YOUR RIGHTS.

And what they're not.

Great article on healthcare, socialism and the documents that founded our nation, from Edward Morrissey:

Note that the founders did not add a right to health care, or to food, or shelter, or even water in this bill. Why? Each of those items existed in those days, obviously, and were just as critical to life and happiness as they are today. However, to grant a right to food, as an example, would directly contradict the idea that the farmer who grows the food has a right to ownership of the fruits of his labors – literally speaking, in this instance. It sets in motion a confiscatory requirement to satisfy that right. Someone has to seize that food and distribute it to others in order to bring that “right” to fruition.

Rights cannot be confiscatory in a society that respects the individual right to property. That's why none of the enumerated rights in the Constitution involve confiscation. Americans have the right to free speech, but they do not have the right to demand publication in a newspaper, nor do they have the right to demand that other people listen when they speak. The right to free expression of religion does not involve occupying someone else's church and using it to your own ends. You have the right to keep and bear arms, but you do not have the right to demand free or publicly financed weaponry. All of those examples involve confiscating someone else's property or services, whether done through the government or by force individually....

The founders understood that property rights would secure liberty and the greatest good for the nation as a whole. That's why they declared the “pursuit of happiness” as an unalienable right, and not the end result of happiness itself. They knew that creating a government that respects private property and the innate rights of individuals over their government would create the best opportunities to achieve happiness for the largest amount of people. The 20th century proved them correct, for those who paid attention.

That last paragraph is the one that loses the left. Our Constitution creates "the best opportunities to achieve happiness for the largest amount of people."

But the left believes that human-made utopia is not only possible, but the only moral choice, and worth whatever means necessary to bring it about..

Never mind that those who have tried have never done anything other than create hell on earth.

The important thing is not the actual results, its the feeling of being an elevated individual for holding such ideas....especially if you're sure of being one of the "more equal than others" in your everybody's-equal-Marxist-dystopia.

As humans are imperfect, containing both evil and good, our only option, as the founders knew, was to form a system to bring the best opportunities to achieve happiness for the largest amount of people.

That was their brilliance, that's what they did and that's why people have been flocking here for more than 200 years.

That's about to end.
