Rand Paul: if you think you have a right to food and water, you believe in slavery

Asshole. So many Tea-Bagging assholes. The good news is, Glenn Greenwald points out that the USA's perpetual war if fully up and running and that the rest of its citizens will lose the rest of their civil liberties shortly as the authoritarian police state settles in. Hopefully, the republicans will finish destroying the economy soon by failing to raise the debt ceiling and the USA can start over. Anyway, here is Paul:

PAUL: With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.

Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services — do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? — you’re basically saying you believe in slavery.

I’m a physician in your community and you say you have a right to health care. You have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That’s ultimately what the right to free health care would be.
