House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday evening that the 2010 healthcare law, which prompted complaints from conservatives that Democrats far exceeded their constitutional authority, actually helps people meet the goal outlined in the Declaration of Independence, which promotes mankind's rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Speaking on the House floor, Pelosi called on her colleagues to remember "what our founders put forth in our founding documents, which is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that is exactly what the Affordable Care Act helps to guarantee."

Hey, Mrs. Potato Head, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit if Happiness” is in the Declaration of Independence, not the constitution. The is no legal guarantee for those three. If there were you would be long gone.
Along with Abortion on the first line should also be “Death Panels”
Exactly. I am at liberty to get my own health insurance if I want it. And I am at liberty to not get any if I don’t want it. I am also allowed to pursuit of happiness by not handing over my income or my rights over to the government.
What a kook she is.
More like death, demoralization, and poverty.

Well the witch just made the strongest case for outlawing abortion not a reason to uphold obomination care.
“”life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Abortion completely denies everyone of these to a baby.
That would be the US Constitution you MORON...
I have to admit that it’s been awhile since I studied this, but I believe the pursuit of happiness pertained to ownership of private property. California elected a stewed prune to Congress.
HERESY
It's not meant to be truth. In fact, it's meant to be obviously wrong. You're looking at the use of cognitive dissonance as a control methodology. Followers are denied any trace of reasonable deniability, by being forced to support something that is patently stupid and outrageous. Why? Enforced loyalty. They have nowhere to go except each other, and cannot even discuss issues with those not in the group.
It's a Hillary thing. The whole Nazi Will To Power, where loyalty alone, not reason or logic or even common sense, is the foundation for the movement. It creates psychological slaves who get ever deeper into the endless lies, so that they can never escape. Extremism then becomes the hold on the followers - if something is reasonable, it can be thought about, and that would break the spell, the hold, on unthinking obedience.
Pelosi's a drooling idiot, but her handlers aren't. She's a zombie mouthpiece for pure evil.
What I have to say about this disgusting waste of skin and breath would get me banned for life from here. I value my freedom too much to endanger it over such an utterly wothless supposed human being.
Uhhh - because she knows the press will report it as fact and half the populace will accept it and they aren’t smart enough to critically examine the statement
Nancy Pelosi is a putz, if, that is, a female can be called a putz.
From the Free Online Dictionary:
1. Slang A fool; an idiot.
2. Vulgar Slang A penis.
Future historians will shake their heads in amazement.”
I doubt there will be future historians
I’ve said before these Leftist politicians are sociopaths. It makes sense because they often have egos that discount the possibility of their caring about others or what others think about them.
...”House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday evening that the 2010 healthcare law, ... actually helps people meet the goal outlined in the Declaration of Independence, which promotes mankind’s rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Yeah, NaziPelosi wants to enslave some people so others can have healthcare.
So much for the right to life, liberty, and property...
How dumb is she?
Because, as a public servant, she has committed herself to a life of self-sacrifice.
Gad. I made myself throw up a little with that one.
Ah. It only "helps" to guarantee LL&POH. Obviously there's more work to be done, eh?
Yo, Nanzi, if that's the case, then why didn't they provide everyone with health care to begin with?
Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-Calif.) said ... the 2010 healthcare law .... actually helps people meet the goal outlined in the Declaration of Independence, which promotes mankind's rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."Okay. I don't know who said what where in the above but first of all the Declaration of Independence doesn't "promote" anything. What it does is state, or aver, it does not 'promote'. So either way someone involved is a moron. Either the writer or San Fran Nan needs a refresher course in reading comprehension.
That taken care of, the second paragraph of the 'DOI' starts off as follows. And natch, good ole Nan left OUT a few salient points.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (and here's an important part Nan) — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...Got the above Nan? Our Rights come from our Creator as in GOD. They do not come from government. And most of all these rights of ours are "unalienable" . Which basically means in ENGLISH that no man (human or gubmint) can take them away (Nan, for your own edification you better look that one up). Also note that it states that Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are only SOME of our Rights as it states that they are 'among' other and numerous God Given Rights we have.
And I knooooow you love the last part, about Government and your job in relation to The Peoples Rights. Which is solely to "Secure Them" - period. YOU and your fellow commieRATS cannot infringe on them, take them away, and / or - Create NEW Rights. As we the people have NOT 'granted you' (quaint idea, ain't it) any powers to do so.
Oh. In case you don't know Nan, the Declaration of Independence is not Law. That would be the Constitution Of The United States which delineates the limited powers granted to the Federal Government (aka: YOU) by the people. And forcing, compelling, ordering, dictating, mandating, etc., that We The People MUST purchase ANY product, good, or service, is NOT one of your limited powers.
ps: Nan, don't forget you have a Dr appointment at 1:30pm for another Botox injection.
