I have said it before and I will say it again. Right wing types can't support their ideology on the facts. Mitt Romney got caught in a number of lies in his attack on Americas new health plan and yet butter wouldn't have melted in this guys mouth when he was called on it. His tactic was to lie, deny and change the subject. Oh, and by the way, not one ounce of compassion for people who are sick and need health care. Let's be honest. Republicans and their right wing zombies couldn't care less about their fellow Americans sick or otherwise. They feel that they are entitled to their entitlements and spitting mad that they were booted out of power. That is what this phoney debate is really about.

Speaking for my self as a right winger I can tell you that I care very much about sick, poor, unducated, etc... Americans. The questions isn't whether I or other right wingers care; the question is instead about how we care. I believe that we are all responsible for ourselves. I absolutely do not believe, nor do I want the government to be responsible for me. When you and others speak of "the government", what you're really saying is "taxpayers". Because the government doesn't produce anything itself; all it can do is spend others monies; the others being us.

The question should be: is it everyones responsibility to be responsible for everyone else around them? I say no to this. As I said, I shouldn't be responsible for taking care of you and you shouldn't be responsible for taking care of me. As mature, free, independant, self responsible Americans, we should be able to do that for ourselves.

The next question should be: if we were to be responsible for each other; would it be right for us to take from each other against our will to help support those less fortunate? Again I say no. Taking from others against their will is called stealing; plain and simple. Whatever your cause for the stealing, does not justify the stealing. Why would any one person have the right to steal from another in order to have that person take care of them? Every time someone talks about their "right" to healthcare, what they are really saying is: they have a "right" to healthcare due to the fact that their right is being supported on the backs of others who are being stolen from; literally. Are you saying that it's ok to steal from some so that others may have? And if you do agree with that philosphy; who are the ones saying that it's right and ok to steal from some so that others may have? I'm sure all those who don't have are happy to sign up to that one; what do they have to lose?

I say that there should be ways that we can help our fellow Americans voluntarily; not against our wills. Through donations, charity, work programs, education, etc...; but all of this payed for by donations of time and/or money from those who want to help. Again, nobody in my book is responsible for others against their will.

I think this was a very calm, logical response. What say you to it?
