I would suggest that rule number one is, NEVER except a leftist premise. There a number of implicit falsehoods in the statement. Some have already been mentioned here but I would like to add a couple of observations.

People who say things such as "There's something wrong with a country that thinks that healthcare is a privilege but owning a gun is a right" are also people who believe there ought to be no such thing as private property.

I would also point out that the statement presupposes a morality. It is a twisted, contorted and imaginary morality for which leftists and progressives have no foundation, but that doesn't seem to stop them from wanting to impose it on everyone else. What foundation or basis do leftists have that authorizes them to categorize ANYTHING as "wrong". They certainly don't believe in natural rights as the Founders did. I would want to know how they account for this morality that they want to impose on everyone (except themselves) by government force.

Cordially,
