Go F yourself Harvie. Your point is intellectually vapid, and inherently inconsistent. Personal responsibility is what individuals decide to embrace, not what the government imposes. Further, if put to a national ‘democratic’ vote, Obamacare would not survive. It has never been put to a ‘democratic’ vote, and was forced down the throats of the American people by a temporary ideological majority that used every political favor and trick in the book to impose this upon us.
Your attempt to frame your argument in terms of fundamental principles is also pointless and indefensible. If taken to its ‘fundamental’ conclusion your argument holds that the government should be able to impose ‘democratically’ upon us rules dictating any and every aspect of our lives that it deems an issue of ‘personal responsibility’.
Well done!
Bravo Zulu!!
Here’s a fundamental democratic requirement ~ that funky old judges who’ve lost touch with their conscious selves have an obligation to resign or walk in heavy Interstate traffic ~ whichever comes first.
