I just happened to see a bit of The Five on Fox News. I had to turn it off because it was so annoying. The group was talking about Obamacare and Bob Beckel said that healthcare was a right that comes right out of the phrase in the Constitution that protects "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The four others in the case smiled and started to debate if that is what the phrase actually means.
The problem, of course, is that "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is NOT in the Constitution. It is part of the Declaration of Independence, and important document but not one that governs this country. If you took people off the street, maybe they would not know which document the phrase came from, MAYBE. On the other hand, if you have five supposedly intelligent people who spent the day preparing for what they were going to say on the program, you would think that they would at least understand what it and what is not in the Constitution.
What is the point of listening to these folks?

Just as the old saying says choose your friends wisely.
What and Who you allow to fill your mind with is a choice.
Fox may be a conservative network, however, much of what is broadcast wins NO ONE over from the LEFT.
Sometimes it is really embarrassing.
HENCE--- Glenn BECK, They allowed his nonsense to go on WAY TO LONG.
AND, They call entertainment not news
