A group of aging hippie wannabes grandiosely calling themselves the “Cigna Seven” got themselves arrested by “the man” on Thursday. You’d be excused if you weren’t aware of this because the media pretty much just yawned at the exploits of these few goof balls.
These elder statesmen of the wacko set got themselves pinched by the fuzz as they sat their graying, age spreading rear-ends in the entryway of Cigna Corp.’s Midwest offices in downtown Chicago. The charges were, of course, trespassing but they should have been charged with impersonating a serious American.
One of the idiotic things these nuts were touting as a serious idea is that healthcare is a “human right.” What a stupid claim. Rights are not something that can require someone else to do something for you. A right is something you exercise autonomously without requiring someone else’s participation. With that truth understood, how is it that a doctor’s care is a right? That would mean that to assure my “right” to healthcare, I’d have to compel some doctor to see me. Further, how is it that I’d have to pay that doctor to see me if his serving me is my right?
Someone needs to ask these morons why anyone would become a doctor if everyone else could compel them to serve everyone that comes through the door without paying for the “right” to be seen?
So, I have a great idea. I’ve decided it is my right to take the “Cigna Seven’s” cars and money. I say they OWE me their belongings. It’s my right dang it!
Like I said, the Chicago media pretty much ignored this story. About all I could find was a tiny, little Associated Press wire story in the Chicago Tribune.
Here is a sad little video of this tiny little group that wants to infest our healthcare system with their favorite socialist ideals.
Obviously I am not sympathetic with their commie-like cause, but that little video at least had a looker in it. All I know is that the curly haired chick is a cutey. My guess is that all the younger guys making fools of themselves at this “protest” only came out because they wanted a date with curley-girl.
Now HERE is a real protest by some true Americans. You’ll notice that it garnered the attendance of just a few more Americans than the paltry effort made by the “Cigna Seven” and their half-wit kiddies… oh, and the curley-haired cutey.
Now, compare and contrast… then laugh uproariously at the “Cigna Seven.”
