Can we clear a few things up? In America we all have certain rights. They are nnot bestowed by government but we are born with them. The purpose of the Constitution is to prevent the government from infringing upon our rights.
We also have certain FREEDOMS, while these are not "rights" we typically call them such. A "Right" is something you have irresptective of other people. Life liberty, pursuit of happiness. These do not dpened upon others and we have these even if no one was around.
However, there has been a push from the political left to morph basic freedoms innto "rights". How can you have a "right" to something that must be provided to you by someoe else? This make them a slave to your desires, for example.
You have the FREEDOM to buy birth conntrol. You do not have the RIGHT to have someone lese pay for it
You have the FREEDOM to earn as much or as little as your abilities warrant. you do not have the RIGHT to an executives pay for a etry level effort.
You have the FREEDOM to purchase health insurance or to go to a doctor. You do not have the RIGHT to force that doctor to work on you.
You have the FREEDOM to go out to eat. You do not have a RIGHT to force that business owner to serve you.
Your Rights do not take precedence over anothers, nor do they alow you to force another to do anything. Live your life, and stop trying to force others to obey your desires.

Politics without substance
This week over half the Democrat Senate Caucus held an all night pajama party to talk about Global Warming.
Never mind that AGW rates near the bottom of peoples concerns in every poll. Nevermind that the overriding issues for people are; Economy, Jobs, Debt, Deficit, not political agendas like AGW.
The amazing thing is THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE SENATE!!! They were essentially demanding action from themselves. Add to that the fact they they have not introduced a SINGLE BILL that is on the floor for them to address their comments to.
Yet, their constituents think it is the Republicans thwarting their efforts to get their bill passed. They are ignorant of the fact that there is no bill.
This is the apogee of Democrat political theatre. It will have one benefit, as enviromental groups donated $21.2M to Democrats in 2012, and they need that money again, which was probably the point of this exercise, the feelings of their uninformed voter base aside.
At least when Ted Cruz stood on the floor and spoke, he was advocating a specific set of policies and actions. He had put a bill forward to discuss. Of course no one could foresee that President Obama would give him the very delay he was demanding and villified for. The Democrats can not even rouse themselves to that level of accomplishment.
