Samantha no longer thinks everyone has a right to healthcare. She thinks we have an obligation to help those with chronic, genetic conditions and those struggling mothers and fathers truly interested in the welfare of their children.

That is still one of the biggest problems with liberalism. They always say "we have an obligation" and then work to impose some tax or requirement to see that their "pet obligation" is fulfilled via gov't.

Most conservatives on the other hand may feel that they have a personal obligation to help [fill-in-the-blank], and choose to do so with their own personal contributions. They may even try to encourage others to help as well, but without compulsion by force. When one is compelled by force to support another's "pet obligation", they have less left over to provide to their own "pet obligation".

I just shake my head.

At the liberal...I'm past the point I feel any compassion. Not only has she served in the army that made this possible, she's undoubtedly criticized those who knew better. So she has a lot to atone for.

Besides, everything she thinks she knows, she learned in school. I suppose we should be grateful she figured out anything at all.
