Comrade Betty?…

Here’s a picture for use in the press release if Betty McCollum wins.

Yes, the Club For Growth will be terribly put out if scary, ultra-pinko Rep. McCollum gets her way regarding healthcare reform. After all, what’s the…

There is a certain perversion of language in the United States these day when there is a call for health care as a constitutional right. Basic human rights are not restricted by borders. The constitution was written to address basic human rights which never came with a monetary price. If the economy ever falls completely apart, logically, a constitutional guarentee for health care will compel health care providers to give their labor away free. Human rights are note restricted to the United States, and it will be interesting to see supporters of this concept fight for the rights to health care for citizens for all the world, when rights the rights of undocumented workers are not yet protected here. Congress should start addressing the human rights of undocumented workers who live amongst us before moving on to grant health care as a basic human right.

Is this the same Club for growth that supported policies of “Big Government Redistribution of Wealth to the Wealthy and Restrictions of Economic Opportunity for the Middle Class” while everyone was supposed to be looking elsewhere? Gee whiz! That’s clever!

Congresswoman McCollum is not this person’s congressman, well, because she is not a man. But I digress. I am in her district, and we will continuously and proudly re-elect her by huge margins. This award rom the club for growth is probably a good thing for her in our district.

As a side note, the only redistribution of wealth going on for the last 30 years has been from the middle class that created the wealth to the bankers who manage the wealth. Supply side economics is entirely about redistribution of wealth, but these guys cannot understand that at all.

Apparently the Club for Growth still favors slavery. As I recall, slave owners considered slaves to be their property. The US Supreme Court agreed in Dred Scott. The 14th amendment “stripped those rights” from slave owners. Ergo, the Fourteenth Amendment did not grant any rights (of due process, equal rights, privileges and immunities.). It further follows that the members of the Club for Growth must each be deemed a wanker of extraordinary merit.
