I understand what you are saying.

But how can you voice a consistent conservative message if, on the one hand, you’re assailing the food stamp nation and the Obamaphone takers, yet on the other hand you’re championing the cause of people who abuse their bodies and expect others to pay for their resulting health problems?

In both cases, there is no free market. Taxes to prop up the 47% are just as mandatory as those we’re going to pay for Obamacare. And those who live on the government largesse are required to jump through hoops to qualify.

I’m struggling to find a consistent, across the board stance on all this stuff. The minute the government gets its hands on a program which impacts you, you no longer have the ability to march to your own drum. They call the tunes.

I guess it’s all in the semantics. Obamacare is not insurance in the traditional sense of risk sharing. It’s just universal health care posing as insurance in order to close the sale.

You did miss the point, which is very likely because you have been so ingrained with collectivism. That is not unusual and is the goal of the left.

What I propose is to remove the government from these systems, then we can all go back to being responsible for our own liberty. So long as we give in to the collectivists, then we will be constantly moving to dictate all sorts of behaviors that are deemed costly to the collective.

I fear that it is to late to save the republic. Too many in America have already been conditioned to accept being part of the hive and too few even understand true freedom.
