In reply to the discussion: Republican senator calls health care, food, and shelter a privilege [View all]not fooled
(5,801 posts)9. The pukes
are trying to con 'Muricans into thinking the most important thing in life is some abstract concept of "freedom". They sell "freedom" as the substitute for everything they don't want to make available--that they don't consider rights.
The little problem with their attempted con is that you aren't "free" if you don't have food, shelter, and health. FDR addressed this matter in his famous "Four Freedoms" speech.
But, to the 'Murican with a lousy job and no prospects in life, feeling "free" I guess makes up for all that has been taken away from us by shitty puke policies. Of course, the only real "freedom"said 'Murican has these days is to go buy an arsenal, I guess.

I should think the right to life includes the right to food, shelter and health care

Right to guns (and to be shot) but not a right for health care? Oh, I see. The NRA

This is a real viewpoint held by conservative Christians. I was raised in this mindset.
