In summation, conservatives need to make the case for liberty with respect to the health care debate. It isn’t just about how much the system will cost, or how big of a bureaucracy it will generate. What’s at stake here is, ultimately, our right to use our own resources to obtain the medical care at a level that each of us, individually, feels is best for ourselves. At stake is our right to live our lives as we see fit – the right to eat cheeseburgers every day of our life while being willing to deal with the consequences, if that’s what we want to do. At issue is the right of each person to the inherent, God-given liberty to life – affirmed in no less a document than our own Declaration of Independence – instead of having some penny-pinching jobsworth decide that we’re just too expensive to keep around anymore. Folks, let’s make the case for liberty, not just economy.

I think you're trying to compliment me. Thank you very much. I hope my thoughts can advance the discussion and stimulate someone else to say it even better. I do believe that all of our liberties are at stake now.

Love the LoR reference. Perhaps not germane to this topic but my favorite lines from the LoR FotR movie were...

"Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf to Frodo in Moria
