefferson and Madison). Namely, that in a post-Constitutional America one of the Left’s most treasured icons will soon be targeted for destruction by the Socialist in Chief… Roe v. Wade.
One of the problems with ignorance and mindless shouting is that you go fuzzy on the consequences of your lack of critical thinking. In this instance the landmark, 1973 Supreme Court decision that struck down states’ anti-abortion laws did so by establishing a Constitutional Right to Privacy is on the chopping block. Argue all you want about whether or not this right exists or exists beyond abortion, but until the Supremes say otherwise it is there.
The very first legal challenge to Obamacare is likely to be brought on Constitutional grounds and incorporate Roe v. Wade as precedent (along with the several supporting cases cited in the original Supreme Court ruling.) I eagerly await the howls of outrage that will arise when US Attorney General Eric Holder goes to court with the goal of overturning Roe v. Wade in order to defend placing the government between Americans and their doctors – the exact “evil” prohibited by the sacred (to the Left) decision that took abortion from a gut-wrenching last resort to a casual method of birth control. Indeed, the “right” to birth control itself may disappear. Griswold v. Connecticut established the right to birth control and was a precedent for Roe v. Wade.
I will hardly know for which side to cheer! The political pendulum always swings back and the legal ability to apply Obama Science Czar John Holdren’s refined ideas on eugenics to whatever human genome mutation that causes the kind of crippling mental dysfunction that creates Liberals is an enticing (if chilling) prospect for that future date when a tyrant of a different political stripe replaces Obama.

As it shouldn’t. At best, it won’t get in the way of your inevitable handgun suicide, you miserable faggot.
Thank you for the demonstration Paul. You nailed it.
