so im watching "cops" the other day like i usually do. what i dont do is watch commercials. so im flipping around on the remote and on fox there is goofball glenn beck rambling on and on and on. even if one agrees with his point of view i dont understand how they can sit there and watch him for an hour. he just babbles, cries, yells and never really says anything. like a professional wrestler. in the two minutes i watched he was talking about the declaration of independence, natures god, and his 24 inch pythons. brotha. i think.
anyway, it reminded me of a thought i had this time last year when all that healthcare stuff was going on. and the thought resurfaced last summer during the kagan supreme court confirmation. i think the declaration of independence is important, and certainly the right wingers got their panties all ruffled last year when kagan hinted that she didnt think it was. so i am going to assume the righties are on my side on this one.
so, some math:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
+
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
=
government based healthcare
it seems pretty straightforward to me. the right to life, and you have to be healthy to have life, plus the fact government is established to secure the rights, equals government healthcare.
care to tell me how i am wrong?
todays recommendation:
