It won't happen. The American libertarians and quasi-libertarians who live on the net are far too fearful of "authority."

Get some. You are so obviously ignorant that I cannot describe the intense feeling of disgust and embassesment of a fellow disabled American!
" I never accepted Medicare because we could afford not to." Also mentioned was the fact your wife has health care so therefore you do not need medicare. Second, I can afford my medicare because it is free for me. It is far from perfect but unlike you, I feel guilty that I do have access to health care while it is either withheld from hard woeking Americans or they are consistantly denied coverage of their medical bills.
I am working very hard to overcome my disability because I want to be a productive member of society. Apparently you chose the opposite path, to destroy the very government that allows you to sit on your butt all day spouting hate, discrimination, hypocrisy and the worst, Violence!
Where wold you be and doing without your Government hand out and wife? Living in a homeless community asking for handouts while still spouting out but instead on how you are being ignored by your Government?
Stop trying to destroy our Country because you are bitter you are disabled. Stop accepting the hand out. Get a job typing, you can't be THAT disabled considering you are perfectly capable of inciting violence in which I sincerely hope you are convicted for!
How is it you came to be Disabled if you never asked to be?
And I well know if you are only getting $1300/month, you were not very productive before your 'disability' as it is based on previous earnings.
My last question to you and all the other ignorants who listen to you: Is health care a right or a privledge? If you answered privledge, enjoy your life when it comes tumbling down and you too are working 60 hr weeks to make ends meet still unable to afford health coverage. You will not even afford a simple Dr's visit for an infection or the prescription needed. You will experience what you refuse to see.
You, sir, are far from a patriot, but a domestic terrorist!

Interesting that you chose to respond to Mr. Vanderboegh here. He may read my blog, but I sorta doubt it. He's too busy, writing his book, blogging, giving speeches, and hopefully not too often responding to hate-filled screeds from people who think the world owes them handouts.

But I'll answer some of your questions anyway.

First off, I am sorry you have a disability that makes it hard for you to work. Good luck overcoming your challenges. Really.

Health care is not a right. Nothing that requires somebody else to pay for something you get is a right. Housing is not a right. Food is not a right. Clothing is not a right. Education is not a right.

But anything you can do or say that does not directly harm another person or their property IS a right. Free speech is a right. Keeping and bearing arms, for protection of person, property, loved ones, community, and country, is a right. Self-medication, with anything you've decided you want to use, without asking permission from any doctor or any bureaucrat, is a right.

If Americans got through their twisted, socialist heads the difference between a right and an entitlement, the things we need that are not rights, would cost a whole lot less, and those who still couldn't afford them would be a whole lot more likely to receive charity, real charity, given freely by those with a surplus of money and love.

While I find the health care bill an abhorrent breach of the constitution and the supposed powers of government I do not think breaking windows is going to really do anything except give the left more ammunition. The media is already able to portray republicans and other conservative groups as crazy and irrational with their coverage of the republican "backlash" to the bill. I think the only way the opponents of the bill are going to be vindicated is when the health care bill falls flat on its face. If anything I think we should concentrate on recording and remembering all of the rhetoric being spouted by the democrats so we can hold them accountable in the future and maybe finally convince people that more government control is not the answer.

The Window War is already a huge holding back. Bullets, not bricks, are what this massive crime deserves. We're past the time of political fixes. The breach between the collectivists and those who believe in individual liberty is too large.

But I haven't seen reports of thousands of windows being broken, so my opinion is likely part of a small minority. And I haven't broken one myself.

I'm interested in how you feel about our judicial system?

Constitutional courts haven't existed for years, probably my entire half-century lifetime. It's all corporate courts, enforcing statutes, none of which should be applicable to natural humans. But it always makes my head hurt when I read that stuff.
