Ron Paul on Hobby Lobby

I'm merely laughing at his inability (probably intentional) to distinguish constitutional and statutory rights and your egotistical belief that your burden in sharing the risk of some medical condition that you cannot have because of your gender is more an imposition than that placed upon others for your benefitting from treatment for another condition.

And agin, you fail to understand what he's saying. I'm no tin favor of others being forced to purchase anything at my behest. That's what separates people like me, from parasites.And he is clearly not making any distinction between "rights" because there really isn't any. This is why you fail consistently with these arguments.
 
It is the same I have been saying. You should be buying your own health insurance, not your employer or the State.

Then if you didn't have abortifacient coverage, you would only have yourself to blame.

As it should be.

I'm sick and tired of "Gimme, gimme, gimme, and make that guy over there pay for it" and then this unbelievable entitlement indignation when one isn't given stuff at other people's expense.

One of my favorite quotes from a novel:
Many of you have traded freedom not even for a bowl of soup, but worse, for the spoken empty feelings of others who say that you deserve to have a full bowl of soup provided by someone else... An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life. No society can be more important than the individuals who compose it, or else you ascribe supreme importance, not to man, but to any notion that strikes the fancy of the society, at a never-ending cost of lives.

- Terry Goodkind, Faith of the Fallen
 
He must realize that democrats are using this as their talking point War On Women.

But this is great point;

"“The claim is that women have a right to free birth control,” Paul explained. “And yet they never talk about the rights of the person that has to provide these demands. But demands and desires and needs can’t become rights, and that’s why we have a society today that, anyone who needs or wants something [says], ‘We have a right to this.’ But they never say, ‘Whose rights must we violate in order to get what we want?’”

But the men have the right to Viagra and vasectomies, right?......and Hobby Lobby doesn't mind that those are covered....hmmm, and then they claim they don't have a war against women?

Well, he certainly demonstrates, once again, he cannot distinguish between constitutional rights (those in the BoR) and statutorily granted rights of citizens to obtain something the congress passed a law saying they can have. Whether the law's good or bad is another issue.

He also betrays his own racist bent.

When congress passes a law saying they can have something, then it up to congress to pay for that something, and not pass the cost off to some private citizens.

Really not the same thing though is it.
