Ed Morrissey speaks at RightOnLine

HotAir.com's Ed Morrissey said Americans for Prosperity should be like "swimmers who get wet."

Americans and democracy are for prosperity. It is not an accident. Our founding fathers talked about rights.

Morrissey (who is bald) said it is "hair raising" what the Left is doing to deny Americans the unalienable rights...

It was about lifting the individual above the state, not the state above the individual.

The first right mentioned in the Constitution isn't speech (that is the second) - the first is in Article 1, section 8 - it is property rights. That article also limits the power of Congress.

In the Bill of Rights, speech is first, and perhaps Hoyer and Pelosi should get copies of the Bill of Rights. No rights confiscate from others.

We have the best medical system in the world. Food and watheraren't rights if it is confiscated fromm others...we have no rights to ccnfiscate or take from others.

Health care reform is all about confiscation and will lose why we are prosperous.

Just saying it is doesn't make it so. You can't just say we have the best health care system in the world and not back it up with facts. And wouldn't you know it, just as soon as those pesky facts enter the equation, your argument starts to break down. We are 37th in life expectancy, for example. Our health care system is best only for those who can afford it.
