I'm just curious, where in the Constitution does it say that I have to give my money to the government for socialist programs? Did people sleep during history class when the Constitution was discussed? It is chilling to see people of this country give up their blanket of freedom for one of oppression, just so they can have a false sense of security.

Just like I don't know what is best for you and your family, you don't know what is best for mine, so stay out of my business and my pocket. I don't need the government protecting me from myself. It is my constitutional right to F*ck up. In college, I worked at a liquor store in a poor neighborhood. Everyday I watched the same people spend $15-20 on beer,lottery and cigarettes and then bitch about their mounting debt. Did I feel bad for them? Sure. Do I owe them anything? Hell no!! However, according to your philosophy I do. I owe them health coverage, welfare, social security, etc... So I work my ass off for their incompetence. What ever happen to taking responsibility for ones actions?

I believe you grossly underestimate the generosity of the American people. Everyday I see people going the extra mile to help someone in need. The government just screws up the process.

Cyberken is right. This is a war, and people like you must be stopped before this great nation is destroyed.

The fact that you want to take away the rights of the American people and use the alias "American Spirit" is a slap in the face to every man and woman who died for this country.
