EU chief says, "Vacationing a human right"

[tombogan03884]

You have the right to the PURSUIT of happiness.  No guarantee you will get it.

Not according to the Constitution. According to that you have the right to Life, Liberty, AND PROPERTY

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"

This phrase is commonly attributed to the Constitution, but it comes from the Declaration of Independence. The 5th Amendment does offer protections to our "life, liberty, or property," noting we cannot be deprived of any of them without due process of law.

I didn't say it was in the constitution, just quoting the phrase that came to mind.  Besides, none of our rights come from a piece of paper...

You know for a bunch of people who don't believe in God, and say that science is a religion, they have certainly thrown Darwin under the bus.

Survival of the fittest - um, that's not fair

It's such a nice day, I think I'll sit out on my back deck, fire up a $10 cigar and stare at the section 8 housing that's behind my subdivision. I wonder how long it takes for someone to say something to me. I'm sure it will be something along the lines that I'm smoking a cigar and there are school kids walking past my house.

Although I should tread lightly. I already pissed off one of the crackheads over there when she bitched me out for starting to build my fence. Apparently she thinks I should leave the back open so anyone can come wandering through my yard. I have taken her advise to a point. The back section will now be 8' high decorative block.

Nothing makes me angrier than someone who is essentially living off of my back having the arrogance to tell me what I HAVE to do on MY property.

I think the EU Chief should go take a hike.

Can I please exercise my "human right" and have a round trip, first class, vacation to Thunder Ranch?

Please,...

Some of the rules that have in the EU about employment, make a union job look like hard work.

the UK is limited to 32 hours of work a week.  I've had more hours in 2 days.

If you think this "right" business through to it's conclusion, everything must be a right.  The right to a new car, house, nice cloths, dish washer, cloths washer/dryer, on and on...

So, if we follow this line of thought, does this mean we can have the Gov. buy us all new ACRs because it's our "right to happiness"?

[WatchManUSA]

Of course not!  They don't want THAT right as a right.

If this is in Europe can it be that far off from being part of the Obama agenda?  You can't make this stuff up fast enough...
