Republicans Please Explain to Me . . .

Ok how about this one?

Republicans scream Obama violated the constitutional by requiring people to (gasp) buy health insurance.

But same republicans support the Arizona immigration law, that advocated warrantless arrests if a police officer believed someone may be in the country illegally - which today, the judge found to be unconstitutional - something crazy about unlawful search and seizure.

Reconcile for me?

Maybe because violating the constitution is ok, provided they agree with it.

The courts have no damn right to tell us what God meant the Constitution to mean!

[To clarify, that's a liberal's irony, not a tea partier's actual response. And the previous sentence is a liberal's implication that it might not be totally obvious.]

Because depending on your age, it may not be there when you retire. You aren't entitled to it because you paid in, the laws could (and probably will) change at any time. It is a tax. Don't expect it or think you are entitled to it, because you are going to end up burned.

Go talk to any auto worker who negotiated a pension contract back in the 70s. Social Security is a hell of a lot more of a sure thing than private pensions.

Meanwhile, regardless of the fact that conservatives have been trying to kill it for decades, as we saw with George W, going after Social Security is political suicide. So, yeah, in the sense that nothing is guaranteed, SS isn't guaranteed. But neither is your right to ownership of private property. And perhaps heterosexual marriage will be banned in the year 2053.
