He also didn't mention anything about cars, trains, computers, corn, pepsi, youtube, light bulbs, Aritha Franklin, Rome, WiFi, cookies, jewelry, or ceramic pottery. See how much of a non-sequitur all those are? Yours is just as bad.

What is fundie about this? Sounds like an ordinary political argument, though a very weak one.

I read about the afterlife

You know, that might be because -- THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN INSTITUTION OF HEALTHCARE THEN! What a concept!

Patrick Henry didn't say anything about speed limits, either.

"On this day in 1775, Patrick Henry proclaims: "Give me liberty, or give me death." He never did mention anything about health care."

Or Interstate highways. Or a standing army. Or a post office. Or an airport. Or people that watch blips on little screens to ensure that those big metal flying things in the sky don't crash into one another. Or a bus station. Or an Internet. Or vaccinations. Or safe prescription medications that have been tested to ensure they're effective and safe. Or clean water. Or sewage. Or a 40-hour work week. Or ambulances. Or fire trucks. Or police cars. Or an agency that helps ensure the meat I purchase is not bursting with bacteria. Or equal rights for all regardless of race/ethnicity. Or space shuttles. Or landing men on the moon.

You're at liberty to persuade a majority of your citizens to repeal the legislation if you wish.

Therefore, it follows that public policy vis-à-vis healthcare in 2010 should match that of 1775.

Didn't say anything about making idiotic statements on the Internet, either.

In 1775, you were better off without it!

I agree with #1142113. In fact, this argument, while pretty tenuous here in the real world, is startlingly sane by Conservapedia standards.

What...

Also, he wasn't even talking about anything to do with healthcare moron!

Don't see why this is here. Mr Henry did not, indeed, mention health care. He didn't mention a whole bunch of other things either.
