No, "Adequate Housing" is NOT a "Right!!"

(Israelnationalnews.com) Gil Gan-Mor, an attorney for the far-leftist anti-Israel "Association for Civil Rights in Israel" group, which opposes civil rights for Jews and freedom of speech for non-leftists, has an Op-Ed in the Jerusalem Post, entitled "Adequate housing is a right," here.

Whenever leftists decide to turn something into a "right," it means they demand that you and I pay for it whenever someone else wants it.  Food is a right?  That means I have to pay for your food.  Health care is a right?  That means you do not need to bother to buy health insurance because you can coerce me into paying for your health care.  Once everything is a "right," no one has any reason to go to work because everything they need is an automatic entitlement.

I suggest that Israel and the rest of the world adopt a new slogan.  Instead of " Adequate housing is a right," let's adopt the banner, "You have the Absolute Right to Save up your Money to Buy Housing Units of any Sort you Wish,"  and for that matter "You also have the right to go out and work and buy food, clothes, health care, education, housing, electricity, and anything else you want but don't come whining to me that it is somehow my job to buy it for you!"  If you are too lazy to work but then ask me for spare change, then you have the right to be spanked.  You have the right to behave as and be treated as a responsible adult.  You have the right to stop whining. 

[One exception:  I am willing to pay to house leftist traitors in prison cells that adequately keep them there]
