The Petulant Children

As anyone with a pulse, (<--scratch that, it should read "a TV") in America would know, this is an election year. As a close watcher, of many news sources, and reader of newspapers all over the US, btw isn't the Internet wonderful! One thing is clear now, more than ever before, and that is; The American electorate is like a petulant child. and BOTH Democrats, and Republicans pander to that "petulant child" Like a divorced parent does to their kid when they have him/her every other weekend. The "children" are caught up talking about rights that do not exist, like the "Right to vote" and "Right to health care" I have read the US Bill of Rights, many times over...Those rights do not exist, all it says about voting, is that it may not be denied due to :

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.— Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
(1870)

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.— Nineteenth
Amendment (1920)

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election . . . shall not be denied or abridged . . . by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.— Twenty-fourth Amendment (1964)

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of age.— Twenty-sixth Amendment (1971)


I see CONDITIONS that you cannot "deny" a vote to a person, I don't see anything that guarantees a right to vote at all. Read it carefully, it is misleading in the way it is wrote, to appear to be a "right" but do "rights" come with conditions? Clearly their is a "privilege to vote" but not a true right.

Its not as clear cut, as say the first amendment.. which reads:

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech....— First
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

If their was a "right to vote" would it not be wrote in terms as clear as the above amendment ?? Even Felons have the freedom of speech...

The "Right to Health Care" is even easier easier to debunk, it flat out does not exist, in any form, in the US Constitution.

If you want socialized health care, that is fine and good, just stop all this bullshat about it being a right.. It clearly is not.

They are many other "false rights" that people seem to think they have.

And the Petulant Children, will not be told any different... For fear that they will run from the "week end" parent, to the other one and tell them about "how bad they are being treated"

We also have a significant number of "Children" that think it is perfectly OK to tax their neighbors, not in the name of true need, but in the name of "fairness" *BIG GROAN and FACE PALM*

The Government, collects Taxes, out of NEED for funds, not because it is "fair" But hey!! The "other parent" is promising to pay off our mortgage!!!

And the tug of war continues.... The "kid" loaded down with "apparently free" candy, is running back and forth between the "Parents" each one in complete disregard for their own financial wellbeing keeps upping the ante, in hope of the "petulant child" picking them.... Over the other.

What he, the Petulant child needs, is some "tough love" but he will not get that....He WILL get more spoiling instead., after all, we cannot have the child picking the OTHER parent now can we??

I just wonder where the parents are going to get the money to pay all the "must pay" bills like defense, and SSI, when they come due?? Since they are spending the bill money on "candy" at this point.

Well on November 7th, the Child gets to vote.....
