RUSH: You know, folks, time for a little philosophy here. Government’s role… You look at the Constitution; you read the Constitution. Government’s role is to secure liberty, not seize it. As is stated in the Declaration of Independence, in fact, Americans are “endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.” We all know that phrase. But what follows is just as important. Here’s the whole thing. “Americans are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,” da da da. To secure the right to life, to secure the right to liberty, to secure the pursuit of happiness. “To secure these rights governments are instituted….” The United States government’s purpose is to secure our unalienable rights, not seize them, as socialized medicine certainly does.
