@masercot "Given the government's new abilities to assassinate American citizens, such as Al-Awlaki, without due process while imposing upon the taxpayer the full access to our justice system by a foreign terrorist like Khalid Sheik Mohammed, how might you dissuade We the People of seeing this double-standard as anything but contempt for the American people?"
@masercot Noooo, no no no no noooo...! I find the requirement of certain towns in Georgia (and other states, where applicable) requiring citizens to carry to be unConstitutional just as much as a government requiring a purchase of health insurance!
But given that level of equitable rhetoric, where ARE our free guns?
@QuartuvLarry I remember when I used to give equitable rhetoric. Now, I takes all night just to come up with a syllogism... The question about the assasination order would've been a good one; however, the problem of expensive and substandard emergency room care can only be solved three ways: 1) mandate insurance 2) socialize medicine (my favorite); and, 3) Let people start dying...
@masercot No, actually. Those aren't the only ways to solve it. Decreasing regulation on hospitals would be one good way. Reigning in the FDA in regards to Big Pharma nepotism is ANOTHER way. Tort reform is another. So yes, there are other ways than bailing out folks who are irresponsible with their health.
It won't be EASY, but a means that does NOT involve making one right supercede the other (like it or not, the right to life is NOT more important than the right to property) is far superior.
@QuartuvLarry Deregulation will only make things worse. Reagan deregulated the airlines and they've fallen apart. Tort reform might provide an extra percent, definitely not worth it....
@masercot Airlines? I'm not talking about airlines! How has it come to laymans that any talk of deregulation means all regulations across the board? I speak of hospitals. And as for torts, why not ask about the cost burden upon doctors who are required to have gouged malpractice insurance, thanks to the frivolous lawsuits brought by ambulance chasers? And people wonder why the bills are so high!
@QuartuvLarry Deregulating the medical field would be a disaster. As for tort, malpractice suits only add a couple of percent to the cost of medicine. Small price to pay for the ability to sue if a doctor screws your body up through incompetence. But, the savings from outlawing ALL malpractice suits would barely impact medical prices... Not a wise savings...
Funny, he spoke about how education is the prerequisite to prosperity... My college application was just denied because I can't afford the 3 grand a month not covered by my pell grant. I have a 1 year old child to care for and hope that one day she can be proud of me.

@QuartuvLarry Khalid is not a terrorist until convicted of being a terrorist. Anything else WOULD be contempt for the constitution...

@masercot That won't save him. There's still the undue assassination authorization he'll have to rhetorically wriggle out from.

@masercot Here's another I'd ask him. More pithy, too: "If healthcare is a right, where's my free gun?"

@QuartuvLarry What news do you listen to? He wants people to pay for the insurance...pay for your gun...
