What Rights Will the Left Take Away (or Make Up) Next?

I just got a funny email about the difference between Republicans and Democrats, purportedly by Jeff Foxworthy.  It's been around for a while and isn't likely Foxworthy's doing, but it's really quite cute, as it captures the essence that distinguishes the two.

Here's a sample:

• If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
• If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
• If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
• If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
• If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
• If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

We are currently bombarded with claims of rights to

• admission to the country,
• health care,
• free abortions,
• not be offended,
• a secondary education,
• a job paying $17 an hour...

As the list demonstrates, nearly every "right" the left imposes actually requires that someone else do something or give up something, foisting a form of servitude on someone else. To a leftist, a right is an entitlement – an obligation on someone else to give him something, or not exercise his own right.

That which is not forbidden, is mandatory.
