Q: How many brain cells do neocons rely on to try to get their point across?
A: Just enough to repeat the stagnant nonsensical rambling talking points of their righteous chickenhawk leaders.

Death row and other prison inmates get free health care but ordinary citizens who are not covered by an employer plan or can not afford coverage are out of luck.

Well do you think they should stop all the rights given to us? Lets disiband the police force and other systems the tax money goes to, people are still killing each other. Lets disband the right to get drugs, as you said, so that people who need them die or kill others. I mean women and minority groups weren’t even mention in the Constitution. Btw the Declaration of Independence didn’t tell us our rights the Constitution did.

I’m pretty sure you didn’t say this… why don’t conservatives cite anything… and steal everything?

but, to your point… I don’t think education or health care is a right… but I don’t think socializing either is a bad idea…

you talk about where the U.S. is in education… but who is number 1? and what kind of system do they have?

socialist… just like ours… I’m not even aware of any kind of decent nation with a private school system?

and the best health care systems in the world… also socialist, according to the WHO…

and I can tell a difference between a car and a life… just me…

Cultural and social perceptions of rights and privileges change over time, as they should.

Fifty years ago, blacks didn’t have the "right" to vote. One hundred years ago, women didn’t have the "right" to vote. Two hundred years ago, men who didn’t own property didn’t have the "right" to vote.

Today, anyone who is 18 and is not a felon has the "right" to vote.

See my point?

Ok then, if you don’t want free health care for all then legalize all the drugs. The government shouldn’t be telling us what we can and can’t consume. It will end the war on drugs and drug abuse will fall. The reason drug use will fall is because it is no longer the forbidden and it may kill off the stupid people.
