Bob Beckle states angrily on "The Five"
"IF WE CAN FORCE THEM ON CAR INSURANCE WE CAN FORCE THEM ON HEALTH CARE"
Wow this is the nut in the nutshell. Bob Beckle was arguing the point that if the Obama Care mess is made unconstitutional then 40 million people would be without health care. Then after a few more rounds back and forth he angrily stated, "If we can force people to buy car insurance then we can force them to buy health insurance". Instead of going over Obama Care, car insurance and how totally ignorant Bob Beckle is let's discuss the real issue here.
The philosophy that it is OK to use force for the greater good and because we think we know better we should be able to force them to do things our way. This is not freedom but forcedumb!
This is an absolutely scary thing because that is what many people like Bob Beckle think is the way to get things done. The government is the ultimate carrier of force, but that force should be used to defend against foreign invaders and domestic violence against it's citizens freedom to live their life the way they choose. The government is given this power of ultimate force for that reason and that reason only. Although many have and still do believe that "WE" should force people to do what "WE" think is right for them. This is the exact opposite of freedom and should not be tolerated by citizens of a free country.
You can look all over and see examples of this philosophy which is the ugly cousin to the philosophy "because they can afford it" which is also being throw out left and right.
The next time you hear this you need to make the point that no one has the right to force anyone to do what they don't want to do. Yes this means that some will make some bad decisions despite the facts but that is a by product of freedom. Freedom has to be first over anything else.
What will they FORCE YOU TO DO NEXT?
