John McCain has earned the right to several entitlements including veteran's health care, disability payments, and social security. I am frankly surprised that he takes these public handouts, forms of welfare, even while flying from house to house in the private jet his wife bought for him.

Enough McCain, enough of this "freedom" tangent. Stop using fear and buzzword tactics to enforce a "silly" policy. Come up with something rational and reasonable.
