We also have a moral duty to ignore anything that comes out of Al Gore’s mouth...

How many times does this guy feel he needs to remind us that he's utterly shameless?

I oppose Health Care Reform (HCR) because it is a direct assault on individual liberties. I think that is its main purpose.

HCR is not just about rationing and wealth redistribution. It's about the end of all individual rights as the corrosive effects of the new collectivist basic human right to health care spreads throughout the legal and political system like a virus.

Congressman Anthony Weiner says that health care is not a commodity. If health care is not a commodity then doctors and nurses are not free and sovereign citizens. If health care is a right then health care workers are slaves to that right who must serve it. No health care worker could refuse to provide their services, for any reason, because that would violate the patient's basic human right to health care.

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.

It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.

Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.

Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.

TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS

Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

If it is a moral responsibility then it should be left to individuals, not the government. The government isn't about legislating “moral responsibility.” The government is not our moral teacher. If Gore wanted to enforce moral responsibility, how about starting with Wasthington? Congress and the White House are dens of iniquity and corruption.

Moral Duty? This from the party that tries to cast out God from everything they can think of? Make fun of those of us who believe?

This from the party that stomped on every moral value we had in this country and laughed in our face when we complained?

What moral duty does gore speak of? Our duty to give up, lay down and die so they can save face after bankrupting medicare, medicaid and their holy grail social security and not have to pay back the money they took from us all these years because we did our moral duty and died for them??

Well here you go gore, take this and shove it!

They know that Americans “cling to religion” that is why the shameless religious left try to pull the wool over your eyes and declare that this is biblically called for.

Of course, if you don’t follow their bible, then you should be exempted from their religious obligations.

Hey Al, it’s not moral to live in a 10,000 square foot house, fly around the country in a private jet and then preach to the rest of us that we have to live in mud huts and ride bicycles. Screw off, Algore.

Just think if the Democrats had succeeded in stealing the election, we would have gone through September 11, 2001 with that at the helm. Scary, is it not?
