Yeah, healthcare is a inalienable right just alongside life, liberty and the pursuit of property. What fantasy world do you live in where you can snap your finger, or pass some flowery piece of legislation, and make everything freakin’ perfect? Yes, 2,017 is too many but the chance to have a free country and individual liberty means an awful lot. Just because something is hard does not mean it isn’t worth fighting for.

Here is where we differ. I support the ideals of freedom for the Iranian and Iraqi people. But I don’t think that my nation should borrow $1 trillion dollars from the Chinese and lose the lives of 5,000 good citizens in an attempt to provide it for them. I think America has enough problems of its own to worry about right now quite frankly.

Nobody here seems to recognize that you can find a dictator awful, repugnant and evil, but at the same time not wish to spend $1 trillion dollars fighting a war to have him deposed. If dictators everywhere need to be overthrown then why haven’t we also invaded North Korea, Burma, Cuba and Venezuela?
